I am glad to know I can use acrylic pains because I have gazillions of diffrent colors from other craft projects. Now they won't go to waste 😊

Wow this saved me so much time and money as a jesomite newbee

really good to know that acrylic paint works, especially for the hobbyists that dont have alot of money to set aside for all the different pigment colors.

Fair do's - you are really prepared to carry out the experiments that I'd like to do and saved me the trouble of doing them! You have more than earned my subscription. Excellent content.

I forgot to write something that the acrylic resin manufacturer in my country told me (maybe it works for Jesmonite too): Chinese ink and water-based inks (such as liquid acrylic) and anhiline for dyeing clothes can also be used as a colorant. I haven't tried it yet but it's worth a try. Here in Argentina pigments are not available in a liquid state and therefore it is very difficult to reproduce an exact color that we are looking for.

Hi Claire, loving your Jesmonite videos. I was wondering if you have ever dusted a mold with mica powders and then added the Jesmonite? I have a lovely large seahorse silicon mold and i want to be able to colour different parts of the mold with mica powders and chameleon micas. Kind regards Tink.

nice experiment. I was curious about this too, and I still wonder if larger amounts of anything would affect the outcome, but as you said, you wouldn't want to use much of expensive products. And I also wonder if the jesmonite pigment would work in regular resins.

Great Series of Video's Claire, my daughter brought me some jesmonite last Christmas and not Touched it, but now have a project I want to try with it. Just one question I may have missed answered, what is it like at deep pours?

Hey Clare, thanks so much for this amazing video, but have you tried chalk paint in Jesmonite? How does it work, as it’s water based colour, should gel in well.

Hi Claire, I’m one of your recent followers, I really like your videos they are very helpful. I’m a beginner to jesmonite and today I made 2 coaster of jesmonite by following your tricks and tips. Problem is that there are some many tiny holes on the surface. How can I get rid of them and what can I do so it’s doesn’t come nxt time ? I wanted to share pic of my project with you , where can I do that. Thanks Anshika

I would say the acrylic paint was the closest in color. The Jesmonite Pigment was very concentrated and vivid, but did not look like the bottle. I wonder if just adding more of each would get them close to the represented colors. And how much of each type can be added before either it does not set or cause it to possibly break easier.
