Keeping this in consideration, can you put real food in resin?
Art resin website states food based items can be preserved so long as they are ENTIRELY covered with resin. A follow up call to manufacturer is still fundamental Reagan-omics: Trust, but insure. Hi Derek, the problem with putting food in epoxy is that it has to be entire dry, otherwise it will spoil.
Just so, does fruit rot in resin?
No, encasing it in resin won't preserve your apple. Apples, like other fruits, contain enzymes that break down the cellular structure of the fruit. This is nature's way of allowing seeds to become free of the encasing fruit, usually with a little extra fertilizer from the rotting fruit falling around the seeds.
