Thanks for all the amazing tips and for showing us your process! I'm wondering how do you estimate how much to mix for a particular mold? Also, are there any steps that you need to wait several hours to do? Like sanding or sealing

Can we use a silicone mold with jesmonite and then go back to using it for resin or will the jesmonite dull the mold?

Hi just found your channel 😃 can you use jesomite trays and containers as a soap dish, plant pot and candle holder Also should you use some sort of varnish on it if you need the items to be hardier Thank you so much and greetings from 🇬🇧😃🌻

Great information thank you ❤️

I watched the part about combining Jesmonite and epoxy resin twice. I have a lot of terrazzo chips I made with UV resin and tons I made with broken glass. Could I mix those with the Jesmonite?

I use Clark’s slab and stone wax sealant for my jesmonite pieces to seal and it works great 😊

Hii 😊 my jesmonite pieces seem to loose color after sanding, do you have any advice on how to avoid this?

Thank you so much for sharing it helps a lot ✨🖤🤍✨🖤🤍✨👍🏽👋🏽

can you use anything other like rocks or ceramic to make the colored pieces like with terrazzo? or you just can use the jesmenite pigmented pieces?

Should I buy Jesmonite or Barnes Forton MG? Is it the same? What is the difference? Does it work the same? and end products as good?

What liquid to use to seal the jesmonite if you want to use for eating purposes or to display or serving our eatables .

Hi. I've never used jesmonite before but might buy some (I do epoxy resin). Is jesmonite heat proof for hot drinks on coasters?

Is it waterproof? As in can i make pots for plants? If not is there a way that it can be made waterproof??

Does Jesomite pigments have an expiry date?

for the bubles out from your work,my self did try hot gun...😊😊

I enjoyed your video, thank you. I wanted to know about pigments. I have a lot of pigment paste and mica powder that I use with epoxy resin. Can I use the to tint the Jesmonite?

I’ve found that mica powders are fine but the epoxy pigment paste go funny in the jesmontie.

This is a great informative video… I have a question on the 2nd method…. Why did we have to break that pink to pour in the white? Could have poured in part pink and part white in the beginning?

@sherivegasartist

Yes you can definitely do it that way as well. So people like the break look and so prefer to pour 2 colours at the same time.

I never necessarily mixed them together, but incorporating both in the same piece can bring out beautiful designs.

What benefits does it have compared to plaster casting which is white, harmless, very cheap and sounds a lot easier to work with?

This stuff is literally Calcium Sulphate (i.e. plaster of paris) mixed with acrylic resin. It is easier to use in silicone moulds than straight plaster and is much stronger when set. It also offers more options for finishing.

Hi Sheri! Thanks for the great advice. Towards the end of the video you were pointing to the left and were saying about other brands but nothing was up on the screen?

look for an acrylic base sealer in the type of finish that you are after e.g gloss or matt.

You start off with white base, so it’s natural that it comes out pink, because white and red mixed together makes pink. Do not add black. That makes no sense unless you want a dirty pink. Depending on your pigment, you’ll need a very high pigmented red in a large amount to overcome the white. I recently went through all my pigments and found to my surprise that the cheapest one I had, bought on Ali express, was so insanely pigmented it beat all the known brands. I would test out a small batch and different pigments like mica, alcohol ink (there are huge differences there when it comes to pigmentation) and see if you have any thing strong enough to conquer the white. Don’t be afraid to try out anything, most brands say you can only use their pigments and 99,9% of the time it’s a huge lie. I use my pigments for anything and everything that needs color.

2.5 to 1? So 25 grams and 1 gram? (Very beginner here)

JES-MON-ITE!!!! Not Jezzamite.

Why does she keep pronouncing it as Jes-o-mite throughout the video when it is Jes-mo-nite? She even shows the spelling as Jesmonite. Have I been saying it wrong all this time.

@@sherivegasartist Unfortunately I think you are saying it wrong. I lived in Australia for 26 years near Wollongong (Albion Park) and there was a group of us that used this product. No one I know in Australia pronounces it as Jes-o-mite. The break down of the spelling tells you it is said as Jes-mo-nite. It is pronounced the same throughout English speaking countries. The pronunciation however is not to detract from the fantastic things you make or the quality of the work and items. Your tutorials are informative and creative.

Jesmonite not jesomite. Please say it right

I couldn't watch this as you kept calling it jesomite instead of JESMONITE lovely and this was really quite annoying sorry 😢

Jesmonite...please pronounce it correctly.

You lost me when you continued to pronounce it "Jesamite" instead of "Jesmonite".
