Excellent video, what size grit of sandpaper do you use? Also I’m wondering what is the purpose for soaking the vessels afterwards? I love videos that are precise & to the point, not too lengthy thanks again
Hello from France, Great your videos, I love 🤩 and I found some tips. Thanks very much ! 🤗 By cons difficult without translation into French (I do not know if there is a way to do it, you tube subtitle in English). I'm afraid to miss some subtleties 😅
No. It’s not concrete and water. It’s Cementall and water. It’s approximately 4:1. I have videos that show actual measurements. This was just a technique video.
@@brewmillcandlecompany Thank you, I will search for the videos, how long do you wait to cure it? It´s a lot of hand job for this, can you sell with hiegher price thank glass?
@@fabioposser2 It is a lot of work by hand, I agree. I do not sell them for much more than glass, but I sell more of them. My customers love concrete candles.
I water bathe all my vessels for the first 24 hours to slow down the curing process as the chemical components create exothermic reaction causing the mixture to heat up quickly in the first few hours. In absence of water applied to surface continuously during curing, the heat results in quick drying. Quick drying creates an unstable finished product that’s susceptible to cracking, particularly when exposed to more heat like a candle flame, or hot wax. Concrete reaches its optimum strength at 28 days, but in the purpose of our use of Cementall, the first 24 hours up to seven days is the most crucial to achieve full strength.
Thank you for making this step by step video.

I use 120 grit. And I water bathe my vessels to achieve optimum strength.
@@brewmillcandlecompany Alright perfect. Thanks for that info. I appreciate it 🙂
Very impressive! How long after the water bath do you seal them?
7 days
Hiya, thanks for this. I have 2 of these molds, any ideas on wick sizes to start with? I will be using soy wax and I am in the UK. Thank you.
Do you have access to wooden wicks? I use the .625 booster wicks from The Wooden Wick co (now Makesy). I’ve also used Eco 10 if I use C3 Soy.
@@brewmillcandlecompany Thank you I don't have access to those particular wood wicks, I will try the eco series. I use CB Advanced soy wax by Ecosoya.
Thanks for sharing

Well thank you for watching from France. I’ll definitely add captions to be translated. Great suggestion. 😊
Hello. The item you are using from Windy Point, titanium dioxide? Which one is this, oil or water? Thank you.
Water soluble 😀
Where do you get those round "cuffs" to fit around your mold for stability???
They come with the molds. 😊
How long do you soak them in water?
24 hours
It´s only concrete and water? Which proportion do you use?
No. It’s not concrete and water. It’s Cementall and water. It’s approximately 4:1. I have videos that show actual measurements. This was just a technique video.

Very nice.
Here in Brazil we don't have this cimentall, I need to check an alternative.
What does soaking them in water do?
I water bathe all my vessels for the first 24 hours to slow down the curing process as the chemical components create exothermic reaction causing the mixture to heat up quickly in the first few hours. In absence of water applied to surface continuously during curing, the heat results in quick drying.

Thank you for the Question
