Full Beginners Guide to Working with Jesmonite/ Acrylic Resin 

I’m so happy it helped

Great tip. Thank you for sharing

@@sherivegasartist thank you for all of your videos! They truly help me so much 😊

Thank you for watching

So nice of you

Yes you can definitely do it that way as well. So people like the break look and so prefer to pour 2 colours at the same time.

I’ve found that mica powders are fine but the epoxy pigment paste go funny in the jesmontie.

I never necessarily mixed them together, but incorporating both in the same piece can bring out beautiful designs.

This stuff is literally Calcium Sulphate (i.e. plaster of paris) mixed with acrylic resin. It is easier to use in silicone moulds than straight plaster and is much stronger when set. It also offers more options for finishing.

LOL

Wondering the same 🤔

Honestly that would be depend on the brand of resin you use

look for an acrylic base sealer in the type of finish that you are after e.g gloss or matt.

@@sherivegasartist thank you so much! I can use any brand? Is there any you recommend ?

I have seen people do it before. The colour isn’t that strong with the inks

www.barnes.com.au/single-product/forton-mg/

It’s called forton mg

Try adding black to it?

@@raeronda30 adding black to pink? to male it red

You start off with white base, so it’s natural that it comes out pink, because white and red mixed together makes pink. Do not add black. That makes no sense unless you want a dirty pink. Depending on your pigment, you’ll need a very high pigmented red in a large amount to overcome the white. I recently went through all my pigments and found to my surprise that the cheapest one I had, bought on Ali express, was so insanely pigmented it beat all the known brands. I would test out a small batch and different pigments like mica, alcohol ink (there are huge differences there when it comes to pigmentation) and see if you have any thing strong enough to conquer the white. Don’t be afraid to try out anything, most brands say you can only use their pigments and 99,9% of the time it’s a huge lie. I use my pigments for anything and everything that needs color.

2.5 grams to 1 gram or 25 grams to 10 grams 😊

@@sherivegasartist i realised that an hour later….. thankx

Maybe I have been saying it wrong? I’m from Australia and that’s how everyone says it here

@@sherivegasartist Unfortunately I think you are saying it wrong. I lived in Australia for 26 years near Wollongong (Albion Park) and there was a group of us that used this product. No one I know in Australia pronounces it as Jes-o-mite. The break down of the spelling tells you it is said as Jes-mo-nite. It is pronounced the same throughout English speaking countries. The pronunciation however is not to detract from the fantastic things you make or the quality of the work and items. Your tutorials are informative and creative.

Honestly who cares, people are so worried about the wrong thing’s these day’s.

It might matter if someone wants to search for it online or ask for it in a shop. It's always important to get things right!
