if you add more water, it gives you more time to work with and it pours a little better. If you have a sanding machine, turn it on on the table where you work after your pour. It'll help pop up the bubbles and level at the same time.
Thank you, too much water is what makes it easily break too. I try to add more cement as I go to make it thick but gypsum doesn’t make it any stronger
@@joscreatesco.4946 When you add water it requires a much longer drying time, even with rapid set. I make massive bowls this way and I usually have to let it sit and dry for 2 days. Any demolding for then will cause breaking/crumbling. I
@@ChristinaQueenHeart ahhh I see what you’re saying
Hi Christina, Hope you don't mine me asking you a question. I do diamond painting molds but I like Ultracal 30 for the molds. Can I use that instead of the Plaster of Paris and would I still need to use the Cement All? i'm still new to making these molds. I appreciate you taking the time to answer me and have blessed day.@@ChristinaQueenHeart
Your work station is sooooooo clean! I have cement all every where lol
After a making a lot of those the work space is just for video aesthetic it’s a hot mess
Glad I found your videos! They’re quite helpful. Thanks for posting. I’ll try out the concrete & PoP mix!
I have a new method pop is brittle
@@joscreatesco.4946 Thanks for the update hun! 🖤🖤
Hello. Is your mixture enough to do 2 trays at a time? Thanks!
I also make concrete vessels and trays. May i ask what the plaster of paris does? It seems like its shinier but im curious what the plaster is for and why you choose to use it. TIA
Fantastic ! but how do I know how much water and cement to use? what ratio do i use?
Hi
Please, can you put the link of the materials ( plaster of Paris and cementale ) that you used on this video
Adorable! Curious as to why you add the gypsum instead of doing all Cement All? Are there pros and cons to both? Thanks
Gypsum and Cement All has there pros and cons gypsum only con is it’s very weak. Cement all on the other hand yellows and greys out my added colors still testing and seeing what works or not. Mixing them together helps cancel out their cons. I’m in the process of using a acrylic polymer instead of water once I Do it I will have a video.
Can i ask something? What is good gymsum powder or cement powder when making this trinket
I tried making with just cement with different ratios. It keeps on breaking?
Very nice video, please i want to ask you, what chould we do to get the very dark black color ? I added to much acrylic to get the color but it dosen't want to dry
It has to dry, but don’t cake it only thing you can do is paint it the black color with no mix
I also found Jesmonite alternative in our country. I haven’t tested it yet and I don’t know how it works.
If Jesmonite ever reaches the states I’m buying a whole bunch but heard it’s just a brand there are ways to make it just wish i knew the ingredients.
acrylic resin is the same as jesmonite .you have the powder and the liquid,do this together in a mold there are calculators on the web available for this do you want terrazzo,then make powder-liquid and a color .spread this on plastic until it hardens, break it into pieces and mix it back with a large amount of powder-liquid and pour it into your mold. Cure for 20 minutes, sand with water
Can you coat it with clear lacquer or something so that the finish is less powdery?
I used liquitex gloss varnish
How can I seal them?
Hey, may i know if the cement youre using is just a plain white cement? Or is it some other special kind?
No I’m using a mixture of plaster (gypsum) which is white and cement that’s has sand mixed in it
Hola, cómo eliminas el sarro que se va acumulando en los moldes de silicona?
Hi, I was wondering what you do with the waste and how you clean the bin after?
The waste usually dries up quickly. I have other molds I fill the remainder with. The mold i clean with soap and a brush works just fine.
You can also spread it out thin and let it dry. Crumble it up and use it as speckles in your next pour.
Hello I am from Indonesia, I watched many videos about DIY Terrazzo Tray but usually they used Jesmonite liquid for mixing the mixture but in my country there isn’t available. And then I watched your video, I wanna ask, so you didn’t use another liquid then water in mixing the mixture, right? And how much measure comparison between cement and the gypsum powder? Thank you so much!
Gypsum and Cement All has there pros and cons gypsum only con is it’s very weak. Cement all on the other hand yellows and greys out my added colors still testing and seeing what works or not. Mixing them together helps cancel out their cons. I’m in the process of using a acrylic polymer instead of water once I Do it I will have a video. In video I feel I am using too much water so if it’s too liquidy add equal parts of each until it’s like a cake or pancake batter texture. It does dry fast so be careful in your experimenting
@@joscreatesco.4946 thank you so much for your response 🥰 waaaw i can’t wait for your next video, it will be very helpful for beginners like me. Going to subscribe your channel. Nice to know you by the way 😊🤍
Is this just a regular acrylic paint? Or it has to be the specific brand that you used?
