Jesmonite: How to use Jesmonite Sealant. Video 5

- Since filming this video I have heard back from Jesmonite LTD. They were able to tell me what they recommend for sanding and sealing. I have added the updated information in the video.
I am using Jesmonite sealer purchased from E Bay in a small pouch. You can purchase sealant in huge bottles from Jesmonite stockists.
Resin 8 have also launched a Jesmonite range and they also sell sealant.

I just love watching your videos, your personality is sooooo adorable and funny😂Thanks a lot for putting all this information here ❤
Ohhh Katy thank you so much xxx that really means a lot ❤️
Another great video. I'm glad they clarified how to seal it. The companies who make the sealant really should provide more detail on the packaging, rather than leaving it up to people to guess. Thank you. These are really cool!
Very true hunee ... I agree xx ❤❤❤
Thank youuuu for the info, I’m falling in love with Jesmonite!

Thank youuuuu Mary xx that means so much ❤️❤️❤️
@@ClairesCraftyCorner I ordered a mold just over a month ago and I'm sooooo excited to make my own vessels where I can double wick them but unfortunately I'm still waiting on the mold. All my spare time is watching your videos to prepare. I've been making candles just over 5 years now but cannot get my hands on vessels to double wick, very limited here in Ireland and can only get jars to single wick. So finding you I can assure you is a God sent 🤣😂🤣 Thankyou again I wanna get this right and have beautiful hand made vessels. Hopefully my mold will arrive soon so I can try your methods. 🥰🙋♀️
Hi Claire, thank you for the lovely and easy to follow sealing video. How would you fix the streaks left from a badly done sealing job and also water marks?
Heyyyy lovely ... I have not yet worked out how to fix water marks :( however, I now use kitchen sponges to seal ... they are the best thing I have found so far ! much better than brushes and makeup sponges x
Love your videos, you're the best for sharing so much knowledge with us!! Question for you...I'm not a huge fan of the Acrylic Sealer (unless it's absolutely needed like on coasters, soap dishes). I have some trinket trays that I really want to keep ultra-matte and therefore I really don't want to seal them with anything. What are your thoughts? Have you ever kept some pieces unfinished? If they're meant to be indoors only, do you see any issue? Thank you so much!
Hi Claire ,is amazing what you do .
Can you give an advice for bubble in jesmonite please .
Thank you
thank you so much .. ya just gotta tap tap tap and shake them out ... then blow out bubbles that rise to the surface xxx
Thank you for your great videos! Would you be able to share where you get all your moulds from?
Hey Elle ... thank you so much ! yes I absolutely can do ... these coaster moulds are from Just 4 you online .. but I have found them on Amazon and have linked that below in my storefront. All of my moulds are from Amazon, Wish or Ali Express xx
Hi Claire, first of all thank you for all your helpful videos. Have a question regarding Jesmonite AC100 acrylic sealer., I´ve been trying to get it on various distributors but they´re telling me that Jesmonite Company has discontinued this product. Did you know about this ? is there an alternative you can recommend? Thank you so much,, Cheers from Barcelona.
Thank you so much from sharing 🌸🙏🏼🌸And cant you get a seeler that dry up glossy?
Thank you x I am not sure yet .. sort of have not explored the possible sealers but hopefully soon x
Love the tips!! How long would you say to wait before applying the first layer of sealant? Appreciate the content! Life saver!!
Heyyy lovely .... the advice is to wait 24 hours ....
I usually do it within an hour 🤣🤣🤣 but yes wait 24 for them to fully cure x
Thank you for sharing this! If you seal the jesmonite with acrylic sealant will it be waterproof...like if you’re making a soap dish? Are there different sealants available? Is there a sealant available that would give a sheen/shine?
heyyy lovely ... yes they are waterproof with the sealant used in this video x you might be able to find an acrylic gloss spray .. x but so far I have not used anything that gives Jesmonite a super glossy shine ... My latest video is using an amazing wax ... it has a shine but not gloss like resin x
Heyyy Claire, I'm also looking into Jesmonite ofcourse and I saw another youtuber using just Mica powder with it, add the mica to the jesmonite powder and stir it really well until it's all in the powder you can make it light or darker with mica powder what you like, and then just do the rest like you do with jesmonite, someone made it baby blue and the trinket was really pretty and you did not saw any mica powder that was not disolved in her piece, so this gives you a lot more color options 🤗 hope you can try it out also byeeee
That's such a great tip!
