Tip for Jesmonite users: You can help decrease clumping by sifting the powder first, and always put your liquid in first.

@tinacluff2793 Год назад

Watched Claire's Crafty Corner and one of her viewers suggested sifting the Jesmonite before mixing and it worked for her.

Thank you so much Steve! I've been wanting to try Jesmonite but as you know, it's difficult and expensive to get it in the USA. I've been considering trying some sort of plaster, but you've just shown me EXACTLY what I was looking for. And thank you for trying different colorants. It will help me decide which to use and how much! 💙💙💙

@bubblemum Год назад

I am not surprised that the food coloring impeded the hardening of the materials; it is handy because food coloring, while very good for frosting is really fugitive and will fade with exposure to light. I used to dye fabrics and found out that those beautiful purple pokeberries would go grey brown in a short period of time, alas.

Happy to do this. Jesmonite is a good product, but I know it can be difficult for some to get hold of. I was really surprised how nice and easy and simple the ResinCrete was to use. It also goes a long way. I loved using it, it also goes a long way.

@lauriewatson2822 Год назад

Have you ever tried Perfect Cast casting material? I use it all the time and I betcha it's way less expensive to use. I pay like $7.99 for 4 pounds of it. It mixes easily with water, takes color well and is fast setting. The things I've made with it have all been very hard but like you, I wait 24 hours before testing that out. I don't know if you can get it in the UK but here in the states most craft stores sell it. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them.

@uniqueresinartbymarlies3292 Год назад

Hi Steve, I did a similar test with the ResiCrete. However, instead of adding the coloring to the mixed mixture. I added the coloring to the water. It works like a charm. Have you already done a comparison b/w the ResiCrete and Aqua Cast? I tried to add temporary tattoos to the ResiCrete but it did not take/lift if from the mold, nor dit it take it on the cured outside. No problem to add temporary tattoos to cured Aqua Cast. I have not yet tried to put the tattoos in the mold prior to pouring the Aqua Cast. Thank you so much for all the helpful experiments you do, which safe us a lot of time and $.

@SunshineSomeday Год назад

I watched a jesmonite tutorial that said to remove it from the mold before it can start sweating. I don't know how long you waited, but could that be the issue with the gnome? I love your channel. You are such a fun teacher.

@libbyannbest1723 Год назад

Food coloring is made of water. The extra water delayed the cure.

Tip for popping resin bubbles. 🫧 For big projects like a chopping board, instead of a spray bottle, I use a rechargeable face mister with isopropanol in. It stops those horrible ‘dimples’ and makes the isopropanol last a lot longer. 😊

@notebookluvr Год назад

So I'm assuming because the item you made with the mold was a thicker item, it will take longer for the innermost, deepest part of the mold to cure. That's been my experience, anyway. You might need to let it cure for several days if it's thick and deep. This is based on my experience using plaster and perfect cast, which is a quick drying plaster alternative that is 5x stronger than plaster. Not sure if it's similar to either of the products you're using. US viewer.

Sorry to be the downer but this product is WAY more expensive than Jesmonite in the US. The JDiction product is over $18 a pound (about $12 per pound after the coupon) and Jesmonite as well as Eco Resin are $10 a lb or less and can be bought in larger quantities. I truly appreciate your videos and your experiments but just needed to point out that this is crazy pricy for the US.

@claytonjames4779 Месяц назад

well, constructive advice first: You're supposed to measure the amount of dye and it's not to exceed 5% I'm told? so just tossing in a teaspoon, is that a good idea? Also, 24 hours before demold is not advised either; it will sweat. Demold as soon as it's hard. Looking at how it was mixed, in such a small container, I doubt that one piece that didn't cure was mixed well enough. Slow down, my friend. there isn't a time limit.

@janicescragg2388 Год назад

This has me curious. What is the difference between these products and plaster of Paris? I know the plaster is relatively fragile, and that being said, which of these two are more durable? Would a hardness test tell us this? As for the food coloring, can it be used in resin? If that is the case, how color fast is it? Thank you for your video, now I may have to try this product out. I like that you can do things with water colors on it. Hmm. Food for thought.

@kimtae858 8 месяцев назад

This stuff is just fine art plaster + a binder. Some use PVA binders while others use latex; you can get huge jugs of latex concrete binder for cheap from hardware stores. Just about any pigment or paint outside of oils can be used for coloring though the richness of the color and its evenness might not be what you want if you go the DIY route.
