Thank you for this video!!!!!! I haven't made concrete items yet. The info you shared will help me and many others. ❤❤❤
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.
Thank you for the great compliment.
Thanks for all your research and sharing 🎉
You are very welcome!
Thanks so much for this video!... :)
Thank you for your passion. You are appreciated.
Awww. Thanks
You are wonderful. I love your videos.. They are very helpful and save me a lot of stress in finding solutions to my problems with concrete. You are amazing!!!
Thanks for the lovely comment.
Love your videos, thank you so much !!!
You are very welcome.
LOVED THIS VIDEO JAI ❤
Aww thanks... Means a lot!!!
You are the Best! Thank you. (From Brazil)
You are very welcome.
this was incredibly beneficial
Great. Thanks
your videos are hilarious ..... and informative. Thank you
Very good video. I think it's safest to just water bathe. Those 24 hours is very ok for me personally.
You’re awesome! I’m the one who asked you about this and asked for the video so I will also be the one to thank you for
Making the video.
Yes you did and you beat me to the punch. I was going to tag you on the FB group... This video was so fun to do and much more work than I realized. However, I think I have found the perfect answer to the question and it's all because you asked. Thanks for all your support. I truly appreciate it.
@@upvibecandle well thank you very much! Great video and great research too. I really appreciate it and I know everyone else in the group will too.
I’m wondering why you don’t have more subscribers. Love your videos!!! ❤
Thanks
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.
Politics, religion and sports have nothing on the heated debates of concrete sealers. 😁
@@upvibecandle not at all lmao you got it
Muito boa sua pesquisa, estou no Brasil e sempre coloco minhas peças na cura úmida.
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário. Que bom que você gostou.
I love this video 😂😂
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.
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!
@@MakeupMobster I actually sometimes water wash my vessels when I feel they look a bit dirty from my hands or the silicone mold. I work with black a lot so sometimes, as clean as I am, I miss a spot or 5. 😀
@@upvibecandle yes I have watched your videos on how to make black vessels. I cannot believe how black you get them. I need to try your recipe. So far I haven’t been able to get mine to be black. The black pigment is dirty though. It gets everywhere
@@MakeupMobster Supra black from Globmarble. You will love it. Here’s the link. amzn.to/3toGyAF.
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?
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.
Does white cement plaster and sand mixture also need water bath if yes how long does it need water bath ?
No but if you feel the weather or temperature is causing issues cover them.

Can I cover the mold with plastic after I pour instead of waiting until I unmould it?
No. Do it after.
Do you sand your containers before or after water bathing? (If you even sand at all.)
I don't need to sand at all. My vessel come out pretty smooth with very little bubbles. However, if I were to do it I would do it immediately after demolding.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. ❤

How late is too late to bathe concrete? I have some that have been sitting a while and wondering if it’s worth it after so many hours
The longer you wait the more cured it becomes so you must try to water bathe immediately after demolding.
Just wondering why i dont have to bathe concrete candles if i have plaster in the mixture?
Plaster weakens in water so if you are having issues just cover it instead of bathe it.
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.
@@upvibecandle Thank you for sharing the link and for your advice, Jay! 🤗
what about Hydrostone? I saw the video but didn't see anything about water bathing them?
You don't need to.
@@upvibecandle I thought now but??? I used the eco seal. Did not work. They're seeping like a sieve! Ordered earth safe immediately!
I have put my concrete projects in water for at least 4 days. It has cut down on my breakage.
Yes!!! That's how it works.
Does water temp matter ?
Room temperature
I have put my white cement jars in water for one hour or so and after that I noticed they lost the natural shine they had after demolding. So, I suppose water bathing is not a necessity step for my products…
@@mihaelaenache Try covering or spraying them if you feel you are having issues.
Hi Jai love your videos
I water bathed the vessels for 24hrs after demolding and the vessel will have a chalky texture to the surface so i sand it and im left with rough surface any ideas why the chalky texture after water bathing
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you! I assume that grime is efflorescence. Do you know Brewmill Candle Co UA-cam 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.
@@upvibecandle thank you soo much 🙏🏻
Love your vídeos but need it in spanish
No hay problema. Agregué los subtítulos.
Muchas Gracias 🙏😃