Yesss I have seen much used in the powder .. I dont find it as vibrant .. but definitely good to be able to use other things for sure xxx thankyou so much xxxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner that's true the jesmonite colors are indeed more vibrant and thank you so much @Live sleep resin 💕
Hello, thank you for doing all your tests, just started and no idea what i would have done without them. There really isn't many tutorials out there.
I was wondering if you found a way to seal without the brush lines? I tried a sponge and a brush and still got lines.
Hey Sian.. lately I have been sealing mine with a makeup sponge working super super fast ! First coat has to have to 10% water mixed in.... it seems to be working well x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Thank you!! I shall give that a go :) xx
you can probably do a wet sand to minimize brush strokes then put on another coat.
Thats is a great idea.. I think I really must invest in some foam rollers or brushes at some point x
Amazing video and so informative...... I've seen your other videos in this series and they are super informative!!!!! Can I please ask something? The second coat needs to be diluted too or can be applied neat? Thanks xx
Heyyyy lovely .... thankyou so much xxxx yes the first coat is diluted.... the second cost is neat. Xxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Thank you sooooooo much. You're entire series has inspired me to do this xx. You're truly an encouragement for me.... Thanks for all your input xx
@@rachanakhule6535 thankyou so much xx I am so happy you love it ❤❤❤ you will enjoy Jesmonite
Thank you for this video! Do you prefer this technique to that with beeswax?
Hi dear 😍🥰 these are absolutely beautiful 😍 I love this type of work but not able to do 😍🥰
Heyyyy lovely xxx thankyou so much xx so sorry you are not able to do them xxx
Does jesmonite scratch easily. I've been using an industrial plaster of paris type material for last 5 years but recently started adding pigment to it so as to create a concrete effect. The problem I'm having is once dry the plaster is quite chalky and scratches easily and I can't find anything to protect it from scratches and scuffs. Without adding pigment scratches were not noticeable so was thinking of switching to jesmonite but wondered how search resistant jesmonite is? Is it possible to also apply mod podge on the top as a sealer or would the mod podge peel off?
Hi Davey
... no it does not appear to scratch easily at all ... you will need an Acrylic sealer. Mod Podge won't do it i feel 😁😁
I appreciate you ♥️ I’m in South Africa and we don’t have this information readily available.
Thank you so much Nicole xxx ❤❤ that means a lot
hi claire, ive watched a few of your videos now and love your enthusiasm and helpful guides, what i wanted to ask was with regards to sealing jesmonite to make it water proof, can i also use either a spray lacquer for example i already have some plastikote clear lacquer spray, i also have some polyurethane varnish, i got to to make my own baubles this year, i also have wax that came with a kit that i got but wasnt sure if the wax would make it water proof, i have a coaster kit that ive already made up, if you could please advise if you know the answer and thank you in advance from a fellow Clare x
Heyyyyyy Clare ... thankyoooo I'm glad you like my videos ❤️❤️ the best sealer I have found so far is the Acrylic sealer from Jesmonite. Water rolls right off ... the thing to remember is that it makes them water resistant. You'd not want to put AC100 in a very damp environment long term. Coasters and placemats work fine wipe clean only etc .. xx wax is easy to apply and gives a great finish however I don't find wax as scratch proof as the acrylic sealer. It's worth running a couple tests for yourself with the sealers you have just to see xx
Hi, love your videos. Would it work with soap dishes? Or would you not recommend ac100 for soap dish? Thank you
heyyy lovely ... I have done a video on soap dishes ... it works as long as they are sealed good ... and then sealed every year ... AC730 would be best for soap dishes x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you so much for your reply xx
Having a real issue with acrylic sealer tried diluting down by 20% but still get streaks! Even tried wax and get stains with that! How do you seal your products now if you don't mind me asking? thank you huge fan of your jesmonite videos!!
