If you don't have an outside hose, use a spatula to scrape out as much as possible, fill the bowl half way with hot water and use an old kitchen sponge to clean as you pour this small amount of water & cement into dirt, rock mulch (it sinks into the dirt) or a public drain. I checked with my city & they said concrete contractors do this on every job.

Suggestion for the leaf trays: You could try setting them on an old cookie sheet before pouring.

Hey there! I haven't made a true white with cement-all. You can add up to 5% of pigment powder before you start possibly compromising the integrity of your vessel. I haven't ever added that much, so I'm not sure how white the outcome is.

Hello how r u.i need your answer that my question is can I use any type of cement for candle jar making?

Hi there. It takes some research and testing to find a mixture. You can't just use cement. You need cement + something else, whether it be sand, or another aggregate. I'm not the most versed on creating my own mixture, as the medium I use (Cement-All) is cement premixed with fine sand. I would recommend checking out some videos on UpVibe Candle's channel. Jai has awesome videos regarding this.

Actually modern craft labs JUST posted on their Instagram that they are now shipping to Europe. Only on their Etsy though, not their website for now.

does the varnish make the concrete scratch resistant?

I wouldn't say it completely prevents scratches. It does help though.

Thank you! No? The mold supports come with the mold when you purchase it.

Hey i have a question. I keep getting these white dots on my vessels. Im currently using tap water for the mixture. Do you think the problem is the water or maybe im not mixing properly?
@calafiacandleco Жыл бұрын
It could be the tap water. Are you experiencing the dots without adding any pigments or paints?

Do you use a oil release agent on your molds before using? If so, what do you use and how? thanks
