I wonder why this channel has less subs!!!!

You can put the original jar back in the mold, put the black side casings back on, lay it sideways on your work surface & plane the bumpy end off with a very sharp knife/razor/slicing apparatus or possibly even a hot knife-type of cutter. That should help you balance out the instability of that mold

I am a new candle maker & i have to say i am loving your content, a fair bit goes into making these jars, so interesting, thankyou you!!

@ashkcreates Год назад

Thank you so much! It's definitely some work but if it means the jars have a personal touch I think it's worth a try haha Lovely to see that you've ventured into the world of candlemaking and I hope it goes well for you! And thank you for checking out my content I really appreciate it

Hi you said putting water in the container to clean it. Unfortunately you can’t put the water and jesmonite in your sink cause it will block your sink. That is the problem with how to clean the containers after using the jesmonite.

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi Lilian! I understand your concern and have seen potential alternatives to cleanup, however for me I'm sort of stuck with the sink method because of how my workspace is set up. As such, the next best option for me is to minimise how much Jesmonite I have to wash at the sink. If you use flexible mixing bowls and tools you can leave the Jesmonite mixture to harden and then crack most of it off. However there will be some tools (e.g. the metal mixing blade) where you can't do that as the Jesmonite will become stuck onto it once it hardens. In those cases I would clean off as much mixture as possible (paper towels help), followed by washing at the sink. To minimise the likelihood of clogging issues, I flush the sink with a lot of water afterward. I have asked my Jesmonite supplier about this before and they said that this is how they handle cleanup too. I do plan on eventually trying out the alternative cleaning methods once I'm able to. Hope this helps!

These are so cool. I want to try so bad

This video is great. Thank you! Do you have a video on how you made your molds and what type of silicone you used?

@ashkcreates 8 месяцев назад

Hi Ashley! Really late reply but in case you'd like to view it I'll link the video I did showing how I made these moulds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G_qDArgeZG0.htmlfeature=shared&t=431

What do you use to seal your jars to make them heat resistant?

@louiscklaw Год назад

thank you for bringing such a cute jar to my life : )

@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E Год назад

Great video. You went into so much detail. Thank you for being so thorough.

@johnsaylock5095 Год назад

Went to far.

@johnsaylock5095 Год назад

I been using pvc pipe and pam cooking spray.😮 Works great.

@ashkcreates Год назад

Very interesting! I've been meaning to get round to trying the PVC pipe method, but hearing someone use cooking spray is a first! Now I have to try that too haha. Thanks for sharing!

@Janabstra Год назад

Hi! Great content thanks for sharing. Can you please tell what sealer do you use? Can’t seem to find a non toxic one. Thank you 🙏🏼

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi Janabstra! If you're able to get the (now discontinued) official Jesmonite Acrylic Sealer that would be a good start, otherwise Earth Safe Finishes has one that you can try out too! Here's where I first came across it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8udk7cHaEGE.html Hope this helps!

@@ashkcreates Awesome! Thank you so much!! I subscribed to your channel. You have great content. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

@Hanpolfamily Год назад

Hi, Thank you for your video! very helpful, I'm wondering what happen if I use just Jemonite ac100 sealer and make candle with it? Will there be a fire? or break the jesmonite jar itself due to heat?

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi Chloe! The sealer shouldn't really cause your jar to break - however it also may not be able to withstand the temperatures that a candle jar can reach (i.e. it might burn off). From what I understand the official AC100 sealer is non-toxic so if it does burn off you might be just losing the sealing properties, but I've heard from Jesmonite suppliers who use that sealer for candles and everything seems to be fine! Definitely do some burn testing if you decide to try it out for yourself.

@Sobieski526 6 месяцев назад

Hi Ash! Thanks for the video! Do you think it's a good idea to use AC100 for making candle jars? Worried that the official website suggests 80d C as max temperature it can withstand.

@abhishekbisawa6883 Год назад

Hi... love your videos. Have you ever tried putting the mixed Jemonite in vaccum chamber. Please try it if you can and let me know the results.

@ashkcreates 8 месяцев назад

Hi there, I actually haven't, but might be something to try out when I have the time! Thanks for watching

@pinaryavas1719 8 месяцев назад

Hi Ash, new in the business and wondering if you can do an a to z video of how your studio is organised, to making the candle jars and pouring the candle with fragrance. I'm confused as to how to best do my set up, calculations etc.

@ashkcreates 8 месяцев назад

Hi there, that's a great idea! Honestly I'm still figuring out my own organisation and processes despite doing this for over a year. Might be a fun video to make still showing where I'm at though and then seeing how it evolves a year from now!

@LynnStarofDestinyKreations Год назад

Nice job! I am using ultracal 30 as jesonm8te is sooo expensive here in the US. WhatnI am interested in is actually coming up with a calculator to use siliconeto make my own mold. Do you have any ideas or resources. I haven't found any yet. Ty for sharing!

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi there, ooh that's fascinating I've not heard of that material but it looks good! And yes Jesmonite is a tough one if you're based in the US, but I'm glad you've found something similar. A silicone calculator would be really useful! I've been doing it the not-so efficient way through trial and error to be honest 😅 I have come across this calculator, though it was more useful as a rough guide because it calculates the entire volume of your mould box without taking into consideration the volume of your master object - although if you do know the volume of your object there is a section to input that: www.alumilite.com/volume-calculator/ Hopefully someone with decent math and coding skills (that's me out) could help figure something out for all us crafters. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

@LynnStarofDestinyKreations Год назад

@@ashkcreates great. I personally didn't want to buy too much of silicone. The calculator is a starting point. Ty for posting it!! And yw. I am yt junky. Lolz I need to be working than watching vids.... they are so info for my learning brain. 😄😁😄😁

@Owa24 Год назад

And what kind off Jesmonite would you use to make the vessels and safe to burn candles in

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi there, crafters generally use Jesmonite AC100 or AC730 for making vessels! Remember to conduct burn testing when creating any candle and that will help ensure that they are safe.

@Owa24 Год назад

@@ashkcreates but uv stated you use ac100 to make yours so that one must be cool to use for the candle and heat off a burning candle

@caribfacesassi3544 Год назад

where online can i buy jesmonite in the usa?

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi there! It's not the easiest to get there, but Etsy might be a good first place to look for Jesmonite kits. Best of luck finding a source!

@leilarodrigues_ Год назад

What type of sealer do you use?

@ashkcreates Год назад

I've tried a few! Earth Safe Finishes makes a good option that is candle-safe.

@lanaya.h Год назад

@@ashkcreates Hi! I checked out their website but I'm not sure which one exactly I need for my jars (candle-safe!)

@57door Год назад

Jesmonite, where do you get that?

@ashkcreates Год назад

Hi Ken, there are many retailers that carry them! You can also find it over on Etsy. Jesmonite themselves have a distributors list over on their website that you can check out: jesmonite.com/distributors/