Heyyyy lovely ... now I am using a kitchen sponge. A cheap kitchen sponge from Tesco .. I am doing a really thin wipe over with the sponge and it works great no streaks x With jesmonite sealer
Thanks for this amazing experience and informations 😍😍😍 may I ask what do you mean by tacky 😁😁😅? And how much time between the two coats should I wait? + you mentioned that it’s better to use a sponge instead of a brush so that it doesn’t leave streaks on the surface, but did Jesmonite Ltd told you to use a brush ?
I would be grateful if you answered me
And again
Thanks a lot ❤️❤️
Heyyyy lovely ... I waited about one minute between coats. Tacky means Sticky ... but it never did get Sticky. Jesmonite never told me to use a brush no .. xx I just watched a couple of their you tube videos where they used a brush so I though I needed to.
Thank you so much for the very informative video..AGAIN!!🙏🙏
I really wanna(need) start doing this for a living , I went crazy and spent around 2000 euros on molds, colors, materials, resin, jesmonite 🤪🤪... I even got the silhouette cameo 4 . I need your help, what do you think it's best at the moment, the jesmonite homeware, resin homeware or resin jewelries. I still can't decide 😵😵 and I'm honestly too scared to start 😨😨
Heyyyy Sevsen .. wow you really went for it ! that is incredible ! I would say try both and see which one works for you .. but Jesmonite is quicker and ECO so it depends what you're going for x I will also say that Jesmonite has sold out across the Globe and it has a 6 month SHLEF LIFE ... so you don't get long before it goes off x
To prevent the lines, could you dip it in a bath of the coating then let it drip dry ?
Hey Gary, I wouldn't risk it to be honest I can imagine that would create a thick skin and become peeling almost ... :)
@@ClairesCraftyCorner I sprayed polyeurathane clear coat on a small Jes thing i made the other day and it worked quite well, not sure if it's properly sealed though.
Hiya Claire - how long did you wait for the jesmonite to cure before applying the sealant?
Heyyyy Maham ... 24 hours wait xx
Thank you for the video, I was wondering how strong is the sealer against oil, say like fragrance oil. Thank you
heyyy lovely xx I am glad you found it helpful ... I am not sure I have not tested it .. however ideally you would not let liquids/oils sit on these x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you for responding, I was just looking into details.
May I just ask, is there any way of sealing without getting fine lines from the dried sealant. I'm currently using a soft brush. X
Heyyyy lovely, yes I have found a better way ... a cheap kitchen sponge scourer ... but the sponge bit ! The ones you get 10 in a pack from Tesco ... wash them immediately after or they will dry rock hard 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@ClairesCraftyCorner brilliant thank you. I'll give it a try
Love your Jesmonite series, honestly amazing 👏 do you have any links for brushes or sponged that would be best used to apply the sealant? Also do you just measure out sealant ans then add 10% water of the amount? And for the second coat you don't add water to the sealant? TIA xxx
Heyyyy Amy ... thank you so much .. I have links to the sponges I now use in my Amazon Storefront .. and yes the advice is 10% water with first coat but I honestly just eyeballed it .. I didnt measure x 2nd coat needs to be no water at all xx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you, super helpful. Sorry, how can I find your amazing storefront for those links lol, I can't find it xx
@@amyhume8364 heyyyyy lovely .... ohhhh I may not have linked it in this mini series ... but If you click on my latest video (don't feel you have to watch the video ) ha ha and check out the description box below the video xxxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Ahh thanks so much 😁 oh so they are just like make up sponges, fab xxx
@@amyhume8364 yeh literally they are makeup sponges xx you need any high density brush xx
Love this!!..Do you sand before seal?
thank yoooo xx yes I only sand sharp edges ... nothing else needs sanding x
can we use any other Acrylic sealer like Mod podge spray ? or should be Jesmonite?
hey lovely, if Mod Podge is an Acrylic sealer then you can use it x
Hi Claire, hope you're doing well. Congratulations on 40k 🤗
Can you tell me how long do we have to wait before we start the sealing process?
