An ALTERNATIVE To RESIN? | FINALLY Trying RESINCRETE.

[@donnachampney542]

this just looks like someone has rebranded plaster with a clever name so they can sell it at an inflated price, may want to do a comparison between this and plaster to see if there is actually a difference.

[@Em22-wtf]

I can def say plaster of paris takes a long time to cure and if you mess with it before it cures, it breaks super easily and not so easy to just glue back together. I use it to make small items for fake bakes, like tiny, but easy shape toppings (little candies, etc) and I was thinking maybe this would be a good alt to Plastr od Prs but maybe not if its expensive. Im starting to think the UV resin might be a better alternative and I have a UV light for nails already, lol! And with the UV stuff, it comes mixed. Im just not sure if its molds/demolds bc I havent really looked it up. I have resin that I bought to try, but Ive been so hesitant bc I see so many people talk about how they have problems or dont like using resin =/

[@realjettlag]

@@Em22-wtf Don't be afraid to experiment.

[@ControlledWrinkles]

I hope that the instructions include a warning about washing left over portions down the sink, where they will cure and clog your pipes.

[@Topdoggie7]

​@@Em22-wtfDepends on the brand and make. I've had hour cures and day cures.

[@Topdoggie7]

It feels like a scam. Resin can be finicky but this is just bad.

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

Ummmmm just my 3¢.... BUT ... Not the first to mention this , but it definitely looks like is plaster!!.... As it has a large amount of plaster to water ratio and ounce mixed the working time is minimal!!... So if it has a higher upcharge and the product is just being renamed ... Just go get plaster I guarantee its way way cheaper!!

[@resincrafts_]

My opinion too

[@craftydemon529]

I ordered some of this but haven't used it yet, but I also have plaster, so I might need to try comparing the two sometime

[@realjettlag]

I've seen others use it and carve it and it seems like it behaves just like plaster. It'd be interesting to see thorough comparisons between Resincrete and plaster.

[@bridgwll]

Resin CRETE. means like concrete.

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

@@bridgwll Well I understand what the name is trying to imply what the product is like!!!! But the issue being if its actually more like or just like plaster of paris ....That will not have anything close to the strength and durability that Concrete has!!??!! .... And if its just a marked up version of something like plaster of paris, then that is the other issue people need to consider!!!!

[@charlottecobain6986]

I think if there’s any resins in this at all, it’s a negligible amount. This really really seems like plaster under a different and more expensive name.

[@magnumchaos]

I believe you're right. It certainly exhibits a lot of properties of a plaster or plaster subset.

[@bluelagoon4]

Exactly! While watching the video, I was like "wait... isn't this just plaster???" then JB mentions it at the end of the video, which confirms our thoughts since she tested it. What the hell XD

[@tetsuokin7380]

Looks more like Jesmonite with a different name

[@theswych]

Looks very much like plaster moreso than clear resin. Even the leaf tips that broke off reminds me of working with plaster. But I imagine it's a lot pricier. How would you compare the feel of it to regular plaster? Thanks for the video!

[@JSGilbert]

So, I’ve used this and the dry and wet stick together very well. However, even if you think you’ve got the color exactly the same, you’re still going to see a bit of a line where the two meet. This won’t be replacing my regular resin anytime soon, but it definitely has its place. It’s a great way to quickly see if you’re homemade molds are any good and for making prototypes.

[@LilDirt12]

To get molds back to shape use warm water. And to stretch working time of mix use ice cold water. Helps slow set off time.

[@diedregarrard8013]

Look up Steve McDonald Arts and Crafts. He has some good videos on Resincrete and combining it and resin together. He also explains that it takes 24 hours (I think) for the resincrete to fully harden so you have to be careful until then.

[@Bunyip_Studios]

This looks very much like Crystalcal R, an extremely hard casting plaster. You can get a 25kg bag for less than £40 in the UK

[@FaeSparrow]

Omg Thank you! I was looking for hard casting plaster, and Crystalcal R seems amazing.

[@Stuck_on_pause]

It seems like plaster but has been renamed so it appears at first look that its a new product when its not.

[@mrscb5303]

This looks like “faster plaster” a craft I did back in 90’s. Not that it’s a bad thing but certainly not a replacement for resin in any way at all!! Thanks for doing this video so we could see before buying!

