Thank you for this video! I’ve been making concrete vessels for almost a year now. I got a new mold to work with and every single time I have a ton of air bubbles at the top of the mold which in return compromises the integrity of the bottom of the vessel. I made some yesterday with the consistency of your mixture and that helped so much, but I still have a good deal of tiny bubbles. Any other suggestions you could throw my way is greatly appreciated.
This was incredibly helpful. I'm a skincare care maker venturing into candles in concrete vessels and I do nothing but work with formulas. It helps with consistency, quality & pricing. Can't wait to watch the pigment video
Of all the concrete vessel videos Ive watched, yours look the smoothest and nicest of all. I took notes and will follow you directions when I get started with mine. Thank you so much, they look amazing!!
You really make Cement-All look like a thoroughly viable production mix. The initial selling points for me were the 1-hour demold time and 9000+ psi compressive strength fully cured but your demonstration really sold me on it. It's a little pricier than the 2500 psi mortar mix I've been working with but delivering better quality at a much higher production volume pretty much balances that and, honestly, it looks like it requires far less post work. I appreciate your video. You just proved to me that a small business doesn't have to sacrifice quality to get by. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and your kind words! Definitely give cement-all a try. I posted this about a year ago and I’m still using it. The consistency of the product is definitely there as well! 🙂
Do you use cement all or a different cement. I ask cause it hear that cement is not strong enough and that concrete is the way. Thanks for any help and I love your intro
Thanks for sharing this video I am a beginner and I will be making candle molds I didn’t notice in one mold that there was cement on the bottom it looked kind of rough but it turned out really nice I will follow your recipe
hello, thanks for this video. Do you answer me some ask : What is type of cement you use ? And How many days does it take for the cement to harden? Thank you so much
That pop is so satisfying that it’s done right. What do you seal them with? I’ll be using or selling mine more so as decor pieces and if ppl who make candles in the future want to purchase from my wholesale that would be awesome.
Do you put your pigment color into the water or the cement all before mixing? Looking forward to your next video! I can't get solid colors down even when using distilled water. lol.
Don't worry! You'll get to eventually. Just keep playing around with it. I do add the pigment right into my already mixed cement/water. I'm going to be recording adding pigment today!
Hello! Here's is the link to my video about sealing my jars 🙂 the link for the product is in the description box. I hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/Q6-jJKJbDjk/w-d-xo.html
Hi! Thank you 😊 I wait about 24 hrs to seal the inside of my jar. The jar itself is so small that it really doesn’t take much for the moisture to leave the jar. However, I do know that over the course of a few days evaporation continues and you can prove this by weighing your jar each day. I should see a difference on the scale. Again, I only seal the inside of my jar so the drying can continue even after I seal it. th-cam.com/video/Q6-jJKJbDjk/w-d-xo.html here’s the link to how I seal my jars if you want to check it out 😊
I def appreciate this video. Today was my first day attempting cement vs hydrostone and the “pancake consistency” becomes a big mess and hard to pour. This consistency def seems more manageable!
I don’t have any of my cement jars/candles listed on my website yet, however, I did have some at vendor show I did and people were very interested! I walked away with a small custom order.
@@BodyandSpaCreationssand and cement makes mortar isn’t it? When you add stones in cement and sand it’s called concrete? I think I did phd in this since I’ve started making these jars 😣 so confusing.
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome!!

I completely agree. I kept finding videos saying "pancake consistency" and that just want helpful enough for me lol.
Thanks for watching!! ❤️

Just add water and cement and hen mix and hen pour in to your mold
You don’t need a degree doing this lol

Thank you for this video. Know I understand why I was getting holes. I’ll try pouring a thinner consistency.
You make it look so easy!!
Do you use cement all or a different cement. I ask cause it hear that cement is not strong enough and that concrete is the way. Thanks for any help and I love your intro
What size of mold are you using? It looks like a 12 oz.
Thanks
The blue vessel is gorgeous
Do you get a lot of fine dust in the air when you add the dry cement? I have asthma & can wear a mask if needed.
I do. I would definitely recommend mixing slowly until all cement is wet and wearing a mask of some sort.
Thank you!! Beautiful. I like percentages and measurements too.
Thanks for sharing this video I am a beginner and I will be making candle molds I didn’t notice in one mold that there was cement on the bottom it looked kind of rough but it turned out really nice I will follow your recipe
What type or brand of cement you’re using?
Any hempcrete formulations?
hello, thanks for this video. Do you answer me some ask :

This was so helpful ! Thank you for sharing 😊

It is!! I use earth safe sealer for my candles and Behr wet look sealer for everything else.
@@TCSR ok thank you, someone in the candle gropu on fb said they use modpodge if its just for decor purposes, I'm not sure about that yet.
Normal cement h ya white cement
This video was everything I needed thank you so much and congrats you’re almost at 1000 subs✨✨✨💓💓
Yay! I’m so glad it helped you! 😊 I love organic growth I’ve been thinking of doing a give away at 1000! 🙌🏾
Will you do a measurement for the lids? I’d love to see that one.
I sure can! I'll be filming tomorrow 😊

Great Video!! What did you seal your jars with, if I may ask?
I use the sealer from earthsafefinishes.com 😊
How many hours/days did it take untill you unmolded ?
I'll usually remove the mold 4 hrs after I pour depending on the size. 😊
Hi! Do you use a gloss or acrylic sealer inside the cement jar prior to pouring the wax?
Hello! Here's is the link to my video about sealing my jars 🙂 the link for the product is in the description box. I hope this helps!

What sort of adjustment would you do if adding color pigment to this ratio, or would it stay the same and just add in the color?
Your measurements will stay the same regardless of the type or amount of pigment 🙂
what kind of cement do you use?
You make things look so difficult . I just pu cement in to a bowl add water mix and poor in my mold
If that works for you, please continue to do that! I prefer not to waste material. 🙃
Hello there, loooove your videos! How long do you let your cement jars cure before adding the sealant? Thank you!
Hi! Thank you 😊

In your experience do you think people buy more concrete candles than glass jar candles?
I don’t have any of my cement jars/candles listed on my website yet, however, I did have some at vendor show I did and people were very interested! I walked away with a small custom order.
That’s amazing. You should definitely add a few to your website and see how it goes 😊
What do you use to seal your jars?
I use a sealer from Earth Safe Finishes. I just posted a video on how I seal my jars th-cam.com/video/Q6-jJKJbDjk/w-d-xo.html 😊
It's cement, not concrete
👍🏾
It’s actually concrete. Just called cement - all. It’s cement mixed with sand/silica which makes it concrete. I used to get confused by the name too.
@@BodyandSpaCreations thank you for clarifying! 😊❤️