Hey lovely thankyou ... oh no did I did not even say this in the video ? How rubbish am I honestly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sealing needs to happen 24 hours later when it is fully cured xxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner great thank you! 🤗
Hello, is there a product to make jesmonite shiny?
Can you tell me the best way to clean a plastic mixing bowl after mixing Jesmonite in the bowl please> Thanks! Your videos are so informative. Thank you x
Hey Gillian, I usually scrape as much as I can out of the bowl and wash it in a bucket of water in my bath. I then pour the water away through a sieve. This will trap any pieces. Then I allow the jesmonite at the bottom of the bucket to cure and chip it out x Hope this helps x
Hi Claire, any advice how to seal a candle?
heyyyy lovely .. I have not yet made candles I am going to though .. I do know that people use the sealer for that Jesmonite .. but I have also heard that people use the AC730 sealer on the AC100 too .. I need to run some tests x
Hi Claire, I've seen in comments you use a make up sponge now. Might be a silly question but how do you apply it? Dab motion or swipe motion? Thank you!
Heyyyy lovely... I use a rubbing motion ... a really quick rubbing motion ... yesterday I used a kitchen sponge... worked even better ! Rubbed it on ... waited 10 seconds rubbed with the dry side .... no marks at all ... then repeated an hour later for 2nd coat x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you so much for your quick response! Off to tesco to get my sponges now!! Such an easy material to work with until you get to the sealer 🤣🙈

Can AC730 sealer be used with AC100 base cement? I can’t find AC100 sealer anywhere 💖
heyyyyy lovely ... I believe it can yes ... I have had a few people say they have tried it ... I have not tried it x
Hi claire, do you know if the sealant you used the same as the resin8 ‘protect-it’ ? :)
Heyyy lovely ... yes I believe so ... they do the same job xxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you for the reply! I’ve been using the protect-it but it doesnt look like the same finish as yours! The yellow on yours looks bright and really lovely, my colours are still quite dull😬 The consistency of the sealant looks different too so I might have to give a different one a go to see. Do you know anything about using a ‘wax’ sealant? I’ve seen people talk about it. Sorry for the questions! Love the videos, thank you so much for showing your journey :) xx
@@whatalittledreamer ahhhh girl no worries at all ... yes yes I have used a wax sealant for this Wednesdays video .... its soooooo nice and I prefer it to the Jesmonite sealant... Gabby Kere on Instagram sent me some to try and I love it !
@@ClairesCraftyCorner ahhh yay! cant wait to watch :)
What over acrylic sealant is it possible to use ? At the moment, no retailer in Europe as the Jesmonite sealant :'(

Have you made and jesmonite pieces with a shiny finish ?? Would.love.to.see this
heyyyy lovely .. no not yet x it is a very MATTE product x so it would need a gloss spray or resin top coat x

Hi claire, just wondering, did you seal one side at a time?
heyyy lovely .. I only seal the tops mostly .. but yes for AC100 I do one at a time.
Did the water mark dry out after a while or has it remained visible?
It has dried out now xxx
Fab, my mum loves the feel of fresh plaster so thought jesmonite would be ideal for me to use to make something for her and didn't want to spoil the feel by sealing it but didn't want it to be ruined after one use! Loving the series x
. I made a silly mistake by attempting to sand the jesmonite trays immediately. The terrazzo ‘tiles’ that I made turned out so thick that I need a heavy duty puffer to sand down the rough surface. Any suggestions? 😔
Ohhhh I always sand immediately too ... the best way is to start with a low grit and work up to a higher. I usually start at 240 it isnt that low ... but then i go up to 400 odd ... to get a smooth surface xx
