    Jesmonite is a pain to get into the US, extremely expensive. I currently use perfect cast (slightly stronger than regular gypsum plaster). Perfect Cast takes pigments well, but I still prefer jesmonite. And I like cement for pots that don't need color.

    Here is something you might want to try. You can make plaster very strong and durable enough to last outside for ever, and strong enough to through 20 ft up in the air without breaking. When you mix it with water, add concrete acrylic fortifier, the more you add, the longer it takes to have chemical reaction to set up and flows better, and stronger it is.

    • @saharriazati9927
      @saharriazati9927 2 роки тому +2

      Just wondering, is that the best combination to use? Is this acrylic fortifier something you can add to cement? I've made some out of normal cement, only 1 out of 3 survived without breaking when I took them out of the mold and worried that the last one will break easily if handled to roughly.

    • @ronaldrichman8032
      @ronaldrichman8032 2 роки тому +15

      @@saharriazati9927 Yes, thats what it is actually for, cement, you buy it by the cement in a quart or gallom, a quart is about 10 bucks and i use 1 quart for 5 bags of cement for stuff, you might want to use 1 quart for 3 bags for a much harder concrete. It will kinda have a temporary purplish color at first, but changes when hardens. takes a while longer to harden, but when it does, you almost can't break it. Called Concrete Acrylif Fortifier with the Quickcrete brand, some of the other brands call it something similar,

Not thinking about the depress situation in the Hospital. Sadly in Malaysia is very hard to get a jesmonite. I used white cement as alternative. Hopefully i can started to take order soon. Currently doing my r&d at the moment.

    Hello, a little bit late comment but there is white cement available too if you want to preserve the color! Thanks for cleaning up the differences I started with cement that is cheap and that I'm familiar with from other DIY projects and then I realized most crafters prefer jesmonite.
    Probably I will try the plaster too if I make anything to sell, to keep the weight down to avoid extra shipping cost.

Wish there was a good alternative here for the Quickset cement...but I can't find one though. Ordered the Jesmonite so very excited to try it out 🙂 The code on Hemway didn't want to work though?

    Thank you so much for this awesome video. I had been wondering if plaster was comparable to jesmonite, and then I saw this. Of course I had to get some plaster right away. Just tried it in my silicone jewelry dish mold and I love it. I think I’m hooked...going to try cement next. Thanks again for the inspiration ❤️

      @Pam Longwell how did it work? Did you try it both ways, like Claire did, plaster to resin and then resin to plaster? If you recall, Claire found adding jesmonite to resin did not work for her. That's why she's doing the Jesmonite first in her molds.

    Thanks for this video Claire xo. Just for those who may wish to experiment, when looking up Jesmonite Safety Data Sheets, the powder component is listed as Plaster of Paris, and the liquid component as some sort of acrylic compound. I'm sure someone could come up with something extremely similar. Happy experimenting (I hope this helps someone).

      I read that too. That jesmonite is basically plaster of paris and acrylic resin. I wanna try it but it’s more expensive than just mixing the plaster with water. I wanna know if they look different after sanding

    • @belahouison4328
      @belahouison4328 3 роки тому +7

      @@IsaacMaganaMusic For what Jesmonite is, I too think it is way too expensive. I would imagine Jesmonite and simple plaster of Paris would look reasonably alike. Back in the day (a long time ago at art school) I made a few sculptures from plaster of Paris, which sanded down to a lovely smooth finish, however, I found them to be a bit brittle (plus plaster naturally absorbs water). I'm thinking that the acrylic may solve the brittleness problem to a certain degree, and maybe also the water absorption. It's probably something I'll experiment with a bit some time in the future. I have plaster of Paris (pretty old though, but still in powder form), so I only need to research the acrylic side of things and play around. I have read, somewhere on the net, that glue can be added to strengthen plaster also. It didn't specify which type of glue, but I guess some more research may answer that question.

It has been stored in well sealed plastic bags, in a plastic bucket with (oddly enough) 2 lids. Found it in my craft supply hoard a few months back. If nothing else, I could use it for adding texture to whatever.

    Loved this video Claire as usual. Plaster of Paris tends to be a little weak and can chip easily, but if you add a product called plaster polymer which is a liquid and quite cheap, it will turn the plaster into pretty much Jesmonite. Have a little research and you will find information about doing this. I would like to fiddle with using marble dust also to get a fake marble effect, it never ends!
