There are wholesale distributors in America it’s called gypsum which everyone is calling hydro stone
My life is changed now ❤ hydrostone looking amazing
Soooo happy to see you having fun testing a new product. The vessel looks fantastic! THANKS for sharing.
❤️❤️❤️
Wow, what a difference! Great tutorial! Also, I love Jai!
Right? Thank you for watching! He is the best.
Just got some delivered today and your video is the first one I went back to. I am super excited to begin making these to give as gifts for the upcoming holidays!
Have fun!!
looking forward to see the next video
Thank you for the tutorial!!!❤
U can use dental Hydrostone, which u can purchase from any dental distributor. This is what I use for my candle pots here in Australia
Hi, just wondering what sealer you use? Am in Aus too and it's so tough to get the hydrodip here so I've been trying a bunch of things from bunnings - none are great.
same dye time?
That was relaxing to watch u stirring lol. When u demolded, I said "Wow" the same time u did 🙂
Wow very nice! Thank you for the tutorial ❤
Thank you for watching!
Thank you, Bree! I have had issues with my Cement All lately as well.
Ugh, it can be a pain when it’s difficult to work with! Thank you for watching.
Excellent! Thank you.
I love watching your videos so informative thank you so much for taking the time to make them . I’m starting back making candles after a 10 year gap . I’m in U.K. and can’t find the hydro stone so I think I’ll start with cement ❤❤
What kind of cement are you gonna use as I’m the same I’d in the uk
Wow I have never done it that way, I’m going to try it that way and see if it helps the bubbles on mine I normally get, yours didn’t hardly have any on it! Thank you for sharing!
You’re so welcome! Hope it helps!
Thank you for the tutorial. Wonderful as usual. I love not only how white and smooth it was but also how much easier it looks like to clean up! I have heard some concerns about stability at higher temperatures so I’ll be curious to see what you find in your testing. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! Yes, I've been reading up on that during my research. It seems it does not like extremely cold or hot temperatures, so we'll have to see.
The finding the right sealer for it is difficult where I tested it with the sealer you dipped with cement all does not work very well with hydro stone aka gypsum. I tested it the other day with boiling water in the vessel it leaks through where the cement all does not.
@@CGKreations Yes, with the regular quick dip sealer you would need a few more coats than you would with cement-all since the hydrostone is more porous. The hydro dip has been formulated differently and will work better with the hydrostone.
It's so cool to see. TBH, I could see myself using this as vessels only, like for a pop of my mixed-pigment vessels. But wow so fun. I don't need to buy anything else I'm trying to do wooden wicks and now I want this - so fun to stay creative in this realm. Love the video :)
I have been seeing your wooden wick updates on fb! I just started testing the ultimate wicks. Can’t wait to see how they do. It’s so hard to stay focused and work on one thing at a time sometimes 😂. I want to try all the new stuff!
Dude....wooden wicks is testing me. I love how pretty and easy they are to put in our vessels, but I'm stressing lolol. It's making me appreciate Cotton Wicks so much more. I won't give up, but you best believe I will use these for a limited time. I can't wait to see yours - your work is so lovely 😃
@@calafiacandleco
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos! Just wondering what can you use to colour the hydrostone?
Devon dotting has great candle holder moulds
They are so beautiful ❤❤may I know where you get the molds from❤❤❤
Thank you for the video. Do u use sealer? if so, what sealer r u using?
Wow! Didn’t take much time at all to mix. I’m impressed.
No time at all! Super easy to mix.
@@calafiacandleco I’m in Northern California. You said you bought this in Canada? So not easy then to buy at Home Depot or Lowes? Was it expensive to get from Canada?
Just wondering if you can mix cement all and hydrostone to make a black marble look? (Cement All -black pigment added) (hydrostone- leave as is).
I would assume it's easier(use less pigment) to make black with cement all than to hyrdostone.
Hi Bree, thank you for the great video. I’m just starting out making vessels, and the hydrostone was exciting to see work. I am wanting to purchase the sealer you showed here, and was wondering if there is a discount code I can use for November. I have been dealing with Covid for 2 weeks, and this is the first day I’ve felt well enough to watch. I’m LOVING the idea of making my own candles.
Thanks again. Blessings!
Hi there! I don't have any discount codes for November..so sorry! I'm glad you're feeling better! Have fun with the vessel making :)
@@calafiacandleco
Thank you Bree.
Thank you so much! I love all your videos! My only issue is I am in Canada and can not get earth safe here. Do you recommend and other sealer for Hydrostone?
Earth Safe ships all over the world!
That looks awesome. I am into resin and there is a new product that looks similar to that called Resincrete by J Diction it might be cheaper ordering for you. Oh and what is the vibrating machine called so I can look for one. I think that would help with my deep pours bubbles.
