âĪ the ending is so me!! Another great vid! Thx!
Thank you
So informative!!! That last part about fear hit home with me! I have been so scared to put out my candles, because they may mushroom a little or not burn like I think it should! Iâm going to take your advise and step out and feel the fear but still do it! Itâs holding me back! Thanks for the vid!
Hi Chancer. Iâm so happy for you. Yes just go for it. Please keep in touch and let me know how it goes. ð
Great Advice. Fear holds too many people back; I certainly relate. Ciao
So true!
Awesome video!
I have learned something with every one of your videos. I canât wait for the candle video! Iâm hoping it will include tips on measuring wax precisely. Iâm curious about how much the wax net weight is on the Amazon molds. Then, I need to figure out the weight including my oil. I will be doing a test tomorrow.
The great thing about this platform is sky's the limit when it comes to content so if I miss something this time I can always add to the channel and pick it up. I will make sure to add in wax weight and things like that. Thanks for the great comment.
Thanks Jai, I REALLY needed to hear that motivation at the end. âĨïļ
Thank you Tianna. I am so happy it helped to motivate you. We all need motivation and adding it to the video, for me, was a no brainer.
Please consider subscribing if you enjoy my work. â tinyurl.com/2p9e5aph
Why you only have 4.1k views? You're such a good source of info and very really entertaining. Who doesn't love Fun Learning? This video needs more views!!!
That is very kind of you... However I am appreciative nonetheless.
Do you guys sell the jars that have small air bubbles or small imperfections? I also get some with odd discoloration on my lids. Anyone could give me some tips Thanks in advance.
Great video. If a person was to use these for flowerpots, would sealing be a must? Does the pigment continue to leak out and stain your hands if you touch it? Thanks
Yes you should seal your flowerpots. The water will escape leaving unsightly marks. Also, I have found that some pigments leave residue and others don't. I would think if you washed your vessels that would help but I am not sure as I have always sealed the outside too.
Hey Jai. Do vessels with white cement mixture also harden with time? Do they need to be soaked in water like cementall? As I feel the plaster would desolve in water. Thx and love ur videos
Yes as they cure they harden more. I never soak my Cement All vessels but when I make cement, plaster and sand vessels I soak those for 24 hours. Hope that helps.
@@upvibecandle thank you for the reply, I will try that
mom decides to buy the mask respirator well didn't use it yet....keep up the good work Jai the tiger!
Thanks. Gotta have the respirator. ð
Hi Jai! Do you think laying the jars in direct sunlight will help speed up curing? Again, thanks for your videos. Cheers.
No. You actually don't want to speed up the curing process. Direct sunlight causes water to evaporate from the concrete prematurely. As a result, concrete will not have enough time (and water) to strengthen its structure before it dries out. And once it has dried out, it will experience shrinkage and cracking. Hence why some soak their vessels. Hope that helps.
@@upvibecandle Thanks for the reply, Jai. Love this vid, especially your bonus tip.
I agree that you do not want to speed up curing. All concrete is the same in this regard, but here are the instructions from the Cement All box.
_CURING: Water cure all CEMENT ALL installations by keeping exposed surfaces wet for a minimum of 1 hour. Begin curing after the material starts to harden and before the surface starts to lose its moist sheen. The objective of water curing is to maintain the moist sheen on the entire surface until the product has achieved sufficient strength._
The easiest way to make it wet is to demold carefully and place the jars into a bucket of water. One hour is a ridiculously short water cure time. One day is minimum. One week is so much better, and one month is ideal. However, if you have to sand the bottom, do the sanding immediately when you demold. Concrete can be carved/sanded much more easily when it is green than after it has fully cured. After it is sanded, put it into the water.
Can you use liquid colour if yes ,how we can Calculate, I believe is different than powder pigment..ðŽ
Yes. Just add your bowl with your mixture with water in it and place it on a scale. Then add until you reach the desired weight.
I keep getting these small white spots to my vessels. Do you have any idea what might be causing this. I use cement all and distilled water with 4 to 1 ratio.
Sounds like efflorescence. Lower your water amount slightly and check humidity.
I made black vessels with the cement all formula, using distilled water and direct colors concrete pigment. After 24 hours they went from very black to having grey spots and smudges. These have not been in a water bath. I am in Michigan and it is really wet out. Any thoughts? Is it possible the beautiful black will restore itself? I'm pretty upset about it. the color didn't change until after I poured another one. I leave them overnight then demold. When I demolded the second one was when I saw the first one changed so much.
It most likely changed because it dried. Direct colors isn't good for black vessels in my opinion. Try globmarble. You can find the link on my site. theupvibe.com/amazon-storefront/
@@upvibecandle well bummer. Thanks for the info, I'll check em out.
