Flower Preservation Bundle
Preserve a moment in time with your next Apex Resin pour
This fantastic bundle is the perfect kit to preserve the colours and details of beautiful blooms as keepsakes to cherish forever. Dry precious flowers, petals and foliage in silica sand with ease and then preserve them forever cast in crystal clear, durable Apex Resin Deep Cast.
Beginner to flower preservation? No problem, we got you! Visit our classes and book the ‘Dried Flowers Beginner Masterclass’ course. Ideal if you want to dry your flowers for the first time alongside the lovely Lou - an experienced resin teacher as your guide.
Bundle Includes:
- Apex Resin Deep Cast Kit 3 Litre with instructions
- Silica Sand 1.5kg for drying flowers and foliage
As you carefully lay your flowers to rest within the blooming silica crystals, the tiny granules begin their work absorbing the moisture from your precious petals. The process is short, and you can reveal your flowers with an excited sense of anticipation, as the vibrant hues of your paper like flowers are revealed.
Continue to preserve the memories of your flowers by embedding them into your Apex Resin Deep Cast within a 12 week time frame.
Remember, your Blooming silica can be re-used, over and over by simply heating it in the oven after each use. Simply re-generate between each use by heating in an oven (between 100 degrees C and 120 degrees C) for 2 hours (in a non-food use tray).
Directions:
- Completely cover fresh flowers in silica sand
- Ensure the container is airtight and covered
- Leave for 3-10 days. The length of drying time will vary depending on how moisture rich your flowers are.
- The process can be sped up by using a microwave on high for 1 minute, and leaving to cool for an hour, although we would still recommend leaving the flowers for at least a week before embedding them in resin.
- Use a soft bristled brush to remove stubborn silica sand from dried flowers.
- Within 12 weeks after drying. Follow the instructions in your Apex Resin Deep Cast leaflet to preserve your blooms in resin to cherish forever.
Information and Safety:
Silica dust:
Many building products including concrete, tiles, cement products and clay bricks contain silica, as does sand, rocks and granite. Silica dust is usually created when these building products are cut, drilled or otherwise worked on to release fine particles. This form of silica ‘dust’ can be considered harmful to the lungs with prolonged use (in large quantities, over many years). We advise you to wear a mask when using silica and to avoid pouring large amounts in one go.
Some flowers will alter in colour when dried in silica - please keep a journal of which ones do
There have been known to be some flowers that just struggle to dry successful in silica - these include Agapanthus, Lisianthus and Gerbra

Customer Reviews
Apex Deep Pour is by far the best deep pour i have used. The finish for my flower preservation products is amazingly crystal clear. I would highly recommend this product.
Thank you so much Donna, this means a lot to us xx
This Deep Cast resin is so easy to use and gives outstanding results. Having tried several brands on the market here in the UK this is now the only one I use.
Thank you so much Bridget 😊
Will buy again, do the job I purchased the deep pour resin for.
This resin is fantastic. It’s bubble free and crystal clear which makes it really easy to work with. Perfect for casting with.
I’ve used other brands of resin with many countless hours trying to eliminate micro bubbles, causing frustration. While no product, depending on inclusion added into the resin has absolutely no bubbles this product comes extremely close. This resin eliminates many hours of frustration.
Hi Sheri, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased the clarity our resin has made life so much easier for you. We really appreciate your feedback.