I'll check that out! It's a dental vibrating machine. I do have the one I have linked on my Amazon storefront. It's great at getting bubbles out!
And can you just seal the inside off it are does the hole vessel have to be dipped and have you tried that Jesmonite I seen a lot off people using it also
Awesome tutorial! I found that Hydrostone on Amazon
I saw some on there, but ultimately it ended up being cheaper to order the one I did for 50lbs of it.
Good to know, thank you!!@@calafiacandleco
Very nice video. I have found that filling the mold from one side, vice center pouring, helps minimize air bubbles. What vibration machine do you use?
Oh okay interesting! I have the machine linked on my amazon storefront, which you can find in the description box. I believe it's under the concrete jar supplies category.
*CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN ME HOW YOU THE CALCULATION*
Thank you so much for this! I’m not sure if this question has been asked, but do you have a standard method when it comes to calculations of the mixture with hydra stone and Simental?
Sorry for the late reply here! I linked Jai's video in the description that shows how to calculate how much you need of each ingredient. I highly recommend checking it out! He explains it very clearly.
This is a game changer for you!! Thank you for opening our eyes and inspiring us to be creative. Love your channel!
Can you talk about your logo on the vessel.
Wireback Candle Co. Jojo
Thank you so much! I do have a video on the custom molds. I think 3 or 4 months ago if you look back.
i need help!!! i love ur videos ur explanations is very clear and easy!!! i just started making cement jars and i have so much fun making this jars. but i live in Ethiopia,Addis ababa and the type of cement we have are far from what u guys have in terms of quality, and so the drying process takes about 12-24 hours to dry and demold for cement and hydro stone takes even more, why is that? can i do something to make this process faster?
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching! I am not too keen on other formulas. I would suggest checking out UpVibe here on UA-cam. Jai has a lot of great videos showcasing other formulas to achieve a concrete jar and definitely has more expertise in that category. I'm not sure about adding anything to make them cure faster...again I suggest checking out his videos. He might have a solution to that.
I have 2 50 lb bags and I was ready to tossed it. Is Hydrostone waterproof, like to make outdoor planters. I started to make hyperlopha planters. Has anyone ever tried to do planters , but outdoor too.
Does Eco Advanced sealer work on Hydrostone?
Is it important to seal the hydrostone jar before pouring the wax? Or can I take a chance and it without sealing?
You definitely need to seal it. Hydrostone is very porous, and the wax will seep through.
Hello, I'm from Brazil and have no idea how to find it. Is there a famous brand or something like that? Thanks
wow that stuff looks awesome.. thanks for sharing.. have you added colors, used the sealer, and lit a candle yet.. ? curious if anything needed to change with the wax or wick ? I've also had some real bad batches of Cement All its almost as if it's gotten damp and it's not soft but harder to scoop and get fully mixed.. I really did a number on my hands already had carpel tunnel but finally had surgery and healing up nicely..😊. I've also been making these for a couple years selling at a flea market buy lately I've had customers complain the jars are cracking after being burnt down some.. which has never happened before I think its the cement all I'm getting.. ohh I was wondering.. have you ever tried to sell or get rid of molds you no longer use? I'm contemplating getting rid of the ones I don't use anymore.. ive got soooo many now from various places.
I haven’t done anything more with the hydrostone vessel I made 😬. I’ve been crazy busy with other projects and it kind of fell off the priority list haha! When I transitioned to my logo molds, I did sell the previous molds I was using. They still had some life in them. I have in the past had to rid of molds that were just really worn down and shrunk quite a bit.
where can i get hydro dip in canada
Hi! If you don’t mind how did you do the water calculation for the vessel? Where did the 81% and 31% come from. TIA
Hey there! I got the formula from Jai’s video I have linked in the description
@@calafiacandleco thank you!
I’ve only tried making cement-all candle vessels once and they seem like they looked good but a couple of days later, they cracked. What would be the cause of that?
It could be a couple different reasons. There could have been too much water in the mixture, or they could have dried too quickly. Making these is very weather dependent.
Question, I’ve bought concrete vessels from companies, and when I made the candles, the wax or any kind a saw it gets stuck all over the candle vessel, and doesn’t come off. Is this common?
If any part of the vessel is not sealed, the wax and fragrance oil will stain it. The inside of the vessel at least should be sealed, and therefore it should be easy to wipe off.
I went to the euclids website and there's only a small bag available for Hydrocal, not Hydrostone. Do you know if these are the same? Not ready to buy a 50 lb bag yet haha.
No, hydrocal is different. I saw the 50lbs as the only option when I was looking on their site. You could try looking around elsewhere to see if you can find a smaller bag.
