Coaster project | White cement vs Plaster of Paris | Which one is better?

[@Sandrananusheski]

The plaster is mixed differently with water and the mixture comes out of the mold as smooth as glass. The mixture is made by adding the powder to the water and mixing a little at a time until you get a thin mixture like liquid yogurt. You have to use the mixture immediately, because it hardens completely in 6-8 minutes... and it can already be removed from the mold... Drying completely to a white color takes longer and the object itself is very light...

[@BearBearCammy]

Thanks for your sharing :)

[@BearBearCammy]

I found out the issue. Not the technique or ratio. Is the powder. Thanks for your sharing.

[@flodjod]

2 parts pop 1 part water is the ratio powder into water little at a time till water cannot aborb anymore mix gently to a batter like consistansy then pour into mold it gets warm while curing once cold to touch its cured to take out of mold usaually around 3o mins... its not the pop that was at fault it was your mixing every packet of pop i have seen has these instructions

[@BearBearCammy]

@@sunnopoth so far I only use the same white cement from the same seller. The ratio for the water is always 1 part. And cement is 2 parts.

[@BearBearCammy]

@@sunnopoth I got it from my local hardware store in Malaysia.

[@shanephillips9626]

Spraying isopropyl alcohol on the top can help pop bubbles, also plaster takes longer to dry which is why it’s so cold to the touch and it will definitely break after just 24hrs. I would say about 3 days is a better base estimate for drying, but also the thicker the object the longer it takes.

[@BearBearCammy]

Thanks for sharing this. I will try it again 😃

[@jchany137]

Yes I just brake mine it’s 24 hrs only. Thank you

[@abhay3klov2laf]

Thank you for showing and explaining. Summary: POP is fragile, white cement stronger. POP is good for sculptures making, but not good for household items.

[@katrinablakesley2864]

When mixing plaster of Paris you put the water in first then add the plaster gradually. The ratio is two parts plaster to one part water . You will know when the to stop adding plaster when the water no longer absorbs the plaster when added. Good effort 😅 👍🏽

[@anitaj.naturals4758]

Thank you for your video. No matter how you mixed it and how long it takes to cure, I appreciate your effort.

[@BearBearCammy]

Thank you ☺️

[@AruSultan]

I do not know in Europe or in America what kind of plaster they sell. But, in Kazakhstan we use "smart plaster". There are already special additives that make gypsum stronger. Nobody uses pure plaster. And gypsum with additives gains strength every day until all the moisture comes out of it. And you can pull it out of the mold after 30-60 minutes.

[@BearBearCammy]

I believed every countries use the different materials. I wish i could try each of them. Thanks for sharing :)

[@appleoneill5135]

I encountered THE EXACT same thing with plaster. I was worried why is it so cold lol and breaks easily and now i know its texture. Thanks for it. I have used white cement too. 🙏🏻🖤

[@timeenuf4200]

Good comparision. As others have pointed out for the Plaster you could make it a lot more fluid. It will still dry hard and be lighter. Good to use a mold release spray even when using silicon molds. Just makes life easier.

[@BearBearCammy]

Okay thank you so much. I will try to try it again :)

[@nic7289]

plaster of paris takes about 8 days to harden i think before that is is very weak but you can demold it carefully and let it dry

[@sarahgreen8409]

While the plaster might be dried enough to demould in as little as half an hour it can take a week or two to dry completely, but it won’t b as hard as cement unless u do something like impregnating it with resin maybe

[@cachejewels8532]

It looked to me like your plaster was to thick. My plaster dries hard in 24 hours, but gets much more solid as it cures longer. It gets very hard and sounds like glass when it's tapped. Perhaps make another and then see if it breaks after a week or two of really curing all the moisture out. Hope it works better for you. Yes, they will still be like glass. I used a hammer on some little animals that had bubbles. They chipped, but didn't break or shatter.

[@BearBearCammy]

Thanks for our sharing. I will do a newer version for this comparison soon. Stay tune :)

I use plaster of Paris and can demold in 45 minutes. My mix does not look like that. 😮. It should be like yoghurt consistency. But you have to work fast (and use a whisk).

[@BearBearCammy]

I think there's quite a number of plaster of there. I need to test other brand. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@timeenuf4200]

If you add the powders to the water and let them just soak down until the water will not accept anymore, let it sit and then stir they won't harden so fast. It's the stirring that activates the hardening. You can add glue to the PoP to help it from breaking. Nice comparison.

[@BearBearCammy]

Thanks for sharing 😃

[@duckguycooks]

What kind of glue do you use to make Plaster of Paris stronger? Also are there other ways to make it stronger?

[@timeenuf4200]

In KZbin research "harden plaster paris" and you will find some ideas. Depends a lot on what you are trying to make. I generally don't use POP for individual molded pieces. Tend toward bakable clays or resin.@@duckguycooks

[@duckguycooks]

@@timeenuf4200 thank you so much for the info and the quick answer! 🦆 ❤️ I'm using white cement to make candle jars right now. I wanted to make some small statues with POP. Since you know your stuff, do you know anything about "cold porcelain casting"? I made a few jars with porcelain powder to try the material but I can't seem to find any information.

