- Watch as Jara coats a silk flower with XTC-3D epoxy resin to create a long-lasting glossy display.
XTC-3D® is a protective coating for smoothing and finishing 3D printed parts. Two liquids are mixed together and brushed onto any 3D print. Coating self-levels and wets out uniformly without leaving brush strokes. Working time is 10 minutes and cure time is about 4 hours (depending on mass and temperature). XTC-3D® cures to a hard, impact resistant coating that can be sanded, primed and painted. Adding colors and metal effects is easy.
Inexpensive to Use: 1 oz covers 100+ square inches.
90% Time & Labor Savings: XTC-3D® fills in 3D print striations and creates a smooth, high gloss finish. The need to post finish is almost eliminated.
Coat any 3D Print Surface: XTC-3D® can be applied to both SLA and SLS prints. It works with PLA, ABS, Laywoo, Powder Printed Parts and other rigid media. It also can be used to coat EPS, EPDM and urethane foam as well as wood, plaster, fabric, cardboard and paper.
XTC-3D® does not contain VOC's, phthalates or phosphates.

This was neat, but I wish the title had said silk flower, as this is useless to people trying to coat real flowers.
Eee BMW
Neala Ernswa // why would anyone want to put resin on a REAL flower?
For the same reasons as one would put resin on a fake flower, or to preserve the real flower.
i thought it was real flower>.
I've been looking for a video on coating a real rose in epoxy resin myself as well
For a real flower you must first dry it, silica gel will preserve color and look of your flowers
Terrific! EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Thank you for sharing and taking time to give such great tips!
That rose is the prettiest rose I've ever seen
Very beautiful, I love it. I make paper flowers and wanted to use the resin to coat the leaves as the paper I have isn't really doing the job. Wow am I inspired.
No. You cannot coat real flowers this way. They will have to be preserved first. Look at: RESIN COATING REAL ORCHIDS. Here's how to 1/2.
Thank you for posting your comment. It was exactly what I was looking for, not this.
same here! :-D
Ty, same here ..
I think folks that actually work with resin/epoxy understand YES whatever MUST be dried before or the color will be ripped away. I want to find the best way to epoxy a single dried rose. Tonight i shall try it out.
@Ethan Hemphill I buy freeze dried flowers from Etsy. This is my favorite seller www.etsy.com/shop/FreshlyPreserved I contacted her directly as I only wanted orchids. Tell her you don't want edible. I paid
$20 + $10 shipping for 20 orchids. I have to warn you that when they arrive they are closed and because they are dry very fragile, but I found the way to open them up without breaking them. I will make a video soon.
this looked great till I read the info on Amazon - sounds even worse than usual epoxy resin, which is dangerous enough without proper PPE.
Info copied below. PPE needed folks, but this looks like an awesome project to do with the proper precautions

Yeah I agree with the comment below mine. It is useless because the flower would mold inside the resin.
Thanks for this video coating silk flowers. I am not familiar with XTC-3D, but I will check it out. Regards

How beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you for watching!
Smooth-On Fan Channel: Made By You ..can i know about Material?? pls
Great idea 😊
Hi, where did you get this rose from?
I have some silk cherry blossoms I'm planning to turn into drawer pulls after I harden them with resin! Thanks!
How would you dry an object if the entire thing was coated in resin, and you did not have a bare, unresined spot to clip up to hang and dry?? I have been trying to resin whole pinecones and natural foraged things but have no idea how to dry them without damaging the coat.
prop them up on little wire triangles or little blocks
Does this make the flower last forever
Very nice ,I like that! I Love flowers more than anything i . The world! GOD IS GREAT!
I want to use fresh flowers in an art piece so I have to make sure they actually last without being brittle or decaying. Once the flower is dried and the product brushed on like this and hardened can I then dip it in the product or in regular resin so that I make sure the inside is preserved as well. It’s very hard to get a brush into all of the petals of a rose.
After coating the petals, could you then set this flower in a jar and fill the jar with resin without any bubbles?
We have seen customers do this process. It's a great idea!
Could you just dip the flower in resin and then let it cure? And could this work for plasticine? I'm just curious as I wanted to coat a large plasticine statue in resin to give it a glow and protect it.
This makes the flower bleed out it's colour
by god what does it say about me that I already have all the components laying around. =D
I am looking for this video thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing 🤟❤️🥰💋 I’ve just started being a jewelry Art and patches!!!
So with resin dipped roses do I let the rose sit in the drying crystals and then try to brush or do I just brush it when it’s fresh?
Do you need to dry the flower first and if so how please? Also does this just set hard this xtc and no need to dry with a heat gun thing?
Once you coat and cure with XTC, could you then embed the flower in a resin sphere?
+Cynthia Small Certainly, Crystal Clear resin or EpoxAcast 690 could be used.
Lovely! Thanks so much
Wish a real flower was used thats the video i been looking for. I guess i will have to try out my own.
Thank you so much for sharing this, that's so beautiful. ^_^

Does this work with fresh flowers?
No, you have to dry it first
Can you coat a flip phone with it assuming you tape and protect areas you don't want to be part of the custom resin phone case
Could you use this on paper roses?
You definitely could!
Thank you for asking first :)
hi does this make it waterproof. could i get the flower wet if need be?
I was wondering the same thing.
Not too much. Resin figures can be cleaned with water or a whipe but too much water is not good for them you can do it once in a while.
It is ok to use varnish?
How did you dry that flower so perfectly? or is it fresh. When I dry mine they look dead no doubt about it.
It’s a silk flower
Try using silica gels!! I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and my entire family was astounded by the end product. They wouldn’t believe it was fully dried
Silica gel dries flowers perfectly BUT the more delicate the flower, the more it'll fall apart when removed. Drying them out makes them ultra thin, paper-like. If you can carefully handle them in that state then apply the epoxy and it'll dry. But in my experience I even skipped the silica gel and went straight to the epoxy and it was slightly stronger (this worked best only on Orchids though)
Can I use this method with silica preserved roses?
Yes, we have had customers do this process.
Could this be used to cost a 3-d print of a toy so that the silicone mold comes out shiny?
Absolutely!
what is part a and part b? tell us what it contains.that is the point no?
Part A and B ingredients can vary dependant on material. Usually one side contains base materials and the other contains curing catalysts.
Would this product work on a vinyl collectible figure? How about a painted & deco taped 1 (metallic pin stripe)? Looking to decorate/mod 1 I bought an extra of & wanted that glossy resin finish over it, also keeping striping tape in place too so it won't peel over time. Thx.
We would recommend investigating Ure-Coat for your application. www.smooth-on.com/products/urecoat/

What about a real flower?
How solid is this? Could you drop it and it survive?
Yes, this would be impact resistant.
Can I do this with a Magnolia blossom?
It would be worth testing as we have seen real flowers coated in the past.
scusami ma prima di vetrificate i fiori con cosa li tratti? sono freschi o secchi?
Secco
Is it real flower?
Fayrouz T it's a silk flower...
Speak up, no one can hear you.
