I really enjoy watching your videos they are very relaxing and informative. It's nice that you don't rush the process and explain all the steps easy to understand. Thank you 🌸
Hi Tina. Thanks for your kind words. Glad my videos help! Have you seen my video on how to create labels? ruclips.net/video/MZKdzFFykv0/видео.html Hope this helps, if not, let me know what questions you have!
When you say pay attention to the temperature, what should we be looking for when unmolding? How long do you think is too long? How long do you usually wait?
@@evenifcandlecompany I caught that part. I was making vessels from your videos and I don’t know what I did wrong. My vessels are cracked and cold as I unmolded them.
@@shakaramitchell6026bummer! You might be using too much water in your mixture or not having it dry in a proper space. I’m not sure why else that would occur. Hope that helps you out, and you can figure it out!
@@evenifcandlecompany I think I probably did. I was making multiples and It dried up super fast when I was adding the mixture to the mold, so I kept adding water to it. More than likely I made a bad batch. Any tips on what to do about it drying up before I’m done pouring the mixture? Thank you for helping and actually responding.
@@shakaramitchell6026I would make smaller batches. You can pour them faster and mix them better, leading to more consistency in your vessels. It’s time consuming, but will end up being worth it.
I had the same problem. I went on anozon and got a big silicone mat to lay down. It grips to what i lay it on and to clean any cement i get on it i just let it harden and it will just pop off most of the time. I live in the woods so i just take it out side and shack it really goo. Hope it helps.
This was a video from a while ago, since then I have gotten new products such as silicone mats and such, to help with this. I don’t plan on making concrete vessels much, anymore. But thank you for your help! 😀
You’re welcome! They are only water resistant if you use a sealant. And yes, I’m sure you could use it for planters. I know there are a lot of molds for planters out there. People use my vessels as planters, once candle is finished, as well. 👍🏻
I’m new to the art of concrete, so can you tell me the name of the cement you use, and you don’t have to put sand or another aggregate in with the cement? Your vessels turned out gorgeous, and I can hardly wait to make my own. Thanks so much for the help.
All products I use are linked in the description. Cement All is the name. I don't add any steps that I don't put in video. It's just straight from the bag :) Thank you for your support!
You can use any water. Due to where I’m located, we have very hard water, which results in defects in the vessels, spots, etc. So, distilled water being filtered, helps with that. I also have an RO system, that I could use. You can try your tap out and see how they come out 👍🏻
@@evenifcandlecompany Thank you for answering my questions. I’m excited to start making things. I have over 10,000 followers on Twitter & I’m going to tell them about your channel, and see if we can get you to that thousand you wanted. I sincerely appreciate you taking time to answer my questions, and wish you all the best. I will be a loyal viewer. God bless!
Hello! So glad I found you..I love your content as you are so authentic! Keep it going. I do have a questions. I am using hydrostone and live in Canada. March Safe does not ship to Canada. Is there another sealer I could purchase from hardware store that is not flammable? Thanks! Ginny
It’s on the mold itself! Custom molds are an option for some companies. I am changing the company I have used because the quality lacks. Or else I would recommend them. Canadian silicone molds does it and I’m considering switching to them.
I’m wondering if you have had any issues with your vessels being wet? Just trying to see if there is another issue that’s going on. 👍🏻 I’m not sure why you would leave it in for a few days, because they actually don’t fully dry in the mold, also the expansion that occurs will cause issues for your molds. Let me know if I can help more 🙂
Hi Brit, Which base did you use for the pigments, grey or white? This is all new to me. Your paper sheet, can you tape it to the table so it wont move? Thanks for your help!
Hey! I use grey base for pigments. I could tape it, but it would still crease and fold at times. So, let’s just say I’m no longer using that paper for this process 🤣
Hello!! Thank you for making this video it’s very informative!! May I ask what kind of cementall you use? Do I need a whiter color cement? Or the natural gray color of the cement will disappear once add pigment in? Thank you
@@evenifcandlecompany thank you very much!! Im a newbie in making concrete jar for my candles so your channel is a life saver! May I ask if I need to seal the inside of the jar as well? As I don’t want the unsealed concrete to soak up my wax but also dont know if the sealer would mix up with the wax as I pour…
Glad my channel has helped you! I at least seal the inside of a jar due to the porous nature of concrete. The outside of a jar looks great sealed, too. But, that’s on top of already sealing interior. Make sure you are waiting a few days before pouring into your sealed vessels.
I believe you asked this question in my other concrete vessel video. I don’t have much experience with that. Never been a problem for me. But one cause could be unfiltered/hard water. But, I’m unsure of your circumstances. Other resources I’m sure are out there to assist further
I’ve never had water float at the top before, so I’m not sure why that occurred. Maybe it’s due to you not using distilled water, or possibly using too much water and not mixing well enough.
In my experience, it causes spots if you use non filtered water. But see how it works for you first, from your tap. It could be totally fine where you live.

