This was really helpful. I've been using a quick-setting cement that is a 3:1 mix to water ratio, so I applied the maths you used for Hydrostone and I got almost the exact amount I needed, plus a tiny bit more. So much better than my previous method of underestimating and rushing to mix up some more before the rest of it set - thank you!
I find that working in cups is easier. For instance one cup of cement usually fills most jar molds and trays. I usually have some left overs and when I do I throw it into my smaller molds. I never really waste product.
Aha! So that's why you can spin so graciously! 😊 Thank you for the support and information on how to calculate the mixes. Very helpful as usual. Much appreciated!
I have to definitely say, I've been doing candles on & off since '14 and when i needed more info from TH-cam, i normally skimmed thru the videos because the host was annoying in 1 way or another and not as knowledgeable like you. I believe I watch at least 5 or more in the past week and i have yet skimmed thru any of your videos. I love the fact you go through everything to the last possible detail unlike the younger "influencers". U actually have my full attention and you're hilarious to watch as well. I hope you eventually make an Eco Resin type of candle jar. That's what I'm starting with. 10:3 ratio
Awww. That is truly one of the sweetest things I’ve read thus far in my YT journey. I have a question for you. When you say younger influencers does that mean I’m old? 😎
You are a genius. I tried your formula for hydrostone today. There was no wastage and perfect ratio..thanks a lot. I am switching to hydrostone for candles after seeing your other video..really appreciate you making it easy for all of us.
I took time and notes and Im going to test my Hydrostone again. But I am curious for the Cement All part, may I ask why (WF X2) ? Where does the 2 come from? I genuinely am not the best with math so I thank you for not teasing lol
I would never tease someone for not knowing something I know. Math can be a very tough subject, and I understand that some people aren't fans of it. With that said, after testing for a significant amount of time, I discovered that the density of water is much lower than that of a mixture of CA or mixture of Hy. By doubling the number, you mimic the density of either mixture. Hope that helps.
My mold holds 936 grams water. (936 x 2) x86% = 1610 CA CA x 25% = water 402 grams water roughly All of that equals soup. I added roughly three more cups of cementall. I am molding stones so I do not want too much water and compromise strength, but I need to have it be thin enough for bubbles to get bounced out. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Hi... Most Canadians and US Americans use similar products. How do I know this? Because I have gathered data across multiple communities to back that up. In addition, I have a list of products most often used from various countries (including Canada) that will help you out even more. Lastly... any help you need along the way... I am there. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Easy way to work out any container. 1st find out density of compound. 2nd find water/compound ratio. 3rd The weight of water your container holds. Method: 1. Water x density = Plaster 2. Plaster x Water Ratio% = Water. I haven't used Hydrostone as if yet so I'll use your weights as an example. In your calculation you are using the following Density 1.62. Ratio 33/100 Water weight 710g Method 1. 710g x 1.62= 1150.2g 2. 1150.02 x 33% = 379.5g Below are a few figures Crystacal R : density 1.67, W/P ratio 35/100 Herculite 2 : density 1.65, W/P ratio 42/100 If you know the relative density and the W/P ratio the formula works for all compounds.
A lot of people just straight-up hate math or simply being bad at it. Trying to sell them on adding steps like figuring out product density is like asking someone who despises cooking to host a dinner party-not going to happen.
So if i use snowcrete which is a 2:1 ratio (1 being water) i would times my weight x2 x 80% then that figure by 50% to get the water ? Sorry i have dyscalculia and cant always equate the methods
You might have to adjust the 80%. Maybe 79 or 78 but start at 80 and if you feel you have to much then adjust. In my opinion it's good to have a bit extra just in case... However, your interpretation looks right.

That's what's up!!! Glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know.

I forgot I did that last year in one of my videos.
Just started making concrete hydro stone vessels…so glad I found you ❤

Nope. I just feel common sense is gone after the Millennial generation. Also, thank u for replying ❤

Thank you for the lovely comment and I am very happy to hear you had no leftover waste.
I’m so glad I came across this video! I’m thinking about switching from cement to hydrostone and I’m happy to have this formula. Thanks so much!!
On the hydro journey and so grateful i found you. Love your energy 😊
Thank you for your lovely message.
The video I've been waiting for! Thanks 🙏
Love your channel so informative and entertaining 😁
Thank you!
super useful thank you!
Awesome! Thanks!

If you want to double the amount for more molds how do you do that???
how to calculate if you use gypsum ? cuz this is working with cement only
Hi Jai, I live in Canada and I’m interested in your course. Is it geared mainly towards the United States for supplies etc.?

Is the formula for Hydrocal the same as Hydrostone?
No. Here is a video that breaks down the formula for Hydrocal. th-cam.com/video/JkxxuDSQj2w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QBY1quiheStOoPIH
@@upvibecandle thank you so much! 🥰
Easy way to work out any container.
1st find out density of compound.
2nd find water/compound ratio.
3rd The weight of water your container holds.
Method:
1. Water x density = Plaster
2. Plaster x Water Ratio% = Water.
I haven't used Hydrostone as if yet so I'll use your weights as an example. In your calculation you are using the following
Density 1.62.
Ratio 33/100
Water weight 710g
Method
1. 710g x 1.62= 1150.2g
2. 1150.02 x 33% = 379.5g
Below are a few figures
Crystacal R : density 1.67, W/P ratio 35/100
Herculite 2 : density 1.65, W/P ratio 42/100
If you know the relative density and the W/P ratio the formula works for all compounds.
A lot of people just straight-up hate math or simply being bad at it. Trying to sell them on adding steps like figuring out product density is like asking someone who despises cooking to host a dinner party-not going to happen.
I totally get what you are saying, probably my autism at play. Love your channel.
So if i use snowcrete which is a 2:1 ratio (1 being water) i would times my weight x2 x 80% then that figure by 50% to get the water ?

@@upvibecandle thank you so much! My understanding is always a bit shaky maths wise 🇬🇧💚
I need to see you dance now 😊
I retired before the TH-cam era but here I am all in silver dancing with my ex. The video is from 2000. th-cam.com/video/FTKONLIWuOU/w-d-xo.html.
