Hey, just wanted to know if u oiled the trays or used any sort of sealer. If not could u suggest ways how we can achieve a shiny finishing? Also if we can sand it or not?
Hi can u plz guide me.. when we demold our product can we direct soak in water continually for 3_7 days or we should kept in sunlight before or after soaking . And other question is that give me proper mixing proportion of all the material u use in trinket tray thank u so much 😊
Hi thanks for sharing this, may I also check with you, for cleaning. What is the way is best to clean all the used tools and cup to prevent it blocked the hose water flow at home?
@@inagundersen6272 I usually clean the tools with clean water, you'd better wipe the cement with a napkin first. And I use warm water and washing powder to clean silicone molds.
This is a normal phenomenon. It will be better if you don't add a lot of water when mixing cement. The state of mixing is similar in my video, and there will not be a lot of water. Hope this will help you a little.
I learned the hard way that white portland cement just breaks apart without sand. I found a better product made for concrete countertops. It's called premium countertop mix in white. They sell it at menards and it has all the sand already mixed in and its the same price basically and plain cement.
@@tradergirl7067 would you say using white Portland cement without sand for a small project like this would also mean it’ll break? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while. Thanks!
@@viennacarbajal5636 Portland cement is basically like hardened chalk. Extremely fragile if you dont mix anything with it. Ive made several planter pots and it literally cracks when removing them from the mold or they crack and crumble with in 24 hrs of removal just sitting on a bench without anyone touching them they just crack apart ..cement is not concrete until you add stuff.
so beautiful. could i ask a quick question.This is probably obvious to some, sorry just starting me venture into cement. I used white portland cement but i didn't add sand as i thought this may make it look rough. Am i meant to add sand to portland cement? i was using jesmonite but now feeling a little confused using a new material :0/
You need add sand to cement or it is easy to break. I usually use a 1:1 ratio, I know jesmoite this material, but this material is not available in China. I think the material of Jesmoite is made more smoother, but it is estimated that the price is also more expensive.
You have to mix white sand with the white portland cement or it will just crack and fall apart. There is anther product called premium countertop in white that already has the sand mixed in. Works perfect for molds. Its a mixture thats made for concrete countertops so it already has the sand mixed in. Buy in USA at Menards.
@@DS-qw1tp Tech Mix Premium Concrete Counter Top in white. Awesome stuff. Takes about 16 to 24 hrs to dry before you can de mold. Also .. another way to get white concrete which works awesome is to get Cement All and add powder food grade Titanium Oxide. Use it like you would use any other concrete pigment. And that Cement All dries in like 4 hrs compared. Lots of you tube videos about it. But the counter top mix is a brighter white.
I don't know what kind of cement do you use, but you'd better wait until it's dry before unmoulding. Also, make sure that your proportions are correct, if the proportion is correct, it is generally less likely to be damaged.
@@HC-ue2rv You'd better spray some water the other day to keep the product moist and prevent craking. Of course, not cracking also depends on the quality of your cement and size of the product you make. You can try different ways. Thank you!
Acrylic is much lighter in fact. And it uses all the water in the concrete so you have to add more water so it takes a very long time to cure using acrylic paint. It's very hard to mix it evenly and it weakens the cement.. very experienced. Direct Colors has a large selection of pigments and you could never get a deep color like that with acrylic paint
I took the photos when I was not dry, so the colors look more vivid. Also you can seal with Acrylic coating or Acrylic emulsion. It will also have pretty good effect.
Is it or the colors looked more colorful at the beginning vs the ones done in video and shown as result ? Can someone tell me what can I do to make colors like more intense.
Vui, thanks for your support. You can wipe off the excess cement with a napkin first to avoid blocking the sewer, then you can clean the container easily.
I have a spot in my back yard near a faucet and I rinse them immediately after I pour. But there is a 3ft by 3 ft patch of colored concrete in my yard that keeps growing now. I've seen many many people using solo cups and they must be killing the environment to use new solo cups every pour. Then trash and no clean up.
Love how they came out, great job. is this Portland cement? or what kind of cement are you using? I use Cement for stepping stones but when I pour the cement it does not look so pasty like yours. How do you achieve that? thanks.
Thanks Rax for your comments, I use Portland cement. Don't add too much water, control the water. Cement has many standards, I use high standard white cement to make these trays.
Thank you so much for making this video ^-^ . I have a question please , it is ok to use faric paint or oil paint with the concrete to get a certain color ?
You watch the whole video, I have notes in what to use. This is neither fabric paint or oil paint, I use iron oxide powder, also you can use Acrylic paint.
I brought iron oxide pigment on Taobao in China, it is very cheap. You can use acrylic pints instead, I think you can also buy all the materials on Amazon, I hope my advice will help you a little. Good luck.
Hi, I am loving this video. If you don’t mind me asking, would u use straight cement for this or is it beat to add sand? What does adding sand do to the end product? Also can I use regular sand or silica sand the best thing to use? Thank u so much for sharing ur knowledge with us
I added sand to these trays, The purpose of adding sand is to increase the strength of the trays. Sure, you can use regular sand, I use quartz sand in this project. I hope these tips can help you .
The mass of water is 40% of the weight of cement，But the concrete depends on the cement , different cement requirements are different ，Just adjust the cement to a paste and try more to find the trick.
Why is the end product much better color than when you pulled it from the mold? The colors look richer on the shot showing with glasses than it does when you de molded it.
Live the creativity! Hope you've kept it up!!

Hi thanks for sharing this, may I also check with you, for cleaning. What is the way is best to clean all the used tools and cup to prevent it blocked the hose water flow at home?
It is recommended that you clean up immediately after you have done it, don't wash the remaining cement into the water pipe.

Do small products you can not add sand, but do big advice you add sand, can increase strength, I generally add. Besides, I use quartz sand.

水泥干透后就会变得不这么鲜艳，你要鲜艳表面涂抹一些其它的材质，比如防水材质的，就会变得更鲜艳。或者是你加的颜料或者氧化铁粉末比例少了。

You can spray varnish or acrylic paint.
@@Showmake i did but still can get the finish you are getting on these. I used modpodge,sealer . Do you mix something different in your cement?
