- Hey my lovelies .. In this video I am showing you the method of breaking or snapping your Jesmonite and placing it back in the mould (after 24 hour cure) to add more Jesmonite. The original filming did not go to plab .. when does it ? ha ha
I decided to then keep that footage and show you just how strong Jesmonite it .. This way it can hopefully answer your questions about strength.

Hi Clair, A crafter of nigh on seventy years here but an absolute beginner to Jesmonite. It was seeing your videos that introduced me to this medium and this morning I took delivery of my first tub of Jesmonite. I can't wait to try it out and I have learnt so much watching your channel. Thanks for all you do and I'm very much looking forward to all your future stuff be it resin, Jesmonite or anything else you put your hand to.
heyyyy Christopher thank you ... sorry for the delay I am just catching up on comments. So glad you got some I hope you are enjoying it x
Howling here! 😂This is brilliant. When you remember that Jesmonite was originally designed as a building material it makes sense that it should be so tough, but that 20-minute sweet spot is definitely the place to break! ❤️
Ohhhhh it really is .... I never realised how much I erm ..... swear .... I had to cut so much film out and of course it would have never been left in 🤣🤣🤣 but still 🙈🙈🙈 it felt indestructible!
Smashing video Claire! And lovely results too.
Haaaa it really was a smashing time had haaaa thanks so much Yvonne ❤❤
I just started to work with jesmonite and messed up one of the pieces - demoulded too quick and it snapped but this video helped me fix it and make something new. Thank you!!!
Heyyyyy lovely .. yes this is the beauty of broken pieces .. they can still be used x
That looked like so much fun to mix and match the pieces! When they finally deigned to snap... I especially loved the yellow and black plate.
Thanks so much Mizz .... yes it was fun xx and the Black and Yellow are definitely a bold contrast xx
Love it! I can’t wait to try all these ideas.x
Heyyyy I am so glad you do x ❤❤❤
Fabulous and useful as always Claire 👌
Thanks so much Sam xx ❤
Thank you Claire for my chuckle, and the process to finished product was very informative 👏👏😍
Thanks so much Lyn ❤❤ so glad you liked it .. I was losing my mind at one point like 🙈🙈
I’m loving how the plate turned out with the matte black/yellow combo 😃 what a fun and informative video xx
Thanks so much Annie ❤❤
Love the yellow and black Claire, such a neat idea.
Thanks so much Patricia ❤❤ Such striking colours together aren't they xx
Love the bright yellow. Great video as always hun. Love hearing your laugh too 👌😀
Thanks girl ... nearly scrapped it all to start again ... and thought nope ! Now its time to do the smash test ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are amazing! Such a great work thank you
thank you so much xxx
I really liked the way the yellow seeped under the black, it looked so cool and totally unique. I will have to try this at some future stage. Love it 😀
Heyyyy Linz .... I thought it looked cool too before sanding xxx
😂😂😂 you crack me up, pun totally intended!! Love those crisp lines! Great test, great results, well done. Xx
Thanks so much Sis ❤❤❤ love you x
You are a pleasure to listen to, and to look at :) and you are super skilled- kind from Copenhagen
Heyyy Mego... So glad you like my accent 😁😁 glad you found the video helpful
Beautiful as always xxx
Thanks girl ❤❤
awesome idea looks great
Thanks Jeanne ... its a fun technique xx
Love the plate! So unique! X
Thanks so much Kerry xx ❤❤
Claire these are amazing! You are always coming up with new ideas to do jesmonite. You are an inspiration. Waiting patiently for the states to sell it here. 🖤🧡💛
Heyyyyyyy Johnnie .... I wish I could tell you this was my original idea .... but people have asked me to show them how to do the snap method as they have seen it in many places 😍 but no actual tutorials if that makes sense xxx ❤❤
Johnnie, you can get aqua resin in the states in lieu of jesmonite.
@@tastykeish oh thanks I will check into that
Great stuff!
Thanks Miley xx
Sooo beautiful 🤩
Well done again Claire great mind great ideas thanks for sharing these nicely ideas which helps a lot thanks bye until your next demo. Bye.
Heyyyy Laurence .... I am happy you found the video helpful xxx 😁😁
Just started using jesominte. I like using concrete but jesominte is fas and so much fun. Thanks for the tips.
Heyyyy Cath ... I love concrete too but really only used Quick set cement.... I love the Industrial look of it 😍😍😍
This is so funny 😂 thank you for ur tips!
Heyyyy Liana thank you so much ❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣 nothing ever goes smoothly here
These look fantastic. The square lines are very striking. I'm surprised at how little the new pour ran under the already set pieces.
Thanks lovely ... yes I think holding them down for a short time helped x but couldn't do that with the yellow and Black x
I guess that’s why they make buildings out of Jesmonite. Great video xx
🤣🤣 exactly that Chrissy .. xxx
I love the yellow and black x
Heyyyy thank you so much xx ❤❤❤
Hi Claire! Newbie to jesmonite here and your channel is such a great source for learning different methods and hacks! I'm really drawn to this method especially. Have you since found a way for the poured color not to sip under the bits? Maybe applying pressure somehow?