[@amiedavis5257]

Can you possibly set the white coaster in sunlight for a week and do a side by side photo and see if it has yellowed at all?

[@JBKonsCreations]

I can do that! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@jst1man]

Thanks for the share. I haven't used this product, but i make my own simular to it and they look the same. I use fine concrete and plaster of paris, then add epoxy resin into it, making sure the concrete and plaster are completely mixed 1st. Then add Epoxy to it. It has the same effect and I'll bet the same durability. Cure times will very.

[@perrys5954]

Interesting! What ratio of Concrete to Plaster of Paris to Water do you use? Gonna have to give that a try! I've always used PoP the fairly standard way and the only variance is how much water to use depending on the thickness I wanna work with. Thanks for inspiring me to think further outside the box :)

[@TheClairemyst]

Wait WHAT?! I need a video or instructions please? Don't leave us hanging!

[@pobbrett3244]

Try mixing the pigment with the water beforehand that way you don’t have to worry about the mix time, I assumed the wax was for mould release rather than finishing.

[@Ron-Ayres]

Nope, you were right - the wax is for finishing it. You can buff it to a sheen and it toughens up the finish.

[@Cscscscscs4344]

The beauty of resin is the shine and the transparency. Resincrete has none of that and is hence no alternative at all

[@slashbat2375]

If this wasn't just straight up plaster, I'd argue that you're wrong on that. I wouldn't buy a shiny or transparent resin bjd, the beauty of resin is the different types and uses

[@silvsevie]

@@slashbat2375 I translucent, shiny bjd would be gorgeous for the right project tho.

[@fibyfox]

@@slashbat2375 It's about the title, "is it a good alternative for resin", so for me definitively not. Nothing to see with resin. Impossible to have a clear transparency for exemple.. Now, if we dont think about the title, it's a fun product for other projects

[@uniqueresinartbymarlies3292]

I have been working with ResinCrete off and on for about 2 months now. I don’t measure it - just eyeballing the consistency. Depending on how intricate my mold is, the more water I use. The runnier it is the easier it picks up any design in the mold. Also, I wait at least one hour before I demold. This is especially important if you have some delicate molds. Another tip - I never sand these pieces. If necessary, I use my deburring tool and smooth it out with a sponge under running water. It works like a charm.

[@CafeVampire]

I use Rockite, and it looks like it gives similar results. Doesn't take well to pigment though. The strawberry mold it so cute!

[@kishormodha677]

Hands down one of the best comment sections I've ever seen. Everyone seems so interested in the content it almost feels like a big group project if that makes sense definitely subbing

[@miswelch1]

I have worked with Resin Crete since it came out & it take a few days for it to cure completely & yes it will brake if it falls on the floor because it is like ceramic.

[@scootermom1791]

So is it just a hyped up version of plaster of Paris like other commenters have stated?

[@AsAboveISoBelow]

You mean plaster.

[@marshallgatten6465]

It’d be great to cast that hexagon in resin to have one of each, then start drop testing them onto concrete at increasing heights to compare breakability. I’m guessing the Resincrete would break by three feet up and that resin might make it to six.

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

YES!! I was really hoping she would drop one of those hearts onto the floor, to see if it broke!!

[@Topdoggie7]

Resin tends to last a lot higher than that for me but ResinCrete totally breaks at three feet.

[@regannoble8947]

Yeah it looks like an alternative plaster of Paris. I wish you would have painted the seeds on the strawberry. I want to know how paint would be absorbed.

[@JBKonsCreations]

I definitely paint some in my next video! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@prempremglamourz1]

They all came out nice but it looks like cement 😜, hope it won’t break when dropped. I have never use it but I’ve seen a video of a similar thing call Jesmonite. Well done Jessica. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@JBKonsCreations]

Yes I've heard of jesmonite but its SO expensive...at least it used to be. I was thinking of doing another video and maybe doing a drop test. I do have that half strawberry... haha.

[@fredericapanon207]

Alexandre Chappel has done a few videos on Jesmonite.

[@risunokairu]

For remolding, get an air compressor and blow some compressed air into the mold. It will help quickly release your items.

