Thank you for clearing up the best type of cement to use!! I normally use Quickrete and you are correct! Its takes about 12 hours for me to demold it and so I switched to Cement All…and I see The BIG difference!! Thank you!!!
Just when I thought Hydrostone was a game changer, here comes another Jai exclusive to send me back into the lab lol. Boowannite and eco resin sound like really nice options. I'll have to do some research on sealing, but I'll definitely be testing both.
Hi, Jai. Great information as always. What pigment did you use with the Cement-All? I have not been able to achieve such vibrant colors. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent information. Very well done!! Great job! I have not been able to start as of yet due to financial issues but when I do start I will be using hydrostone. Thanks again for a great video!
Hi Jai, I've been using Jai's Formula for a while, it's the original double plaster, cement and sand ratio..... I notice you changed it to double sand later, just wondering if you ever tried double cement, single sand and single plaster?? Just want to know your thoughts on the differences in ratios, thanks!! (I'm gonna test for myself too of course!)
I want liquid pigment but I do not see a link to any. Would resin liquid dye be ok to use? I have used concrete pigment but it can get messy so I would like to try out liquid if u have any suggestions
Hi Jai, just looking at your video now and thought i'd let you know that its ok to demold after 10 hours using well this is all i've tried as i dont have access to Cementall, So i use 1 part cement and 2 parts builders sand, this sand i think is a great aggregate. I've done many many vessels late at night but before 8 O clock and demolded after my clock went off at 6-40 for work next morening 😂😂😂 I can tell you i have very strong vessels after this time. I learned alot from you on how to use the Earth safe products so im very grateful for that. 💙 I hope this helps others. Thankyou again for all your help.
Demolding time has more to do with a product used and a circumstance rather than a particular hour. As I say all the time not all cement, sand or water are the same. 10 hours was way too soon for me. Glad my videos have helped.
@@upvibecandle I'm sure glad it worked for me. I do let my molds dry for a whole week before I seal and then I let them cure for another week before I pour. Thankyou again. 💙
@@TheTinyCasitaNZ Hi I just looked at my notes from a while ago because I eyeball it now. So for an oval bowl with lid I use 400grams of cement and 800grams of sand and I used 190-195grams of water. Mix it well and when you think your happy with your mix then start spooning it into your mold in 2 or 3 stages. Be sure to tap the mold off your surface for a few second to release air bubbles in between spooning it in. I have no problems demolding after 12 hours. None. Now I will say I don't use acrylic paint using cement and sand as I found it not to work but I do marble with 2 pigment colours. I hope this helps you and I think you will be happy.
Ready!! Can you please talk a bit about where you get your pigments from? I’m banging my head against the wall trying so many different kinds (using Cementall) only to find very pale, little to no change in color at all and I’m about to throw in the towel making my own jars 😢 thanks for all you do!
A concrete fortifier strengthens and enhances the bond and durability of concrete, while a plasticizer improves workability and flow without adding water. They serve different functions and are not interchangeable, but can complement each other in certain cases.
This is such a good video, super useful information, thank you! Do you think the jars made with mortar mix or cement all would be strong enough to be used as plant pots?
Hey man. I really appreciate all of your videos and energy. I was just wondering if you have experienced efflorescence on you concrete vessels. Thank you for all you do :)
Just to say I also tried Resincrete is not good for candle jars. There are a lot of crafters using that. There’s another if you want to look up Jesin it sets very quickly they are new to America also.

It never ends. 😁
Eco resin is great but expensive
11:09 I absolutely love hydrostone 🥰
Hi, Jai. Great information as always. What pigment did you use with the Cement-All? I have not been able to achieve such vibrant colors.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks so much for your video!!! You clarified a lot of questions I had starting this journey!
Omg soo good! Instant save to favorite videos! Thank you💕
Very informative! Thanks. Question: How would these options rank in terms of strength?
@upvibecandle Thanks so much for such informative videos! Where would I get the red liquid pigment you used eith the Cement-All? It is so vibrant!
Fabulous as always Jai!!❤
For Jai’s formula, what does the benefit of adding plaster and concrete ? As a newbie - seems as if plaster and concrete serve the same purpose
Excellent information. Very well done!! Great job! I have not been able to start as of yet due to financial issues but when I do start I will be using hydrostone. Thanks again for a great video!
Wishing you a great successful 2024 and beyond! You got this!
Thank you very much and you as well!!

Cement is the paste and sand is the aggregate that makes it hard so adding more cement will weaken the vessel.

They should be fine but you always have to test.

Hi Mary, how much water approx you use? For you cement and sand mix? Thanks

I thinks it's a jesmonite liquid dye.
Can’t wait!
Is a concrete fortifier and a plasticizer the same thing or could I use a concrete fortifier instead of a plasticizer and get a similar result
A concrete fortifier strengthens and enhances the bond and durability of concrete, while a plasticizer improves workability and flow without adding water. They serve different functions and are not interchangeable, but can complement each other in certain cases.
I’m new to all this but I thought resin was flammable, so will it catch fire if I used it as a candle vessel
Resin can be toxic, not necessarily flammable. However, I didn't use resin. Watch it again and you will see.
Hello. Do you have experience with Rockite Cement? If so do you know if earthsafe will work for this cement?
ESF should work with Rockite. I would use the quick dip formula bit.ly/3DChNXg or bit.ly/3OqDFKq
Thank you! 🤍
This is such a good video, super useful information, thank you! Do you think the jars made with mortar mix or cement all would be strong enough to be used as plant pots?
Absolutely.
Hey man. I really appreciate all of your videos and energy. I was just wondering if you have experienced efflorescence on you concrete vessels. Thank you for all you do :)
Thanks. Efflorescence is a water issue. Balance it better as best you can, both humidity and content, and it will get better moving forward.
@@upvibecandle thanks bud for your quick response. I'll take that into consideration moving forward. Keep up the good work :)
This is amazing! Is this jesmonite 100 or 730?
100
I don't make candle jars but hot damn I love your energy!
You just made my morning a bit brighter!
Thank you❤🎉

Yes I know. And that is precisely why it's not on the list.
A nickel? You should see what I do for a quarter 😂
