| Here's a site I found recently which might be helpful, although I note they say the polymer spray will "help retain the natural color". In other words, color probably still fades or darkens with time, but this might slow the process a bit. I think the sealant would probably be helpful by keeping moisture out though. I have read that the oolite is better than silica since its faster-acting in removing moisture, thus preserving color better....but unfortunately I don't remember where I read it.
If you do use this method, please post your results. I have one more site I'll post separately as it shows flowers completely encased in acrylic. Unfortunately, no DIY kit offered, but there must be info out there somewhere...we'll just have to find it. josh |
