Culture Cast Flower Preservation Resin - Clear Casting Epoxy

Culture Cast Flower Preservation Resin

Culture Cast is a clear casting epoxy made for wedding bouquet preservation, memorial flowers, dried botanicals, and meaningful floral keepsakes. Its approximately 25-40-minute working time gives flower preservation artists room to arrange petals, position full floral compositions, release bubbles, and refine details before the resin begins to set.

The 1:1 formula cures with a clear, glass-like appearance that keeps the flowers at the center of the finished piece. Culture Cast is commonly poured around 1 inch deep per layer, making it a practical choice for floral blocks, bouquet keepsakes, embedded artwork, and professional flower preservation businesses.

How to Use Culture Cast for Flower Preservation

1. Dry the flowers completely. Fresh flowers contain moisture that can affect curing, clarity, and color. Use properly dried flowers before embedding them in resin.
2. Plan the arrangement. Test the full floral layout in a clean, dry mold before mixing the epoxy.
3. Measure equal parts. Combine Part A and Part B at a 1:1 ratio by volume.
4. Mix slowly and thoroughly. Stir for 3-5 minutes while scraping the sides and bottom of the container. Avoid whipping excess air into the mixture.
5. Pour with the project conditions in mind. Culture Cast is commonly poured around 1 inch deep per layer. Mold width, room temperature, total resin volume, flowers, and other inclusions can affect the appropriate depth and working time.
6. Allow the piece to cure undisturbed. Follow the instructions supplied with the product before demolding, sanding, or polishing the finished keepsake.

Culture Cast vs. Hard Cast

Choose Culture Cast for flower preservation pieces poured around 1 inch per layer when you want a shorter working window and faster project turnaround. For thicker floral castings around 2 inches, choose the slower-curing Hard Cast Deep Pour Epoxy Resin.