Any acrylic works
Your paste looks really smooth mine isn't that smooth...how
Plaster is mixed in
Do you notice if the plaster of Paris also helps in lightening the color of the grey cement? I’m struggling in wanting to create a cream/ivory color. Have you tried this before?
Yes it does lighten that y i mixed the two, i have other videos that shows it.
Me too! Doesn't matter how much white paint I use, it always comes out light Grey!
whats your sealer
Hi! Is there another alternative besides using acrylic?
Also what’s the difference of using this while mixing with the powder or doing it after?
Cement Pigment oxides, heard buddy Rhodes sells those, mica is an option but you have to use ALOT.
I use the gypsum simply so the cement all doesn’t grey out my pigment. It’s turn my blues grey greenish color. I want the pigments to show better.
Nice. What grit sandpaper to you use ?
Some generic sand paper I’ve had laying around for yrs so i honestly do not remember but was very fine
This is super cool! You mentioned you cure these trays, how does the curing and sealing process work?
Also, any resources you can recommend to learn more about making these trays
Curing i let them sit out for a few days, haven’t found thee sealer but i just ended coating them in resin
Hi.. stumbled upon on your video its white regular cement/concrete right? Just wanted to know and these last long how long? And the sturdiness?? Also can u use chalk paints in these?? And how faster does it dry up? Does it dry up because of POP??
Plaster of Paris is the white and the grey yellow color is cement for concrete called cement all
These are a bit easy to break still. The gypsum adheres well to it. Acrylic paint makes it dry super fast but I still let it cure for 4 hrs. Plaster of Paris doesn’t accelerate the drying time
@@joscreatesco.4946 Thank u so much for your response what should be the ideal ratio of water, white cement and plaster of paris?
@@deepikatrilokekarshringarp5044 make it thick and pancake textured don’t have it watery like mine. Add 1cup water, 1cup pop mix, 1 cup cement mix then add half a cup of each to make it thicker.
@@josjoseph1883 thank you so much! I will keep you posted how they turn out!!
Which sandpaper did u use for sanding.. i tried doing one but that left scratches.. does it have to fine one??
Hey how to make this stronger I made a tray n demoukded it the same day ca e of fine but when I tested it strength broke
I have a new video where i add acrylic polymer and titanium dioxide to avoid the fragility of it
Hi may i know whats the second sands that you put ?? i use white cement and grey .. if white cement the color turns to light colors plus the arcylic paints 🤣
Cement and plaster
hi! may I know what did you use to seal them? thanks before..
Liquitex Gloss Sealant
@@joscreatesco.4946 thanks!!
Would this mixture work for soap dishes?
I have soap dish molds i haven’t used yet but you would need an exceptional sealer
Hello
You do nice job thanks for showing that amount of details. I need to know if the regular white cement we find at the construction shops does work and what is plaster of Paris, does it have other brand names?
Something else please, what do you think about adding sand or white glue to the mixture? Thank you so much for your patience.
Just add plaster the brand is called plaster of Paris
You can always experiment but i have never tried it
Hey.. what can we do to make it more stronger??
I’m working on experimenting with a acrylic polymer stay tuned…
@@joscreatesco.4946 have you done it by now?
hi, I see all the materials listed except the cement. what is the exact name of that product?
Cement-all
Why the plaster? Thank you!!
Aesthetic really
When i use acrylic paint it seems like it doesnt well dissolve with the cement. While its drying there are dots of paint and smears during sanding 😭
You must mix it well also thick body acrylics may cause that too
How much time does it take to de mould?
Demolding is quick
Hi Can we use white cement instead of?
Heard it crumbles
Hey kindly help us to make black color.
I am working on it
Could you please share the colors that you used,the number of each shade
In this video i used red, turquoise, and raw sienna
So are these fragile ?
Abit yes
is it safe to ship? I’m kinda scared to ship it out because it might break
It breaks just like glass would if it fell off a counter
Plaster of Paris is not eco friendly. If we add acrylic colours in the cement it fades after curing . Better to paint after curing
Absolutely right about that one
