There’s no way I can ever do this in my kitchen! Your kitchen is beautiful. You make me laugh so much, thank you
Haha. That’s why I moved down to the basement. lol
Not everyone can teach. You have the touch so I hope you keep at it. Two hints: 1)skip the math by using the tare function on your scale to zero out the weight of the bowl and 2) use an exacto knife to cut that bottom lip of your mold off so you don't have to struggle trying to get over it when it's time to de-mold.
You are so right. Thanks for the great tips. Love it.
I absolutely love your videos. I am starting to make my own concrete jars and your videos are teaching me so much. Thank you.
You are very welcome. If you want to fast track your learning check out th-cam.com/video/eKemvMD-C24/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pTZyQb-0VyKkps4N
Thank you so much ! This was awesome . I have been buying vessels for 20 yrs but after the shortages dude to the pandemic I want to be able to make them. Can’t wait to try your formula.
Excellent. Thanks for the compliment. I have a ton of valuable information on the Up Vibe channel. Hopefully you will check it out.
This is awesome! The humor and the education combined. Love it!! I would consider swapping out the white t-shirt but you already know that. 😁 Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I am looking to print UpVibe shirts and aprons. 😊
I like your black vessel. It turned out nice! Thanks for sharing. Your videos are entertaining and educational!!!
I give you credit for not asking Alexa first
Thanks for the video. I suggest keeping your pigment in a mason jar or other container so you don’t have to deal with that bag. I can’t wait to try out this formula and see what I get.
That is a great point. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for sharing. I want to try and make some concrete vessels for my candles.
You are very welcome. Please let me know how it goes.
I absolutely love your energy and loved this video! Thank you for sharing.
You just made my night. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. 🙏
@@upvibecandle Aw! Good. I can't wait for more.
12:43 😆😆 im lol only because i cant agree more with the math homework comment. Its refreshing and almost rare (🤦🏼♀️)these days to see a YTube creater whos simply real. but i have to say your videos are extremely helpful and exactly what i was looking for to making molds. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you.
This guy is so awesome and so freegin informative
Definitely gonna tray this technique of mixing it together first before adding the water usually I mix the cement first with water then add the pigment but I notice after it dries I see tan spots from the cement
Yes mix first. Hopefully that solves the problem.
They look Great!!! Good job 👍🏼
Thank you
Your videos are so so helpful. Thank you for sharing. Could you do a deep color red/terracotta vessel, and a deep rich teal/sea glass color? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the compliment. Those ideas are wonderful. I am going to do a red marble effect soon and a video all about various sealants and molds... Once I am through with those I will look into doing more vessel videos.
You are a star ⭐️
So funny and really helpful. Thanks from UK
Thanks so much. ❤️
I have quite the collection of dry pigments. I can say from my personal experience, I’m always better off just repacking dry pigments from bags into plastic jars with lids. I then tape the manufacturers label to the jar that is it’s new home. I’m done with fine pigment powders in thin baggies.
BTW you got lucky with the black pigment as it is most likely magnetite or black iron oxide. Not super staining. Now the ultramarine blues and most of the organic paint making pigments are FAR worse. I won’t even bring this into my house! They stay locked up and used in storage shed!
Agreed. My pigments are in glass jars as well. The dollar store is great for those.
Nice. I felt like I was back in grade school again.
Hopefully it was more fun 🤩
Love the videos!!! Can you do one on sealing and curing them.
Aww. Thanks. I am in the process of a sealing video.
Oh, my word! I have asthma & for some reason it’s been terrible. I was finally able to make an appt. I still have asthma, but I was diagnosed with VCD too. I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Wow!!! I hope you find healing fast. It took me about 6 months to finally see the other side of it.
@@upvibecandle 6 months is a long time! I’m taking advair and a nasal inhaler.
@@upvibecandle 6 months is a long time! I’m taking advair and a nasal inhaler. Too much info?
@@hilaryquinn8673 Yes 6 months is a long time but I was also dealing with gastritis. Once I changed my diet and did my exercises consistently I saw a change. Hang in there... sometimes healing takes time.
Hi
Only cement or mix whit sand
Hi Jai! Thanks for this video! I used Cement All and black pigment from Direct Colors...every time the vessel comes out charcoal! Yours is beautiful & black. Have you used the pigment from Direct Colors? I'm just curious if the brand you use is more concentrated & that is why your vessel is so dark.
You are very welcome. I have not used DC but I just finished a video on a super black vessel with a lid and it will be out this week.
Hi, in your video at 16:24 right before you added the water you were at 382 grams then the number changed to 421 grams before adding the water is it because the spatula was left in the mix that the weight increased? Thanks in advance.
