Fair do's - you are really prepared to carry out the experiments that I'd like to do and saved me the trouble of doing them! You have more than earned my subscription. Excellent content.
really good to know that acrylic paint works, especially for the hobbyists that dont have alot of money to set aside for all the different pigment colors.
I love these experimental videos seeing the different results. My fav colour is the mica powder, that muted sea glass colour is just gorgeous. Great outcome. They are still all so pretty even if some didn’t turn out as vibrant as you expected. I actually love the muted ones best but still Love them all xx
Heyyyyyyy girl .. omg yes Sea Glass ... that is the colour for sure ! I agree I love it ! and I love the muted colours way better too ... but they can be achieved with a single drop of Jesmonite Pigment ... You have an Australian stockist by the way if you did wanna try this stuff :) yayyyy
Great Series of Video's Claire, my daughter brought me some jesmonite last Christmas and not Touched it, but now have a project I want to try with it. Just one question I may have missed answered, what is it like at deep pours?
Yes for acrylic paint!!! I've seen people use it, but it looked like they were using loads of paint so I thought it would mess with curing but you've shown that you can totally use it and it works!!! Well done, Claire! Can't wait to test it myself xD. x
I thank you very much for this but it made me sad. Jesmonite pigments are the best but also so expensive, I was really looking forward for a cheeper alternative I guess there’s really none that will give you the same bright color using only a few drops
Ahhhh thankyou so much xxx yes they last a long time though ... you can also get smaller bottles on Ebay or Etsy and you can get small tubs from Resin8
Hey Clare, thanks so much for this amazing video, but have you tried chalk paint in Jesmonite? How does it work, as it’s water based colour, should gel in well.
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
Heyyyyyy lovely ... so sorry I have never used acrylic paint for marbling ... but it will dry out eventually ... give it some more time. Acrylic paint will dry ... its just maybe sticky on de mould x
What a useful video! Thank you for this Claire. I have some Jesmonite on its way to me. I want to do an experiment to compare it to something else I found which is cheaper, fingers crossed! If I do a video I will of course give you a shout out because you are the one who inspired me. You are ACE!
Heyyyyyyyy Louise omg you have some on the way ? You will absolutely LOVE IT !! I cannot wait to watch xx ❤❤❤ I am chuffed to bits that I have inspired you ... means a lot thank you xx
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!
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.⭐️
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
I want to try just when I so bad but I know that the pigment is so expensive to get. It's good to know that acrylic paint will work because I got lots of that but it's only pastels that's probably not going to be what I want. I wonder if you got pure colour pigments if they would work. I'm guessing they would. The type that you buy to mix your own paints. I'm going to have to save up, bite the bullet and get it
Thank you for experimenting on the colors. I am starting this soon and wanted some other choices for colors. Here in India jesmonite pigments are expensive 😬😬😬
Heyyyy Rana ... you have a Jesmonite stockist in British Columbia but sadly they are currently out of stock ! I am hoping they put in a bigger order next time as it is flying off the shelves x
Heyyyy Laura .. thanks so much oooooo I don't know 😍😍 something to try out ... my fear would be it would permanently stick to the mould .... but I am willing to give it a go x
heyyyy Annelle yes you can .. many have. I have done a video on glitter .. but not yet done sea shells or sea glass or wood. Sea Glass has been done by others and looks beautiful xx
This video is a game changer. You can work with pretty much any of these colors if jesmonite pigment is not available or on hand. Very nice video. Love it 😊

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 ?

Heyyyyy lovely ... I did a video making all 3 ... but didn't do a durability test... loads of people in the comments said they use plaster and it's just not as strong at all ❤
Loved it. I just started with jesomite today and was wondering if i can use acrylic , alcohol ink and mica powder. So happy that i can use acrylic in it
I know this is video is 2 years old but it has helped me heaps. I just got myself some resincrete and then faceplamed when i remembered that i dont have any waterbased pigment to colour the resincrete. I do however have acrylic paint so for a beginner that is going to help heaps and save me money

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.
