Pour a thin layer of resin into the mold to create a base and use the heat gun or torch to remove any bubbles. Using tweezers, carefully place the dried flowers on the first layer of resin, arranging them as desired. Mix more resin if needed and gently pour it over the flowers, ensuring they are fully covered.
Your flowers must be dry before you include them in resin. If they aren't, they will rot and change colors. I know because I've made this resin mistake. You can see what happened when I used fresh flowers in resin.
I also tried cooking salt (aka kosher salt) and I found this worked almost as well as the Activa silica gel. The only difficulty I had was that the salt clumped around the entire petal and it was sometimes difficult to chip the salt away without damaging the petal.
Before adding flowers to resin, you need to make sure they are completely dry, otherwise they will wilt and lose color over time (or instantly). In some cases they might even start rotting inside the resin, you don't want to see that haha. Even if you believe your flowers are already dry enough, wait another week.
Spray a few light layers of Aleenes Spray Acrylic Sealer evenly across the dried florals and grass, allowing to dry for about 30 minutes between coats. Be sure to flip the foliage over to seal both sides.
Comments Section You need to make sure your flowers are fully dried before putting them in resin or they will still decay. I strongly recommend a 2 part resin not a uv resin for anything larger than jewelry. Flowers float and hold a lot of air bubbles. Use a heat gun to pop bubbles to help get bubbles out and popped.

Preservation: Fresh flowers contain moisture, which can cause issues when encased in resin. To prevent this, it's recommended to dry or press the flowers before using them in resin. This ensures that they maintain their color and structure without introducing moisture that can lead to mold or cloudiness.
Here you can see how I used a combination of both; mixing the red resin and yellow resin together, and then adding a little extra yellow from the bottle until I got the orange that I wanted. Watch as you add dyes and mix well after each addition to see the true colors you get when mixing.
