Jesmonite is a pain to get into the US, extremely expensive. I currently use perfect cast (slightly stronger than regular gypsum plaster). Perfect Cast takes pigments well, but I still prefer jesmonite. And I like cement for pots that don't need color.
Heyyyyy thank you so much this is a great tip for anyone in the USA looking.. xx I will pin your post ❤❤ I really wish it was easily available there x but cheaper
How strong is perfect cast? I know jesmonite is the strongest followed by cement and weakest plaster. Can u please tell where Perfect cast would go in this range?
Here is something you might want to try. You can make plaster very strong and durable enough to last outside for ever, and strong enough to through 20 ft up in the air without breaking. When you mix it with water, add concrete acrylic fortifier, the more you add, the longer it takes to have chemical reaction to set up and flows better, and stronger it is.
Just wondering, is that the best combination to use? Is this acrylic fortifier something you can add to cement? I've made some out of normal cement, only 1 out of 3 survived without breaking when I took them out of the mold and worried that the last one will break easily if handled to roughly.
@@saharriazati9927 Yes, thats what it is actually for, cement, you buy it by the cement in a quart or gallom, a quart is about 10 bucks and i use 1 quart for 5 bags of cement for stuff, you might want to use 1 quart for 3 bags for a much harder concrete. It will kinda have a temporary purplish color at first, but changes when hardens. takes a while longer to harden, but when it does, you almost can't break it. Called Concrete Acrylif Fortifier with the Quickcrete brand, some of the other brands call it something similar,
Thanks for this video Claire xo. Just for those who may wish to experiment, when looking up Jesmonite Safety Data Sheets, the powder component is listed as Plaster of Paris, and the liquid component as some sort of acrylic compound. I'm sure someone could come up with something extremely similar. Happy experimenting (I hope this helps someone).
I read that too. That jesmonite is basically plaster of paris and acrylic resin. I wanna try it but it’s more expensive than just mixing the plaster with water. I wanna know if they look different after sanding
@@IsaacMaganaMusic For what Jesmonite is, I too think it is way too expensive. I would imagine Jesmonite and simple plaster of Paris would look reasonably alike. Back in the day (a long time ago at art school) I made a few sculptures from plaster of Paris, which sanded down to a lovely smooth finish, however, I found them to be a bit brittle (plus plaster naturally absorbs water). I'm thinking that the acrylic may solve the brittleness problem to a certain degree, and maybe also the water absorption. It's probably something I'll experiment with a bit some time in the future. I have plaster of Paris (pretty old though, but still in powder form), so I only need to research the acrylic side of things and play around. I have read, somewhere on the net, that glue can be added to strengthen plaster also. It didn't specify which type of glue, but I guess some more research may answer that question.
@@belahouison4328 yes, I have tried the glue method. You basically mix white glue or concrete glue to the water and the add the plaster. But be careful tho, plaster goes bad after 3 to 6 months if you store it
@@IsaacMaganaMusic Thanks Isaac. My plaster will be off then - it's over 20 years old!!!! I'll probably still have a little play with it anyway (just in case). It has been stored in well sealed plastic bags, in a plastic bucket with (oddly enough) 2 lids. Found it in my craft supply hoard a few months back. If nothing else, I could use it for adding texture to whatever.
heyyyy lovely .. yes I did not kknow this at all but someone else in the comment section actually gave the name of the additive that makes plaster stronger .. i will have to go find it x
Fantastic comparison video, Claire. We are looking into shipping Jesmonite to the US in a way that's affordable for our customers. We'll keep you posted!
this was the video I didn't know I needed! cause I recently realized how hard it was as well and wondered a lot about using plaster or cement but was too scared to try it out myself in case it just ended up a mess! Thank you
Loved this video Claire as usual. Plaster of Paris tends to be a little weak and can chip easily, but if you add a product called plaster polymer which is a liquid and quite cheap, it will turn the plaster into pretty much Jesmonite. Have a little research and you will find information about doing this. I would like to fiddle with using marble dust also to get a fake marble effect, it never ends!
@@artycrafty9209 perfect thank you, I’ve just been mixing good old Pva glue in the mix but find my finished pieces still chip easy. Will definitely try this next. Thank you 🙌
Hey, I just got interested in trying to work with molds like these and I'm so happy you made this vid. I'm not sure if I can or will start with jesmonite, so it would be great to test it out with other plasters and know the difference! Thanks a load, saving this for reference and youve got a new follower!
Hey Claire thank you so much for all of your video, it really inspired me to start of my own small business here in Malaysia during this pandemic, im working as paramedic so i found this “art” let the stress out of me and make me calm. Not thinking about the depress situation in the Hospital. Sadly in Malaysia is very hard to get a jesmonite. I used white cement as alternative. Hopefully i can started to take order soon. Currently doing my r&d at the moment.
Heyyyyy lovely thank you so much xxx Wow you do an amazing job ! I cannot imagine how stressful it must be right now xxx Amazing that you have started a small business I hope it goes well x I think there is a Jesmonite supplier in Singapore and Malaysia .. maybe they are low stock right now ? xx
Thank you so much for this testing. I just got into resin and jesmonite and didn't know I can't get it here in the US. I got some DAP plaster of Paris. The measurements helped alot. Now I can make my trays. I wanna make terrazzo chips too. Thanks SOOOOO much!!!
Eu não entendo nada de inglês 😅 mas gente, eu vi uma moça que misturou gesso, pó de mármore e fluido plastificante a base de sbr e ficou melhor que o gesso apenas, não sei dizer se fica com a qualidade equivalente ao jesmonite, mas fica mais resistente e sem esfarelar
I haven't even started watching it yet but thank you for this because I cannot find job night and I really like it and I'm hoping that I have will be somewhat comfortable.
Another great video Clair loved all three of the pots who would of thought cement and plaster could look so pretty well done Clair really enjoyed your experiment great results and thoroughly enjoyed watching you create x

Hello, a little bit late comment but there is white cement available too if you want to preserve the color! Thanks for cleaning up the differences I started with cement that is cheap and that I'm familiar with from other DIY projects and then I realized most crafters prefer jesmonite. Probably I will try the plaster too if I make anything to sell, to keep the weight down to avoid extra shipping cost.
Thanks for this video. It gave me great insight. Wish jesmonite was easy to get a hand on in the USA, but I'm going to play around with concrete as an alternative to epoxy resin.
Hey Claire.. absolutely informative and thanks for the initiatives for alternatives introduction...in India jesmonite is super rare and expensive..ll work with rest two ..tks once again and grt wrk ..keep going ❤️
I’m so excited to watch this. Looking forward to seeing if you use sand with your cement and the type of cement that you prefer to use... so so excited
They both look awesome. I would definitely use cement. That one is nice. I’m reacting terribly to resin even though I wear protection from head to toe so I might have to change my craft.
