I love your videos! They are SO HELPFUL!
Big fan here! Thank you Jai for all the tips and tricks !!
NICE! I'm excited about this one!
This was great! Thank you so much
Thank you for taking the time to make these very informative and entertaining videos. I have learned so much from you on my new cement all journey, and I cannot thank you enough!
❤
Thank you for your lovely comment. I am happy that my work has helped you on your journey.
Thank you for the information
Eureka!! Thank you for telling everyone to let it rest so the bubbles can self pop.
Wow, man I just started making candles and this was such a huge help, and yer a very entertaining guy too. Thanks man.
Thank you for the amazing comment.
You are educationaland way too funny😊
excellent...thanks!
Cannot wait for this to drop! Currently battling tiny bubbles in a new mold that collect at the top of the mold and it weakens the bottom of the vessel.
thank you for such precise information.
You are very welcome.
Hi there. I'm glad I find your video. And thank you so m ch for it. I'm Foreigner, but you video created very easy to understand❤. Although I'm trying to work with the Gypsum Cement 😊
That bathtub pic...classic!
I have a lil trick up my sleeve that no one has ever thought about and it works so good. Pours like silk and no bubbles. Im anxious to see yours. 👍
I guarantee they have thought about it. They just aren’t sharing the information. Sound familiar?
@@upvibecandle lol you may be right, I’ll have to upload a video if I ever get the nerve up.
Don't be a dee-yick. Tell us
Hey!! Do you have any videos for how to make wax refills? or any suggestions on how to make them? Big fan
Thank you. I don't have a video on that but in theory the concept is similar to knowing the exact amount of candle wax one needs for a jar. So, if were doing it I would watch this video ua-cam.com/video/vdm56Pl2KXI/v-deo.htmlsi=YG5Q-HIXfKYHJFy4. Then buy a refill mold from here by typing in refill in the search option www.boowannicole.com/UPVIBEEXCL and voila... I think you just gave me an idea for a video. 😁
Do you guys sell the jars that have small air bubbles or small imperfections? I also get some with odd discoloration on my lids. Anyone could give me some tips Thanks in advance.
To add to your bit about making demolding easier... Use air! You can essentially float a mold off of a part by blowing compressed air between the part and the mold. Also just curious, have you ever tried curing your parts in a pressure chamber at 50-60psi to further reduce any bubbles in your castings? This is a regular practice in the sfx industry for resins and silicones to compress any remaining tiny air pockets to near invisible, just curious how that would work for concrete.
@@cgjeff interesting I’ll look into it. As for the pressure chamber I don’t think that will work. Concrete needs hydration to harden. That’s why some perform water bathing.
You always my me laugh 😂
Help! So I’m not making candle jars but other concrete crafts. And every time I add acrylic paint to make a marble effect it thickens the cement so much it’s really not pourable anymore. I know you said acrylic will do this. But am I adding too much? I’m not adding over 5%. Or should I add more water?? Or just pour faster?? Thanks! Your videos have been so helpful!
You add more water, a few grams.
Hi! Is your 4:1 ratio of cement-all to water by weight or by volume? I see you used a scale in one of your shots so I'm assuming by weight?
Correct.
Hi
Why does my cement crack even b4 unmolding at around 6 hours itself ?
(There was a crack on the middle like a line

Do you have a video about pigments.? What kind? Where to buy em? PLS🎉
There are links in the description that have pigments.
Hi Jai! I was wondering if you would be able to do a video testing the Brea Reese Mix2Mold Gloss Sealer and/or Matte Sealer for sealing concrete candle jars? It is sold at Michaels Craft Store. Thank you! Love your videos :D
From what I know, it's not heat resistant. It appears to be a craft sealer and because there is no detailed information highlighting it's ability to withstand high temps I would not use it. If I ever get enough sealers to do a video I will definitely add that one to the list. Thanks for sharing.
@@upvibecandle thank you Jai, I was a bit concerned because there's really no details about it. They also sell a jar mold making that says candles. I did reach out and they told me it was safe to put candles in so I'm not really sure but if you can add it to your list for a possible new testing video that would be awesome!
@@shiningstarsoup I can't imagine it's more economical to go that route. Are you just looking for options and that's it? Do you not like working with Cement All or hydrostone? Just curious.
@@upvibecandle Oh, no, I love working with Hydrostone. I wasn't looking to use their molding resin products, rather just the gloss sealer. Because I'm in Canada it is harder (and much more expensive) to get my hands on the sealers you recommend. I have been using Clarks Wax for my Hydrostone vessels and it has been working well for me, the Brea Reese looked like another option that I can get for cheaper.
@@upvibecandle Sorry for the confusion!
Hi do you put any release agent on the silicon mold before you do your pour?
No, I do not.
@@upvibecandle thank you ! In some of the silicone mold that I used sometimes the cement gets stuck on the mold and very difficult to release. Have you ever experience it? Lastly, How do you clean the mold after use?
@@forgeturazz No, that doesn't happen to me. Here are 2 videos to help clean your molds. ua-cam.com/video/VyPd4nJStbE/v-deo.htmlsi=t-HUSxDS9dkqMC3L & ua-cam.com/video/SZ4UBQt6zqo/v-deo.htmlsi=XVKOrYcvJMCF73_6
do you use plasticizer?
No
I have one question, please. Some minutes after pouring the cement into the molds, the surface starts to become watery, like the heavy cement goes to the bottom and the water stays more on surface. It spoils the bottom side of my products. One just cracked and had no more bottom, another just looks like bubbly somehow. What would be the problem for that water to come to the surface? I did mixed it very well, and for sure it wasnt’t too much water, just enough to make it liquid enough so I can pour it into my molds…
It sounds like you're dealing with "bleeding," where water rises to the surface of your cement molds, causing defects. This often happens due to an incorrect water-to-cement ratio or inadequate mixing. Even small variations in water can lead to bleeding, so try reducing the water slightly while keeping the mix pourable. Ensure thorough mixing for even distribution, possibly using a mechanical mixer.
Check any additives you're using, as they can affect bleeding. Finer aggregates can also help reduce this issue. Make sure your molds are clean and smooth to aid in proper setting. After pouring, gently tap or vibrate the molds to release trapped air and help settle the mix. Ensure the molds are on a stable, level surface for even curing. By tweaking these factors, you should see better results in your concrete candle jars.
@@upvibecandle I didn’t get any bubbles, my products look very smooth and nice. I tap the cement before pouring it into my molds to release air. Only this problem with the water on the surface I have. I’ll try and test to see how much I can reduce the water for better results. Thank you for your quick and detailed answer, much appreciated! 🫶🏻
@@mihaelaenache if this is Cement All and it continues take the bag back. Sometimes we receive bad batches.
@@upvibecandle Oh, I see, so this could be the case sometimes too. I’ll keep it in my mind. I use white cement, Blanco Plus 52,5 R
lol thanks
Put the mold on a table and vibrate the table with a palm sander and the bubbles will come out quickly.
That’s old school. Make your mix smooth and then there is no need for tapping at all.