Heyyyy lovely, yes you can place items on one side ... can of drink food or something a tad heavy
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Thank you so much, Claire!!
Your videos are so helpfull !!!
Can you please make a video on how to make an ombré effect 🙏🏽
Heyyyy Les .... ohhh that sounds fun .. I will try for sure x
Ohh I love this technique!! I love the sound of the snap, is that weird? You could do a ‘snap’ asmr video with that! I would totally watch it too lol.😂😂 great job lady!! I love how you always have a ‘what not to do section’ lol cracks me up every time!! No one want to see it all turn out perfectly ‘every time’ hahaha 🤣
Heyyyy girl thank you so much ... oooo a dedicated ASMR video would be hilarious ! I would do that for you haaaaa
Hi Claire, Jesmonite newbie here, loving how informative your videos are! I love the look of these snap trays but my question is does it make them weaker once they've cured? have you found any problem with them breaking along that snap line after the second colour has cured?
heyyyy lovely .. no I have not found any problems at all x Jesmonite sticks to Jesmonite really well ! solid as a rock !! Resin also sticks to Jesmonite .. just know that Jesmonite does not stick to Resin x That will snap apart xx
Came across this after trying to figure out what an Instagram accounts trays were made of. Mystery solved. I love your videos and thanks for the apology on the sound of the sanding. I definitely turned my volume down for that 😆 brilliant results though on the sanding. I suggest that lovely water sound edit if you need to sand again.
Thanks Jessica .. so glad it helped you ❤❤ and yes .. a sound over would have been great !🤣🤣 Next time for sure xx
Very interesting, its possible use jesmonite in a closed 2 part mold!?? Or pour in plaster molds?
Gorgeously done!!! Nice for choosing your main colour as black as it goes with most other colours!! ❤️😘. Just wondering for the yellow plate how did you caculate the jesmonite required 🤨🙃
Thank you so much lovely ... I agree it goes with everything ! I didnt actually work out how much was needed 🙈🙈 i just had another mould to hand if I made too much x
haha just got a broken piece today. Think I didn't mix it well enough, I can see the crack and yup it just cracked after I de-mould, gonna give it a go with your method tmr! Thanks Claire! :)
Heyyyy Lawrence thanks so much I am glad you found this helpful .. I sure have had a few things break too .. usually when I add too much pigment or when I de-mould too fast x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Thanks for all the tips! ye its so tempting to de-mould hahaha opening the Christmas present 😂 . but I didn't know adding too much pigment can make it break too 🤔, I only notice adding powder pigment can make the mix a little less than what I initially measure.
Also-what causes the marking/defects? Are those whitish marks from water leeching out? And do those usually appear near the bottom side of the mold?
Ues thanks brilliant
Hi Claire, it looks super nice ! I really like the yellow one.
I was wondering if Jesmonite would work for candles jars. Have you tried it ?
Thanks !
heyyyy lovely ... yes they work for candles x Jesmonite is fireproof xx
Thanks Claire for your answer !
Can Ac100 be stained after it's cured? (I'm assuming it's sold in white)
Very nice video, by the way may I kindly ask if fuloy cured jesmonite tray/coaster can withstand heat when the tray/coaster is used for lit candles?Thanks!
ha ha thanks so much Terry x
Hii claire i love the styles
I love the Full black the most 👏🏼🌸
Im from switzerland and im using josemite aswell but i never never never het is this black i came only Go Antrazit but i want it in a BLACK like you . Wich black Pigment do you use ? King regards 🍀
Heyyyy Lara ... I use the Jesmonite Pigment from Jesmonite. You can add 2% this will give you a true Black x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you so much i will try it soon as possoble 😃
I have a tip to reduce seeping 😁 u need small weights like you used to get with old scales and place them on top of you snap pieces 😁 hope that helps xx
Heyyyy that is such an amazing tip thank you xxx ❤❤ it really will help!
@@ClairesCraftyCorner you are so welcome my luv xxx
@@sheelaghrowbottom4117 ❤❤
Hello, thanks for that. Are you using AC100?
Heyyy lovely .. yes this is AC100
I've been smashing jesmonite this evening. My daughter-in-law managed to snap a phone holder I'd made a few weeks ago, so I've been smashing it up to use in something!
It obviously was not as thick as this!!!