Very interesting experiment. The acrylic paint made a very pretty color. It looks like it would take a lot of the alcohol ink or mica powder or pigment paste to get a good color. Sure would be nice if they worked. Thanks for this video!
Just watched again on replay I managed to watch a little of the live sorry Clair very informative video Claire well done loved the colours well the ones that worked thank you Claire for sharing xx
If it has all dried then I just shake it out the cups ... and wash them in warm soapy water ... If its still wet then I wash immediately in bucket of water ... let it all settle at the bottom and pour water out through Sieve
As someone who wants to do their first Jesmonite project, I appreciate you saying the measurements required for this mould! That way I can make sure I have enough materials for my friends and I. I'll be buying the moulds from your link. Thanks!
Love this experiment! My first experiment is using acrylic with jesmonite, the colour turns out great but there'll be tiny white spots for some colours i used. i have no idea the acrylic itself can be mixed with jesmonite straight away! i usually mixed it with some water to dilute the colour first but turns out there'll be more bubbles instead. Thank you for sharing this, Claire! xx
Hi Claire, sorry I missed the live premiere. You are a legend doing this experiment! I was about to try these myself and now I don’t have to. You are brilliant just totally brilliant, thank you.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.
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 ❤❤
Dear i have a question I'm planning to buy set of Acrylic color paints for my jesmonite works just need to know before I purchase dose it affect the texture of the jesmonite after drying I mean the final finished work??? Or no? As per ur experience with testing them. Appreciate ur kind reply.
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.
@@agostinaalassia2332 heyyyyyy lovely ❤❤ that sounds like so much fun .. thanks so much for letting me know ❤❤ Maybe acrylic paint would work with your Eco resin too x
love the colour created by the acrylic blue!!! Love the channel - you've won a new subscriber :) Just wondering, who do you subscribe to on TH-cam? Who's your inspiration?
Heyyy Joe .. thanks so much ! that is amazing ! Oh I subscribe to so many .. My absolute favourite You Tuber is Jonna Jinton ... but lately I have been obsessing over van life videos ..Yvonne Antoinette and Hannah Lee Duggan ( I want her life) haaaaa haaaaa My favourite DIY'er is Live it Like Lisa in Australia she is a gem ! love her to pieces x Weirdly, I dont watch many resin videos .. but I do support Toonpish Crafts, the crafting Nook, Petra Gerbracht and a few more
Love this video, so useful! I am trying to switch from epoxy to Jesmonite for most of my product, but I still have lots of mica powder and alcohol ink and I was wondering if it was safe to use. Thanks to you now I know I can use them somehow 😄
I think mica powder works just fine. It depends on the color you choose. The blue you have chosen is not that strong.. Is definitely not such a deep blue as the jasmonite pigment.
Oh lovely, thanks for the quick reply Claire, I wasn't sure because it's oil based, thought they might not cure, I'll try it out. I LOVE your channel and videos, all the way from South Africa 😁🌍💜
So the upshot is that you CAN use any pigment but if you want the most vibrant colour you go with jesmonite pigment. Did your mica powder have a shimmer? And did that shimmer show up in the cured tray?
Heyyyy Colette .. yes basically you can but not worth it. You would need 10 X the amount of Mica powder used here to actually give a shimmer. I have used Mica Powder in a previous video and it was probably a Tablespoon worth ... the colour was bright and had a shimer .. but the MICA wasnt cheap .. so I still wouldn't do it again cost wise .. x I definitely would never use Resin pigment again absolutely not worth the cost in materials x
Very helpful thanks! Can you use the jesmonite directly in a silicone mould before pouring the jesmonite paste over it? I have a giraffe mould & want to try doing the patterns in various yellows, brown & white. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't word that properly, what I should have said is can I put the jesmonite pigment directly in the mould to make up the pattern & then pour the jesmonite mix over that into the mould. Anyway, I tried & it picked up some of the pigment & the rest stained the mould. 🙈 So you learn 🤣🤣 Thanks for your reply Claire, love your videos!