[@timeenuf4200]

giggled when you said "know your stuff" - I'm more of a KZbin addict and everything sounds fun to try so I look up a bunch of stuff. I know there are a lot of KZbin videos on making porcelain clay and working with it but didn't see anything on "casting" it. I've used store bought porcelain clay in regular silicon molds with success. Comes out super smooth. Great for statues and such. Good luck!@@duckguycooks

[@frankiewang9511]

Thanks for comparing!! Love your vid indeed

[@BearBearCammy]

Thank you! ☺️

[@SW-yx5nj]

The fail for the Plaster of Paris was not the material...it was your technique. The mixing ratio looked incorrect. The handle cracked at the same point where you added more water to the mixture. Of course that spot was weaker and broke! Also, Plaster of Paris takes longer to cure.

[@nehagadre5485]

Can we give coat of plaster on white cement items just to make more stronger

[@purpleheart363]

But maould that made with plaster of Paris are good for terracotta . It's so helpful

[@brooch15]

In fairness to plaster..it is smooth if the mixture is liquidy...nonetheless.... i😊ts like a chalk..easily breakable

[@verasn]

Well.. plaster has a more powder than water ratio, and it has a more reduced time limit until it hardens.. idk what went wrong but I’d say maybe too much water

[@vitaminh4355]

i mix german white glue into the mixture of plaster and water, works really great, makes it stronger and thick and easy to work with

[@BearBearCammy]

Ya I heard some people sharing this method too on cement. But there is issue with this plaster. Thanks for the sharing :)

[@FatimaSuleman-r9l]

What ratio do you use with german glue and plaster of paris

[@hashirthebull]

​​@@FatimaSuleman-r9l not a specified ratio, i use whatever consistency feels good, so its different each time. generally its about 30-70 atleast or 40-60 glue-plaster ( plaster as in mixture of plaster and water made using the soak method)

[@milospavic]

Is cement more harmful than plaster for a silicone mold? I prefer cement, it's cheaper and looks nicer (plus it's more durable) But I'm afraid the mold will be destroyed faster.

[@soumyadeepsarkar8320]

Excellently demonstrated. Can I use any acrylic paint with white cement? Please kindly reply.

[@BearBearCammy]

[@mimmoslem2248]

thanks for pointing out the difference

[@StellaPhotis]

Try using 1 part water (first) then 3 parts plaster of paris. You always add plaster to water and not the other way round. If you do this, you'll have the same consistency as you had with the cement! Also, your tests failed because you used way too much plaster in the first place. I can't understand why you added all that colour only to mix it into an ugly muddy colour! Next time try giving it 2 or 3 light stirs and you'll get a marble effect

[@BearBearCammy]

[@ymashburn319]

BBC...which would you recommend to do flower pots, jars, etc? TIA

[@BearBearCammy]

For indoor flower pot you can go for plaster. But for outdoor I would recommend cement. You can use the grey cement too. But it's more on own preference. For me personally i prefer cement because it is more durable and easier to mix with.

[@ameecatv]

The colors you used...what type of colors are those?

[@ResinHut]

Although I love videos that compare, this one was very unfair. You didn't read up on the correct mixing ratio for the plaster of paris hence the epic fail. Plaster of paris is such an amazing product to work with if mixed and used correctly. I've never worked with white cement so that part was very interesting.

[@areejfatima270]

Hey, I'd like to ask that does one need a sealant on plaster of paris?

[@ResinHut]

Plaster of paris is extremely porous so you would definitely need to add a very good sealant. Even then, you would need to stay away from making anything that would be around water. You could try H seal which is the one I use but i it's very pricey x

[@areejfatima270]

@@ResinHut I live in Pakistan so I doubt I'd find that particular sealant here. Could you tell me what to look for in a sealant, certain ingredients or something so I can find one that's available where I live? And thanks for the elaborated response.

So far I tried thick both thick and thin cement. Which I add more and lesser water. Both outcome has no different. Maybe in future I may try out few different ratio. Thanks for the comment :)

[@vaniafigueiredobaraodacunh8746]

hI, i'm not an expert but you have right. the ratio of water and cement you use def. have an impact in the cement final piece. Because if you put more water than the needed the strings of the cement will no be stronger enough. And the cure proccess will turn the piece much more stronger. But water in excess will def ruin your cement piece.

If plasrer is cold to the touch, it is not dry. It goes through a chemical process producing heat then it sets, but is at its strongest when thoroughly dry, I made clay casting moulds out of it and it is very strong. Keep in mind both have their uses, plaster is easier to carve, but weaker when dry, compared to cement. Cement is stronger, but will also break if subjected to trying to break it especially if thin.
