  • Hi my lovelies. In this video I will be testing out all of the pigments. The most common question I get asked is "Can we use Resin Pigment" ? Well, you will find out exactly what happens when we do. I have never tried it so I am learning at the same time as you. In this video, I will be testing and comparing Alcohol Ink, Jesmonite Pigment, Acrylic Paint, Mica Powder and Resin Pigment. I am most excited for the Resin Pigment. This blew my mind! prepare to be shocked.

I understood that this was only available out of our country but if we go through Etsy we can get it and I'm so excited that I'll be ordering it soon. I've been watching all your videos so I'll be one step up on what I'll need to do this and start a journey I wasn't expecting LOL I really thought epoxy and I were friends for life.

      I forgot to write something that the acrylic resin manufacturer in my country told me (maybe it works for Jesmonite too): Chinese ink and water-based inks (such as liquid acrylic) and anhiline for dyeing clothes can also be used as a colorant. I haven't tried it yet but it's worth a try. Here in Argentina pigments are not available in a liquid state and therefore it is very difficult to reproduce an exact color that we are looking for.

    Anyone coming to Claire's video in 2023, just FYI Resin8 (the final test Claire did) went into administration earlier this year. I only know this because I tried to get a refund on products that had leaked terribly in transit, and found the website had a notice from the administrators on the front page. Hmm... 🙃
    The Jesmonite pigment definitely gives you best bang for your buck, alcohol ink will always pale in comparison because it's a dye, not a pigment - think sugar in water (dye), as opposed to mud in water (pigment). I bet *Golden Acrylics* would give you an _even better_ result than the Arteza. They're pricey, but for a reason - they're the most intensely pigmented acrylics I've ever used - a little goes a _very_ long way!

    Great experiment! All down to the ratio of pigment within the medium. The amount (teeny spoon) used was very comparable, but each will have different levels of pigment within the making of the medium, then is it natural or synthetic. Plus some were wet, some dry mediums. Colouring things is not straight forward. When dyeing fabric for example, synthetic / chemical dyes will give a richer more vibrant tone to a natural pigment. I could go on, but I've probably bored you already LOL. Colour was a big part of my degree xxx

      Heyyyyy Ursula ... you could never bore me ! I love to learn x 😍😍 Yes the amount you would need of the Mica would have to quadruple to have any impact at all .... x as for the alcohol ink and resin pigment ... well its just not worth the ££££ when the jesmonite pigment is so strong x

    I tried with acrylic paint last night and it worked well and the colour was nice but I got those white spots.
    My jesmonite didn't give me much time before it set, only around 3 mins

    brilliant video Claire, i’ve still to crack open my jesmonite kit 🙊😂 but i’ll do so soon. This was great to watch, i’ve also seen another video where they added the mic to the powder first, and the “wet” colour mediums to the liquid part before combining the two. I’d be curious to see if that made any difference 🤔 Maybe i’ll try that some. I bought retarder the other week, i’m fortunate to live around the corner from a jesmonite supplier. yay. As always, loved your video.⭐️

    • @ClairesCraftyCorner
      @ClairesCraftyCorner  3 года назад +2

      Heyyyy lovely .... yes Mica powder does work but you would need a Tablespoon of it to show any colour so I just had to do it in equal measures but it definitely can show up with a lot more colour than this did. Xx

  • @mosmosspam
    @mosmosspam 3 года назад

    I would say the acrylic paint was the closest in color. The Jesmonite Pigment was very concentrated and vivid, but did not look like the bottle. I wonder if just adding more of each would get them close to the represented colors. And how much of each type can be added before either it does not set or cause it to possibly break easier.

    • @ClairesCraftyCorner
      @ClairesCraftyCorner  3 года назад

      Hey Mos .. that is such a great point to make ! I never add that much Jesmonite pgment to any project .. I like paler shades but yes the acrylic paint was the closest match x

    nice experiment. I was curious about this too, and I still wonder if larger amounts of anything would affect the outcome, but as you said, you wouldn't want to use much of expensive products. And I also wonder if the jesmonite pigment would work in regular resins.

    • @ClairesCraftyCorner
      @ClairesCraftyCorner  3 года назад

      Heyyy Pam ... large amounts of Mica would absolutely give you a stronger colour yes 😍😍 the resin pigment and alcohol ink .. I really do not think they would end up that vibrant ... in fact I don't even think the resin pigment would cure ok if you used much more x ❤❤

    Hi Claire, I’m one of your recent followers, I really like your videos they are very helpful.
    I’m a beginner to jesmonite and today I made 2 coaster of jesmonite by following your tricks and tips. Problem is that there are some many tiny holes on the surface. How can I get rid of them and what can I do so it’s doesn’t come nxt time ? I wanted to share pic of my project with you , where can I do that.
    Thanks

    Hi Claire, loving your Jesmonite videos. I was wondering if you have ever dusted a mold with mica powders and then added the Jesmonite? I have a lovely large seahorse silicon mold and i want to be able to colour different parts of the mold with mica powders and chameleon micas. Kind regards Tink.

    Hi. Thanks for your channel. Can I ask? When acrylic paint was used for the marble effect, it stuck and didn't dry out after an hour, how much should I dry? Probably not acrylic suitable for the marble effect. Thank you Ivana