Exactly. I haven’t seen that video in a year so I had to watch it again. 😁
Hi Jai,
I love this video it’s extremely helpful for concrete vessels, but I use Hydrostone. I was wondering if you could show how to create a black Hydrostone vessel. I have tried using the Globmarble pigment in the darkest black which works but it leaves my fingers littered in black dust when I remove the vessel from the silicon mold. I’ve even brought the pigment down to 3% and let the vessel dry for a week and still black dust on the surface of the vessel. Please help.
You must seal it to completely get rid of the residue. Any of these ESF sealants will do.

@@upvibecandle thank you Jai for such a quick response! I do have the earth safe finishes preserver/sealer, but I guess I can get the matte dip for Hydrostone for a matte finish. I like my vessels matte
Hi, and help, please. I purchased the black globmarble colorant and used less than the recommended amount in my CementAll cast. Upon demolding and also after curing more than 2 weeks, black coloring comes off A LOT on my hands, rags, etc. Have you experienced this? Yesterday I used the Eco Advance, 4 dips and wipe downs within 30 minutes. Still shedding black. 🤷♀️
There is always a little residual pigment from the Supra Black pigment but after you seal it there should be none. Watch this video here th-cam.com/video/qzVQfMhclkM/w-d-xo.html to see how to use pigment correctly and then watch this video here paying close attention to the Eco Advance section. th-cam.com/video/b6w9yE3s7Z4/w-d-xo.html
I am wondering about painting, other than the pigments? What are your thoughts? What type of paint would you use? You seal after the paint?
Have you seen my Santa Claus or Pumpkin video? I painted both with acrylic paint and then sealed them. Go to anyone of my videos and read the description you will find the paint I use.
@@upvibecandle thank you, I will look for it!🩷
How can I get my mold back to the round shap
Use a mold support.
Hi jai have you ever dealt with vessels that don't get black enough? Mine are coming out dark grey and I'm wondering if it's bc I'm using too much water or too little pigment or too much pigment
Use this pigment for a deep black. amzn.to/3toGyAF
@@upvibecandleI have that exact one, but it's not working 😢
Oh no! That is weird. What is your formula?@@shannonleturtle
Black pigment #2 is not available. Which one did you use in your video, it doesn’t say?
Try this amzn.to/3toGyAF
I'm super curious why you didn't tare your scale with the mixing bowl on it and measure from zero?
It was the beginning days of the journey.
Do you use only a cement or concrete mix, like cement/sand 3/1 ?
I use Cement All
@@upvibecandle yeah I know :) , but if I don't have Cement All, what is top pick?
@@vizardo1 th-cam.com/video/_b3s4_0tmak/w-d-xo.html
@@upvibecandle thank you!
The actual process starts at about 13.00!
I'm new to this and was wondering.... if the mixture should be 4:1 shouldn't the water be 65 grams? Also, In a different video didn't you use 280 grams of concrete and 70 grams of water for the same vessel? Is the difference due to adding color?
As you progress through the videos you will see slight adjustments as I evolve. I am forever tweaking and making things better. Hope that helps.
Thanks for responding. I does help. I think that I'm close to a decent formula thanks to your videos!! Thanks for sharing.
@@jeanninejohnson9843Excellent. Glad I could be of help.
why is the amount of cement used different between the black concrete jars, 240 grams and the white, 255 grams?
I upped my formula as it was to challenging to get all the contents out each time. As artists we are always growing.
@@upvibecandle thank you 😊
I thought the max in pigment was 5%, 20 grams is more like 9%, have you found any issue with going with 9% in pigment?
The max load is 5% but if you are making decorative pieces you can increase that number.
What’s the weight of the finished jar?
314 grams right after demolding and 291 grams cured.
Why not use black cement?
Please send me a link to pure black cement. Thanks.
and what is he pigment ? Fe2O3?
amzn.to/3toGyAF
What is the % of pigment? You use 20gr but my vessels require more cement so wondering what the proper equation would be? Cheers
No more than 5% of your cement mixture.
@UP Vibe Candle shoot haha, it wasn't very black so I just tried 10%
@@briannethomassen215 Are you using Globmarble? I use 3% sometimes and that is super black. 10% is going to weaken the integrity of the vessel. Test it... It might still be ok but I wouldn't do that long term.
@UP Vibe Candle it's my first time with pigment so I started small and got a 5oz bag from Amazon. I'm using quickrete cement, waiting till I can order some cementall. The quickrete is very grey so I think the pigment is having a hard time getting a black
@@briannethomassen215 Quikrete is tough so hopefully when you get CA you will do much better. Let me know how it goes.
Good video, but you really shouldn't speak to people as if they are 4 years old. I'm sure 4 years olds won't be mixing concrete.
Your comment has no merit and is extremely pointless. If you continue to try to offend me I will block you from my channel.