I smashed it with an 8lb hammer on my table as we were chatting, and some pieces still need doing but I'll do those on concrete! Lol
Heyyyyy lovely ... I am so sorry for the delayed response. I logged on this morning to reply to comments as I always do ... and I see this from 5 months ago ? I have no idea why it wasnt shown before x
Do you have any advice on how to clean your mixing bucket? Do you reuse them?
hey Charli ... yes absolutely wash and reuse ! Jesmonite is Eco Friendly so can be washed out. I usually wash mine straight away in the bath ... if the jesmonite has dried out then I tap it out of the container and wash afterwards x
Do you mind if I ask how you achieved the strong black colour? I tried but it only turned navy. xx
Heyyyy lovely ... yes I just added more pigment .. this is my number one question I get with Jesmonite .. the trick is to add more Black and stir .. add some more and stir ... the danger is adding too much ! but even though I add a lot of Black it still cures in the end .. it might take 40 mins befre you can de mould so a slightly longer time x
These are just so striking. Are these dishwasher proof? We need a new dining set, tempted to give it a go!!!
Heyyyyyy girl... No they are not food safe or dishwasher proof. ❤❤😢
@@ClairesCraftyCorner ahhh that's a shame!
@@LiveSleepResin yeh 😢😢 x they are water resistant when sealed ....can be used in garden etc ... but defo not dishwasher proof
Hi lovely!
May I ask why should we wait 24 hours before putting it back to the mold?
Heyyy Rafah ... yes it is best to .. or they might still be curing and create sweat patches x
Hi did you use Jesmonite AC730 or AC100 here? Thank you
Hi Faye, this is AC100 x
Lots of work but very lovely result
Thanks Domi.... yes a lot of work ... I cannot say I would choose thos technique often lol
I can snap my AC100 plant pot lids, they are rings that are 2cm tall, 20cm wide and the ring is 2cm in width.
And you can snap it with your hands???? Worlds strongest man award 🤟🤟🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Is that immediately after de mould ? Or an hour later like these ?
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Yes but it is a ring, not a fairly solid block like you had, that's a hard shape to snap!
And it had been sat there for days so well cured.
@@GaryMcKinnonUFO impressive still 🤟🤟🤟
How do we make sure that ours doesn’t snap like cookie crumbles ? 😆 Also, how did you estimate how much mix to make to fill in the cracks at 13:21? Thank you
Hey the best way to not have them crumble is to not use too much pigment x Im afraid I do not measure with the second half I just make enough for two trays and use it to fill .. really depends how much you break off and need to fill x
May I ask which version of Jesmanite were you using in this please, was it ac100 or ac300? Only reason I ask is that I'm interested in the strength of it and would probably look to use ac100 which has a higher resin content 😊
Hi Stuart .. I was using AC100 I have not tried Ac300 xx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner many many thanks for the quick reply, you've gained a subscriber! 🤗
@@stuartcommon4651 ahhhh thanks Stuart that means a lot. It can sometimes take 2 days to reply but j am still on a 100% reply rate. 😁😁😁
Could you do the other half in resin?
heyyy lovely .. yes you could .. you just need to prepare for even more seepage underneath Resin gets in to the tiniest of spaces x
I know I’m late but this would be a cool way to do a faux kintsugi. Just glue it back together with gold jesmonite. I like these big pattens. Very 80’s with the bold color.
An easy way to snap hard pieces is with an awl and a hammer. It has got to be insanely hard for it to not break.
ohhh that would be a cool way for sure :) yeh it was tough for me .. always is .. although I beliweve someone commented down below they can break it with their bare hands no problem ... so it might just be me haaaaaaa
Hi can you do a Video on how to get rid of the water marks please. If you leave your piece in the mold for longer they start to sweat. So how to get rid of that?
Heyyyy lovely ... I am not sure how to get rid of them ... but I will see what works x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you so much for getting back. Also love all the videos you come of with, and how candid you are.
@@asthapatel3671 thankyou 😍😍❤ I am glad you like them x
The orange and yellow colour makes me think of the 80s. You made me laugh when you couldn't break them.. Nice effect
Ohhh yes 80's very much agree 😍😍😍 yeh I honestly was gonna scrap the video but figured it would answer a few questions lol
What’s the number of sand paper?🙏🏻
I start from 240
Stunning work but must admit I'm not keen on sanding either lol.
Thanks Maria ... yeh if I can get away without sanding I will !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get why you waited until the shards fully cured before adding more of the uncured resin. If it's still partially uncured, the fresh resin should bind chemically to the partially cured material.
You have to wait .... or they might sweat in the moulds if you put them back in too soon.. It is Jesmonite.
Is it heavy? Is it same as white cement?
Heyyyy Dhanya it is so so heavy ! heavier than cement x
I had a customers tray arrive broken, and I’ve no idea how it could of happened, especially as she said the box wasn’t damaged! Would of taken a lot of force
Should say, it was sent a few days after making it so was very set!
Oh noooo :( I am so sorry that happened ! I have been lucky so far with a tonne of Eco Bubble wrap x
Ah i found it
yay ! it was so hard to break lol
??????? 😎🌻😕
????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you alright Dad ? You got a question ?
You need a karate leccione😁😁😅
🤣🤣🤣 I really do
Hahahahaha

Hello Lovely Lady XXX
Heyyyy Terry 😁😁🙌🙌