[@mableday2167]

Thanks you so much for trying ResinCrete . I was very curious about this mix, how it drying and looking

[@Cajunkaty]

I’ve been using Resincrete for awhile and I really like it. I’ve tried 3 different kinds and I prefer it over the other two eco-pours. I’ve mad all kinds of things. It should not be demolded too quickly for deeper pours and leave the delicate things like the strawberry topper in for a little longer. Also you shouldn’t wax or paint till the next day to give it plenty of time to cure completely. I also use wax on some things but other things that I paint or tattoo no wax of course and also use a spray varnish on a lot of my pieces. Good luck. Ps I use it more than resin because I live in a house without an extra room so the Resin Crete is safer for me and my dog.

[@the_red_bones]

hey, what kinds of paint did you use to paint it? i watched another video and someone used craft acrylic paint (Folk Art i think) and it didn't stick to it

[@gallery318th]

I really like how these look!! Never heard of this product. Looks like people are commenting that it's just plaster but I never thought to use that in molds.... so I learned a couple things from this video. Thanks!! 😊

[@jayelleart]

I’ve used Resincrete quite a bit. It’s very breakable. I only use it when I can top it with resin. I’ve used it to make phone grips, key chains etc. and covered it with uv resin. I don’t have the wax but from my experience, I would wait 24 before waxing it unless the directions say otherwise. It’s very smooth. I love the finish. I just wish it was stronger. I dropped a trinket that was about 3/4” thick and it broke in two (no air bubbles). And it was dropped on laminant flooring. I can’t imagine how it would do on ceramic lol Just an fyi, you can paint it after the fact. I haven’t found a pigment that works as I want it to. Jesmonite is much much better in strength than Resincrete but it is a bit harder to work with because it’s thick and cures really fast. Isn’t it strange how if feels really cold once it’s out of the mold? It goes to room temperature after a day of sitting. I’m thinking it the water that evaporates.

[@JBKonsCreations]

aw that’s a shame it is breakable. I was going to do a drop test with the half strawberry I ended up with the first go haha. 🤔 I LOVE the feel of it. 🤣 So silky smooth.👌🏻

[@charlottesmom]

That sounds very much like plaster of paris....

[@ModestGirl79]

This looks just like plaster...is there something I am missing? It seems like a great addition to resin but as you said there are some applications it just wouldn't work for.

[@lindastowars7346]

agree the first thing i thought was plaster of paris, but did turn out real pretty

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

My guess about the colour being more intense at the top of the mold than the bottom could have been related to the dye that you're using. If you're using something alcohol or oil based it's going to have a lower density than the water it's dissolved in and will migrate to the top of the solution over time as the emulsion breaks down.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

I wonder what the items would be like if coated with epoxy resin? Would they be more durable? Small flat items and topcoating might be the easiest way to test. I would be concerned about the amount of invisible dust particles in the air. 🙊 How are you guys doing with wildfire smoke?

[@JBKonsCreations]

I want to try using it with resin next! So Ill have to see how it goes. The resincrete seems to be very absorbent so Im very curious to see what happens if I pour resin on it.🤔 Where I am is far from the fires but its really bad! The other day you could literally smell burning. Ive never experience anything like it. I heard NY has had it really bad too!😢

I recently bought white concrete and mixed it with resin and it did leave a few air bubbles. I made a medium size planter container with a coaster for it to sit on.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I have had an unopened bag of Resincrete for a few months now, just waiting for inspiration on just what project I wanna use it on. I guess my biggest concern with the product is that there isn't really all that much in a bag and the water really dissolves it from what I can tell. That brings me to a question. Having dissolved 108g of water into 360g powder about how much volume of resincrete mixture did this produce, could you guess?? I am kinda guessing not much more than 200ml?? Its a lot of product dissolved into a little bit of water. Maybe I shouldn't be internally comparing it to Plaster Of Paris where I have a great big ole bag/sack of that stuff to work with :p If you've read this far thanks for taking the time!

[@alidahart143]

Mist the inside of your mold with 99% alcohol right before pouring the epoxy resin, this breaks the surface tension on the mold and allows the epoxy resin to fill the small spaces without the tiny bubbles. The resin pushes the alcohol to the surface of the piece where it evaporates so there are no issues with the epoxy resin when it cures.

[@wandastrong1044]
