Lovely video. Hydro dipping looks fun and a different option when it comes to coloring the vessel. I’m definitely going to try it. Direct Colors Pigments will do the job for you. You’ll only need a small amount to accomplish the color you are looking for.

@kaylat9300 2 года назад

I use cheap acrylic paint to color my cement works beautifully 😍

@TraceyFougere 8 месяцев назад

Mica powder and glitter gets covered in cement... sometimes comes to the surface... but if you want to color it... add cement powder coloring like you do to color grout. Paint will also color your cement.

@susandittrich798 2 года назад

I loved watching your video on hydro dipping. It’s fun to watch the color combinations and swirls. I just started playing with cementall & just received my earth finishes. If you seal the inside with earth safe and then dip with paint is it necessary to reseal the inside after adding paint inside before adding wax & burning? Thank you.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

I normally do seal again after, just to be safe. I don't want to take any chances of what the hydro paint may do or not do if it gets on the inside.

@chandlerbuchanan4105 6 месяцев назад

Use hydrostone. Its a gypsum based cement, and is white in color.

@sloebick 5 месяцев назад

would you seal these before or after you do dip them? They look beautiful!

@MalenasCreations 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I seal them after I dip them.

@tracywolff8764 2 года назад

Thanks for great video! Have you tried dusting the silicone mold with Mica, before pouring the cement? I'd be interested to know if the Mica would adhere to the concrete? (I use this technique with resin)

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! That's a great idea! In this video I just sprinkled it down the sides and it formed a pile at the bottom, so maybe if I sprinkle it and swirl it around it may work out better. Thanks for the tip :)

@fuzzylimefairy 2 года назад

I wonder if using nail polish would work in water too. Also instead of dipping it in sideways if you went straight down in with the vessel, I wonder how that would look. Nice video, I'm learning alot from these videos. Thx.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

That would be something to try. There are so many things you can do with concrete. Thanks for watching.

@gopalika11 3 месяца назад

Beautiful!! Do you seal it once again after dipping them in swirly water colour?

@MalenasCreations 3 месяца назад

Yes, I do!

@andrespereida3720 2 года назад

How much oz of wax can you fill to the unique vessel?

@anquinettemcknight4975 Год назад

I think you need to mix the mica into the dry cement first and then add the water.

@MelissaGlam 2 года назад

Question does the spray paint bubble on the outside of the vessel because of the heat?

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Try to keep it on the outside of the vessel only.

@scottward7415 2 года назад

Before hydro dipping do you seal the outside of the vessel as well as the inside

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

I only sealed the inside, I haven't tried sealing the outside yet.

@MrHerks 2 года назад

Hi, do you seal the hydradip before or after you dip? Or both before and after? Thanks! Great video

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Hi there! Thanks for watching! I seal the inside before and if I feel it needs an extra coat, I'll seal after one more time.

@humblelovingsouls 2 года назад

Such cool techniques thank you! Out of curiosity do you think candles are oversaturated? I want to start a small business but not too sure.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

You know it's funny you mentioned that...I was just talking to my friends today about that. I do think it's well oversaturated since covid. Seem like everywhere I go someone is selling candles. If your looking to start just a small business then you should be good :)

@humblelovingsouls 2 года назад

@@MalenasCreations thank you! Yes, so many businesses started during covid. I already have a small business but I'm looking to sell something that people purchase often which I thought candles would be. I'm just worried about investing a good amount of money then not being able to at least make my money back. Surprisingly it's actually not cheap to start a candle business.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

@@humblelovingsouls Just a little advice. It can be done :) You won't know until you try and have patience.

@justbekind8744 2 года назад

When you burn the candle, do you have any of the color seep into the wax?

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

I haven't had that happen since I now only let the paint cover the outside and not let it get on the inside.

Ouch! Watching you use all that mica was painful! I turn my cement all white using titanium dioxide before I add paint to dye the cement ❤

I may have to try that! Thanks!

@foampillowcomfort 2 года назад

After you hydro dip do you seal the outside then?

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

You can if you like the shiner look.

@estherdavis1646 2 года назад

Use Acrylic Paint--It colors better

@myriamhayesroussil2033 Год назад

I have a question : even if the paint is flammable, is it safe to use on the outside of a candle jar only?

@MalenasCreations Год назад

When you dip them, try your best to not get the paint on the inside. If it does happen, seal coat with the EarthSafe seal coat.

@shannonmac7801 2 года назад

A month later, do you notice any chipping or peeling of the paint? The method seems easy enough and the results are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Not yet and I've already reused the vessel twice for testing. So far so good :)

Use pigment powder

@shiningstarsoup 8 месяцев назад

I tried the Hydrodip method, but I didn't quite have great results - I'm wondering if it is because I used enamel-based spray paint? (And I'm wondering if it will be safe for me to use to make them into candles now.... oof)

@MalenasCreations 8 месяцев назад

It's just all a matter of testing them. It's the process we candlemakers have to go through. I haven't made the hydro dip vessels in a long time. I'm always doing new projects all the time.

@shiningstarsoup 8 месяцев назад

@@MalenasCreations Thank you! I'll definitely have to test the two I made... and invest in a different kind of spray paint, like the acrylic kind lol

@Alwyzrite28 2 года назад

Did you measure the FO or just eyeball it?

@MalenasCreations Год назад

I measure by ounce/percentage

@865candlecompany 2 года назад

How soon after you dip can I seal? And after seal how long to wait to pour candle?

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Let it dry for a few mins and then seal coat. I normally wait a few hours or a day to pour the wax.

@865candlecompany 2 года назад

Thank you so much.

@belindaw.5853 2 года назад

Mica in my experience is more equivalent to eyeshadow when it comes to cement, unfortunately. Pigment powders work better, although a little more pricey.

@Craftygyrl 2 года назад

How much Fragrance oil did you use for this particular candle vessel size. Did you use the entire 1oz bottle

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

I use 10% FO load, so .9oz was used for this vessel

Hi. I’m new to your channel but I’m so obsessed so far. My name is Jennifer and I’m 45. My husband and I have been married for 25 years now. We have two children, 21&19. I just recently this summer had to bury both parents and my only sibling. To say 2021 almost killed me would be an understatement. I’ve been praying and searching to find my purpose in this world again. My parents loved candles. And trust me I’ve went through every trend on TT and candles is where my heart is at. I want to name this new beginning JoLila’s after both my parents names. With a cardinal symbol. But I don’t understand everything that goes into this. Does the wax need to be a certain temp before adding in the oils? And tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

@MalenasCreations 2 года назад

Hey Jennifer, congratulations on your 25yrs of marriage! I am also truly sorry for your losses. I absolutely love the idea of you with making candles in memory of them. I would recommend do a lot of research before investing in a candle business. Sorry but I can't help with all the info you need in just a comment.