When you say pay attention to the temperature, what should we be looking for when unmolding? How long do you think is too long? How long do you usually wait?
Hello, At time stamp 15:35 I cover that. You want to wait until it's not warm, it takes about 3-4 hrs. But that depends on your environment, as well.

One more question for ya …
Why distilled water versus tap water?
You can use any water. Due to where I’m located, we have very hard water, which results in defects in the vessels, spots, etc. So, distilled water being filtered, helps with that. I also have an RO system, that I could use. You can try your tap out and see how they come out 👍🏻

Do you have a video on how to sand and seal the concrete vessels?
Hi Sue! Many people have asked about that, so I will be putting one out soon!

Hi Ginny! I appreciate that, so kind.
I’m assuming you mean Earth Safe? If so, they ship all over the world. 👍🏻🌎
How do you do to put the name of your company in the candle like engraved in the cement?
It’s on the mold itself! Custom molds are an option for some companies. I am changing the company I have used because the quality lacks. Or else I would recommend them. Canadian silicone molds does it and I’m considering switching to them.
What happens if I leave the vessel inside of the mold for ~3 days? So I'm 100% sure its super dry?

Hello! I just use the cement all from Home Depot. It’s a grey color naturally. Once pigment is added, I have no issues with the grey tone.

Clean up question...how do you clean out your tools?
I use isopropyl alcohol with shop paper towels. It’s a messy craft lol, so I do replace them after a good amount of use.
Should they be sealed ? 😊 if yes, what’s the product? Thank you!
Yes. That’s in another video. I use earthsafe sealant! earthsafefinishes.com
How do you smooth out the vessel at the bottom?
I typically don’t smooth the bottom out. But, You can use sand paper or sanding blocks 🙂
@@evenifcandlecompany thank you so much for your videos they have helped me so much keep up the great work and God bless you
I appreciate your kind words! So glad they have helped you. May God bless you! 🤍
@@evenifcandlecompany one last question what do you seal your jars with?
I use Earth Safe Finishes sealant! :) @@TrayanaMoore
Καλησπέρα ❤
Τι υλικά χρησιμοποιείται και τι αναλογίες;
Ευχαριστώ πολύ ❤
Hey! All materials that I use are linked in description below! 🙂
Normal cement or white cement
I get cementall. It’s a natural color
Hey.. how do you reduce or remove efflorescence from the product
I believe you asked this question in my other concrete vessel video. I don’t have much experience with that. Never been a problem for me. But one cause could be unfiltered/hard water. But, I’m unsure of your circumstances. Other resources I’m sure are out there to assist further
@@evenifcandlecompany thank you so much.. I ll try with distilled water
Would you tell me what color of pigment you used?
I am going to be putting a video out on Friday or Saturday about pigments. Stay tuned!
I tried, but after few minutes water was floating on the top.... I used normal water
I’ve never had water float at the top before, so I’m not sure why that occurred. Maybe it’s due to you not using distilled water, or possibly using too much water and not mixing well enough.
why distilled water??
In my experience, it causes spots if you use non filtered water. But see how it works for you first, from your tap. It could be totally fine where you live.