@@brionyholloway8454 ohhhhh .. sorry 🙈🙈 no you cannot pour the pigment directly in the mould it will be very sticky like a glue when you de mould. I mean ... you can it .. but the oigment on its own doesn't act good
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you, next time I'll just pour white jesmonite & then paint the brown & mustard yellow patterns once cured. Have a great day Claire!
I am glad to know I can use acrylic pains because I have gazillions of diffrent colors from other craft projects. Now they won't go to waste 😊

Beautiful experiment!! Thrilled that we can use acrylic paints with jesmonite ! Lovely 😊
amazing so glad you found it helpful xx
cant u use acjhole ink? wont it show up
alcohol ink does not show up so well no x
Another great experiment Claire!!! Thank you!! 💙💙
Thanks so much Kerry ❤❤❤
Thanks for the testing, Claire! 🌷
I think mica powder works just fine. It depends on the color you choose. The blue you have chosen is not that strong.. Is definitely not such a deep blue as the jasmonite pigment.
Yesss youre so right .... Mica works just fine .. I have done whole projects using it. 😍😍😍 it makes beautiful shades
Very Very interesting video
Thanks Bela 🙌🙌😁
Has anyone tried Acrylic Pour Paint in Jesmonite?
I believe they have yes ... I've seen something but not sure where and by who 🙈🙈🤣 I for sure haven't x
Oh lovely, thanks for the quick reply Claire, I wasn't sure because it's oil based, thought they might not cure, I'll try it out.
I LOVE your channel and videos, all the way from South Africa 😁🌍💜
Can I ask how much you're mixing for this mold? I tried 200:80 and it didn't seem to quite fill the mold but can't find any other info out there
hey Charli.... for this mould it is 100g liquid and 250g powder x
So the upshot is that you CAN use any pigment but if you want the most vibrant colour you go with jesmonite pigment.
Did your mica powder have a shimmer? And did that shimmer show up in the cured tray?
Heyyyy Colette .. yes basically you can but not worth it. You would need 10 X the amount of Mica powder used here to actually give a shimmer. I have used Mica Powder in a previous video and it was probably a Tablespoon worth ... the colour was bright and had a shimer .. but the MICA wasnt cheap .. so I still wouldn't do it again cost wise .. x I definitely would never use Resin pigment again absolutely not worth the cost in materials x
how about wall paint? can use it?
hey lovely .. I do not know sorry.
Very helpful thanks! Can you use the jesmonite directly in a silicone mould before pouring the jesmonite paste over it? I have a giraffe mould & want to try doing the patterns in various yellows, brown & white. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Briony .. yes you can fill the mould with jes... and paint it after. With Acrylic Paint
Sorry, I didn't word that properly, what I should have said is can I put the jesmonite pigment directly in the mould to make up the pattern & then pour the jesmonite mix over that into the mould. Anyway, I tried & it picked up some of the pigment & the rest stained the mould. 🙈 So you learn 🤣🤣 Thanks for your reply Claire, love your videos!
@@brionyholloway8454 ohhhhh .. sorry 🙈🙈 no you cannot pour the pigment directly in the mould it will be very sticky like a glue when you de mould. I mean ... you can it .. but the oigment on its own doesn't act good
@@brionyholloway8454 and I've just realised you've tried it lol sorry I started typing way too fast.
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you, next time I'll just pour white jesmonite & then paint the brown & mustard yellow patterns once cured. Have a great day Claire!
have you tryed painting the molds with mica powder before pouring the jasmonite.
i wonder if it would act like resin and bind of just come off
Hi Derek, yes I have done a couple videos on this x it works well .. not 100% like resin
Loved all of them 😍
Thank you Nina ❤❤ and thanks for the colour name 🤣🤣