How did you get the amount did you multiply the water by something how did you get on with testing
Hi As mentioned in the video, I linked the video I used to figure out the calculations from in the description box.
I’m new to your channel so my apologies if you have addressed this question but why do you have to seal the inside of the candle? What would happen if you did not and skipped this part and just poured the wax? Thank you for your AMAZING videos and all the tips tricks and advice!!! Appreciate you so much thanks 😊
No worries! Concrete is very porous (hydrostone even more so), and if left unsealed, the wax and fragrance oil will seep through the vessel. So sealing prevents that from happening and keeps everything in the vessel. Thanks for watching!
@@calafiacandleco oh my goodness, I did not even expect a reply, thank you. Most UA-camrs do not reply, especially to an older video so thank you for taking the time to help me out. I appreciate the input. I will make sure to seal my vessels 😊
Of course! I try my best to reply to as many comments as I can :) Always here to help!@@lisademma6224
Do you have to seal the vessel? Can you just pour candle into it and sell it?
No, you need to seal. Hydrostone and concrete are very porous, and the wax/fragrance oil will seep through the vessel.
Can you use the hydro drip sealer on cement all vessels? I bought the new Hydro Dip for my hydro stone vessels but do not have anything to seal my cement all vessel with? Recommendations? Thank you for sharing !!
You certainly can!
THANK YOU!!!😊
Hi, i want to ask if you still using the room spray base from midwest i heard the base is to strong even when is combined with the fragrance thanks, I will appreciate any tip im trying to do body mist spray...
Hello yes I still use their base. I really like it. They do offer a body spray base, as well if you’re looking into doing body mists.
@calafiacandleco Thanks for answering. Have you had any issues at all with the base I'm trying to do body mist but I hear the base is kind strong even with the fragrance anyway I will test with small base to see thanks and I love your candle new look 🙌
HELP! I understand putting the water in and having it in grams, but how did you get the amounts of hydro stone and water? I’m sorry, but I’m kinda lost. I love math & am good at it, but for some reason this is throwing me!
Also … what is FlowAll??
Thanks Bree!
Hi! I show the formula around the 5:50 mark. First you need to figure out how much water your mold holds in grams. Once you have that, you can plug that number into the formula. I also have Jai’s video linked in the description. He goes into more detail about the formula needed to figure out how much of each ingredient you need. Flow control is an additive you can add to cement-all if it’s being difficult to work with. It increases the fluidity of the mixture without compromising the strength.
@@calafiacandleco
Thank you for being kind to me & helping. I really appreciate it.
Blessings!
How many days do you need to wait till you can seal them?
Great question. I’m not sure yet, as I just poured this yesterday. I’ll be weighing it each day to see when the weight levels off. In Jai’s video, I’m pretty sure he said 2 days cure time but that is all weather dependent.
@@calafiacandleco wow!! 2 days would be a game changer!!
After months of bad bags of cement all I’ve finally decided to go with Hydro-stone! I was reading the doom the website and it say to put them in the oven for final cure 🧐 is that what you did?
Bree do you still need to wear a mask with hydro stone ?
I would recommend it!
Thanks just double checking I’m a nurse so wearing a mask is the norm love your content! You are inspiring
@@mirandawalker2719 Thank you so much! I appreciate that.
What is a formula? Where can I find it?. 😢
Hi there. I linked the video in the description from UpVibe candle where you can figure out how much of each ingredient you need.
@@calafiacandleco sorry can't find it. Or I seen somthing about concrete, not Hydrostone tho.
Pour your water into the hydro stone, it's easier~ I love my hydrostone~ Plus you can color it SO easily~ it is a bit more expensive~ but.....It will get even whiter Honestly~ I'd wait till it cooled to unmold~ Only cause I broke one unmolding to quickly~ thanks for the tip on the earth seal. Mine are actually weeping~ So I'll dip a second time~ then I'll switch but sure wish I'd known about it earlier~ I bought a gallon~ will last FOREVER~ LOL
Oh interesting. Everything I’ve read says to add it to the water and let it get that dry lake bed look. I found it to be quite easy to mix up. Way easier than cement-all. I’ve been reading that hydrostone is very temperature sensitive and can crack in extremely cold or hot temperatures. Have you experienced any of that?
@@calafiacandleco I tried the hydro stone to the water and that might work better! I've heard that about the breaking but haven't experienced it yet. But I'm in Ga. Pretty good weather. Also, I do wait for it to cool completely before unmolding ! They do seem a bit harder to seal.
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos! Just wondering what can you use to colour the hydrostone?
You can use any pigments you’d normally use with concrete. Thanks for watching!
