Hi, I am also new and learning and south african:) apparently you shouldn't let your products sit in molds longer than 25 mins or it starts to sweat. When drying put them on a cake rack to let air circulate fully and ratio is 1 to 2.5. Hope that helps:)
Hey Gill! Thanks for the info and compliment! Will definitely be trying that! I’ll be uploading another Jesmonite video soon and try your recommendations… super excited!
Thanks for that tip, just bought my stuff and woulda left it over night... little stressful ant small parts snap too easy if not cured properly...🥲... also South African, loved when i noticed the accent lol... feel like we're few and far between on here😅
It's actually no longer than 30mins but yes get it out of the mould at 25mins to avoid sweating... I have no experience but have watched another youtuber on jesmonite I'm waiting for my starter kit to arrive so I can try it out myself,
OMG my first time using jesmonite I too ended up messing up a bunch of it and still sometimes do mess up with it but glad to get better at it. Love this video, these came out great!
This was so helpful and honest! I’ve just started working with Jesmonite so the constant goof ups are real😂. I’d love to know if the decals stayed and didn’t easily come off?
Which sealer do you mean. Have you made any pots if so why do they make plant pot mold if you can’t use them with water, and the soap dishes I’ve made will they be ok
It’s so good to have a resin newbie who’s making the same mistakes as me, and it’s quiet an expensive hobby. Do you save all your mistakes and use them for terrazzo. What do you use to seal them
Thank you Milla! The flowers are decals. I’ll be releasing a video soon on making decals. Thanks so much for watching 🤗 You can buy them from me (if you’re in South Africa) or you can get them on Etsy
hi there. I think you mentioned difficulty with the UV resin? If so it's possible it didn't cure because it needs uv light to penetrate it. So generally it's best to use a see through mould when using uv resin. Hope this helps. Love the contrast with the blue and black. Really classy looking x
Maybe the reaction between the wet jesmonite and the uv resin could react. Maybe next time have to wait at least 7 days before using uv on it. Normal resin I think wouldn't have minded. It may have made a watermark. The same as what it does when the humidity is too high. Love the black.
@@anitaassad4499 The actual Jesmonite is manufactured in the UK. But in South Africa we have a similar product that’s called Material One from AMT composites. I got my supplies from Bijoux Accessories! She’s absolutely amazing and I loved her products… The finish is gorgeous ✨
@@CaylinFourie Jesmonite is a brand of eco resin that is not available in SA, in SA we have alternative such as ACC100 and Material one, both are also eco resins ,so I'm pretty sure yours is to, it's just not the brand Jesmonite ...
Hi Sherry! These pigments are specifically made for acrylic resin. I don’t know the exact name of the pigment to be honest. I bought it from a local craft supplier. These pigments I believe are quite concentrated, so you really don’t need much to get the colour you need.
@@CaylinFourie Standard paint pigment works perfectly. Just check that is it a water based paint pigment (although Oh so resin pigment prices are very reasonable)
Hi Hizia 👋🏼 I will link everything in the description of the next video. I’ve used acrylic resin and mineral powder bought from our local shop Bijoux Accessories.
So pretty! Well done

All are amazing work.

Lol 😅 Glad I wasn’t the only one who messed up. Excited to experiment more with it, it’s a fun medium to work with. Thank you 🤍

They have stayed on… I would recommend sealing it with beeswax or a Matt coated spray
Also there is a sealer specifically for jesmonite

I use Krylon sprays to seal everything. The scrap pieces yes, I use for terrazzo 😁
Kote products have all the products to make perfect items. Sealers, powder and resin.
I love the color and the contrast between black and turquoise. What is this flower tattoo? Where can I get such tattoos? LOVE the video!
Thank you Milla!
The flowers are decals. I’ll be releasing a video soon on making decals. Thanks so much for watching 🤗 You can buy them from me (if you’re in South Africa) or you can get them on Etsy
Hi what was the bits called you put into the last ones please
Terrazzo?

Did you let it fully cure for 30 days before you used the uv resin on it?
@@neeltjieopperman1254 No, I let it cure for about 45 minutes

@@neeltjieopperman1254 That makes sense! Thank you!
Think you need to send your white jesmonite pieces so that the black shows through also you might consider lacquering them
Thanks for the video, i use Gypsunite from Kote Products which is freely available in South Africa. A brilliant product.
Thank you for this 🙏🏻
How long does jesomite take to cure fully?
Hey Anita! About an hour 🙂
@@CaylinFourie wow. That's quick. Where can one buy jesomite and pricing Please?

@@CaylinFourie thanks you.
@@CaylinFourie To harden 45 min. To cure - 24 hours. After 48 hours you can barely get a drill through it. Awesome stuff.
I see some people mixing both iron oxide or black mica powder AND the liquid pigment. have you tried that?
I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure you could… would give a richer colour
Hi where did u get the transfers from?
Hey I made them myself using my cameo 4 🌻
How did you seal your flowers on the Jesmonite?
Hey, I have a video where I try out 2 different sealants. But I mainly use Krylon sealant sprays
Same with me ma'am...I am also allergic to resin...
Hi
Please how did you make that rose and with what paper
I made it with my cameo 4
@@CaylinFourie thank you lovely 💙
Did you purchase the Jesmonite in SA or did you use a alternative ?
Hi Chevaugn. It’s not actually a Jesmonite, it’s an alternative. But the supplier I buy from has not specified exactly what material it is.
@@CaylinFourie Jesmonite is a brand of eco resin that is not available in SA, in SA we have alternative such as ACC100 and Material one, both are also eco resins ,so I'm pretty sure yours is to, it's just not the brand Jesmonite ...
What black pigment did you use? It is such a deep colour but it looked like you only used a small amount of pigment.

Wow!!!!!😊
Tip: Measure your powder in another container and slowly add it into your liquid - less bubbles and less chance of lumps.
Starting as well, but now I am confused, I thought it was 1 to 2.5 ratio :-o
Hey! Sorry for the confusion! I’m using an alternative, which I only figured out after making the video 😂 For AC100 it’s a 1 to 2:5 ratio
@@CaylinFourie ha ha ok that makes sense, thank you 😂
this thing is basically chalk, maybe chalk plus glue
What are the materials used? please
Hi Hizia 👋🏼 I will link everything in the description of the next video. I’ve used acrylic resin and mineral powder bought from our local shop Bijoux Accessories.
It’s so beautiful 🥰
Can you share a link to these flower stickers?
