Thanks for this video......OMG I have seen so many back and forth answers and it seems like it is to each their own, but no one has been as thorough in explaining as you have. I have not begun my concrete journey, as I am still researching, but I do have my supplies. Thanks again so much! Truly helpful, as usual.

You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed the thorough research and explanation.

very informative and I enjoy your videos. it gives me more confidence in making my own concrete candle jars. I have been making candles for 3 years now and I want to start making my own jars you gave me more information than the other videos I have seen. I just finished watching your other videos about your reviews on 17 concrete sealants, that was really awesome.

Hi Jai, another great video and probably the answer to my misery. Thank you! I'm living in a very dry climate and had issues with candle jars cracking when the candle is burning, so water bathing seems necessary in my case. I did notice the jars coming out spotty, almost as though the pigment got washed out of some areas. Would you possibly have any suggestions? Thanks for a your great content!

Try covering them instead or give a lite spray of water to see if that helps both issues. Rewatch the video. I briefly explain what I mean.

This has been such a debate in the concrete community lol - thank you so much for this video. I prefer not to do more work even if bathing is fun. Cement All is so easy/fun to work with.

Does white cement plaster and sand mixture also need water bath if yes how long does it need water bath ?

@upvibecandle

Жыл бұрын

No but if you feel the weather or temperature is causing issues cover them.

What is the best climate for a water bath??? Can it just be a bucket behind my house where it's shady? Should I cover the water bath container with a lid? Should I water bath different colored cements separately?

@upvibecandle

Жыл бұрын

The temperature should be normal range. Outside should be fine but keep an eye on the temperature. No need to cover it and yes separate the vessels just to make sure there is no cross contamination.

Also have to add that the thumbnail cracked me up. (Pun intended). I water bathed one of my vessels once and when I took it out of the water it had totally crystalized. I have no idea why. There were all these small crystals like things. They were actually pretty cuz they looked like glitter. I’m not sure why that happened. I left it in the water for 3 days. I read your were supposed to soak for 2 weeks!

I actually did a video in the bathtub (green screen) and filmed the ending of where I say and take a look at these videos... but it looked too cheesy so I opted for the image. In regard to water bathing yes sometime you will get that crystalized look. Brewmill washes all her vessels after she removes them so I think it's a matter of washing them off and letting them dry and cure before moving forward. I have only water bathed a few items that I thought needed it and haven't run across those crystals. Thanks again for your comments.

@@upvibecandle Oh man that would’ve been really funny! I did see a video about someone washing the vessels off. Is she the one who does them in the sink with the strainer? I’m so scared of putting anything with cement in my sink. Unfortunately I live in NY so for at least half the year our outdoor hoses are turned off. Maybe this is another sign I need to leave NY and move to a warmer state!

If you do get a crack in your concrete vessel, is it still salvageable? (ie: Could you still use it as a concrete vessel if it is sealed properly, or do you think it would be better off either tossed or repurposed as a pen holder instead? 😅)

You could test out Kintsugi style like this here. tinyurl.com/42tetwsf. I guess it all depends on how bad the crack is but honestly I am a bit of a perfectionist and unless I wanted it to look that way I wouldn't sell it.

Plaster weakens in water so if you are having issues just cover it instead of bathe it.

Thank you! I assume that grime is efflorescence. Do you know Brewmill Candle Co KZread channel? She water bathes regularly and washes her vessels after 24 hours to get that grime off. If it still persists try covering your vessels to slow down the drying process which should also reduce any residue. Hope that helps.
