Resin Quantities
IMPORTANT NOTE: the amount of resin you will need for each casting will depend upon the size and type of flowers you are casting. The roses used in the tutorial video were densly formed with many layers of tightly packed petals meaning that they displace more resin and you will use less.
For smaller flower heads or flowers with fewer and more spaced out petals you will require more resin as the space taken up by the flower will be much less. If you need a hand working out the quantity of resin you will need for your casting you can contact our friendly team for more information.

The GlassCast resins are sensitive to low temperatures and if the resin gets very cold (either in storage or transport where vehicles and depots are rarely heated) or it sits still for prolonged periods, it can crystallise. This can produce a variety of effects ranging from cloudiness, flakes suspended in the resin and in the worst cases the whole lot can solidify. Fortunately this does not damage the resin at all and can be reversed by warming the resin in its container with the lid securely in place.
You'll need to hold it at 40-50°C for a few hours as it does take quite a bit of energy to reverse the crystallisation. The longer it has been crystallised, the longer it will take to reverse. You could achieve this by sitting it directly onto a radiator or putting it into an oven on a low setting. For best results we recommend standing the container in hot water (although you will have to change the water a few times to maintain the temperature) but this will return the resin to its clear, liquid form ready to be used for your project. We have yet to see resin that will not eventually return to being clear. Even when the resin has become a solid lump, with enough heat and time it will return to a liquid.
We do also have a video which shows the process of reversing the crystallisation. This is the link to this below if you would like to take a look:
How to Reverse Crystallisation in Epoxy ResinYes you can add glitters and flakes to the resin to give a different effect. We would always advise doing a small test first to make sure that the additives are colourfast. By doing a small test you will also see if your glitters sinks in the resin, this will help make sure you get the results you are looking for.
I priced up encapsulating my daughters corsage from her prom and when I saw the price of this kit and that it had enough resin to make two castings, it was a no brainer! I practised first and then did the corsage flower and it turned out brilliantly - for the same price - and I've learned something new!
I've purchase this kit as a gift for my friend's birthday, it's great value and looks good too :-)
