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,
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!
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
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 🙌
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
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
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!
Thank you for the informative video Claire, you always make them fun & educational! 😀 💞🙏👍 I thought "No wonder I never heard of Jesmonite!" 😊 I live in Texas. I have used Ultracal 30 gypsum to make my stone molds & tealight candle holders - however I would LOVE to be able to incorporate colors like yours & not have to basecoat! 😃💞👍
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!!!
I love them all actually, really love the muted tones. Very very pretty. That mould is actually stunning. Love this little experiment and great for people looking to decide what materials to use. Great job lady!!
I tried making jar from plaster. The jars looked good and sturdy but when i pour in my wax. The jars sucks up the wax. Is this normal? I sealed the jars so i don’t know what i did wrong
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 there. Have you tried using jesmonite pigments in plaster? Anyone? I know they are great and very concentrated but also expensive so I want to try them out but not sure if it's really worthed.
Oooh a 2 week holiday would be wonderful! I have a long weekend craft retreat this week! And yep that's why I'm not playing with it dangit! I'd have been doing it ages ago if we could get it! I'm not a fan of working with cement, concrete or plaster of Paris but you made all of this look gorgeous!
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
I just bought two jesmonite kits from 5 below for $5 each. It’s not a huge amount but enough to make a couple things and comes with a couple molds and coloring too. Just fyi I see it on Amazon but idk if I can get it. I tried to get it from somewhere and it would not ship here so I have not tried.
Claire, thank you for the video very interesting. Would be great if you add a white cement try and a drop test? (If that is not ask too much). Just to see how well these materials behave! Would be great for me at least. 🤗
heyyy lovely ... I can tell you that they would all break if dropped ... Jesmonite is the strongest .. Plaster is the weakest .. but Jesmonite is not entirely shatterproof xx
Thank you so much for this awesome video. I had been wondering if plaster was comparable to jesmonite, and then I saw this. Of course I had to get some plaster right away. Just tried it in my silicone jewelry dish mold and I love it. I think I’m hooked...going to try cement next. Thanks again for the inspiration ❤️
Heyyyy Pam ... I am so glad you enjoyed it and tried it out ... a lot of comments under this video do say that plaster is not as strong or durable... but it still works xx ❤❤
@@ClairesCraftyCorner I’ve read that adding elmers glue makes it stronger. Gonna research that. I just tried layering it with resin like you did with the jesmonite...hope it works. Haven’t demolded yet😁
@Pam Longwell how did it work? Did you try it both ways, like Claire did, plaster to resin and then resin to plaster? If you recall, Claire found adding jesmonite to resin did not work for her. That's why she's doing the Jesmonite first in her molds.
Clair I’m loving your channel. Only just found you and so happy I have. Really excited about this jesmonite. Having only my bedroom to work in I’ve never works with resin because of the fumes etc. So this looks prefect for me. Plus wow something available here and not in the US it’s normal the other way round. You go looking for something you see a RUclipsr using to find it’s not here and your paying more than the product in postage
Heyyy Rebecca, thank you so much I am so glad you found me also :) I know right ? It really is usually us in the UK that can't get the goodies and this is definitely strange for it to be the other way around x
If I use POP for a coaster, can i coat it with resin to make it durable? My local stockist only has 35KG available and it's way out of my budget. Also I can't find plaster polymer in my country
