[@kerryanntarullo4076]

Jai, thank you so much for this! Purchased the pigment you listed and used 2.8% am having an issue where the top of the jars (bottom of mold) have a streaking look, but I’m mixing and mixing to the point where it was getting a little too thick to pour at one point. It’s only right at the top of the jar lip. Three jars done and all same thing. Any ideas?!!

[@Serkunny]

Aww, darn it, its $45 shipping to Canada. Are there other pigments? Seem like Black oxide only gets me a grey colour

[@claytonjames4779]

if a silicone mold is too hard to fold over on its self, dust a little corn starch on the outside and it will keep it from gripping on itself.

[@powerofme2767]

OMG, you are Amazing tutor I think you're the only one who use scale to make the vassals and that actually great. watching your videos make my anergy up as well as learning some new tips. I wonder if you going to do sealing video soon ? THANK YOU A LOT

[@upvibecandle]

Aww thanks for the compliment. I truly appreciate it. 🙏

I just love your energy!!

[@meganpiktel3217]

When mixing at these ratios my cementall is so thick it wont flow into my mold its thick and plops. What do I do?

[@upvibecandle]

Sounds like a product issue. Contact the location you purchased the CA and let them know it's no good and you would like another bag. It happens.

[@limawhisky]

Love it! Plenty of good vibes! I was just googling how to make black cementO and end up with your video. :)

[@upvibecandle]

That’s awesome.

Cement All takes 30 days to fully cure? I thought it was 7?

[@upvibecandle]

On average concrete takes 28 days to cure.

[@kristacarter7222]

You are a nut. Lol

[@ramonecd]

Have you seen where other makers soak their vessels after unmolding for 24 hours in a water bath? I just saw this and tried it yesterday. Thanks for the tip about the black bought as soon as you said link down below 😛

[@upvibecandle]

For Cement All you don’t need to water bathe them. However if you are using a cement, plaster and sand mix you do. Thanks for the comment.

[@Wondrouslybotanic]

Could you help me? I added black pigment to my cement and when I pulled it out of the mold, the black looks a bit ashy

[@upvibecandle]

Are you using Globmarble Supra Black? Not Black... SUPRA Black? 3% is enough to get it super black although sometimes I use 5%. Here the link. amzn.to/3toGyAF

[@Wondrouslybotanic]

@@upvibecandle the pot alone is coming out black. But there’s this weird ashy film appearing on top of the black.

[@upvibecandle]

@@Wondrouslybotanic That is weird but I wonder if it is efflorescence. Efflorescence is a crystalline deposit of salts. It occurs when water leaves behind salt deposits on or in the masonry surface. So, the question is... is there too much water in your mix or is it humid where you are working. Remember just because the temperature is cold doesn't mean it can't be humid. Try doing it again but with less water. If you can control the humidity try doing that as well. See how it goes and let me know.

Do you ever use Concrete fortifier?

[@upvibecandle]

Yes from time to time.

[@sarahstarr.]

Hi Jai, How are you getting 10g for the pigment? I’m one of those that isn’t good at math. My mold holds 280g of cement…so is that 70g of water and 5g of pigment? Lol so sorry if I’m way off . 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@upvibecandle]

Hi Sarah, no worries. 5% of 280 = 14 grams. If you using Globmarble (link in the description) then going under 14 grams is fine. Globmarble color is no joke... so less is more. However, 14 grams is your answer. Hope that helps.

[@scentedlegacy]

I love your content. I have everything I need to start making concrete candle jars, but my nerves have halted me. Do you have any tips, tricks, or videos, you can recommend on how to measure precisely and how to clean up?

[@upvibecandle]

What are you nervous about? I have a video on cleaning silicone molds but clean up no. Don’t pour anything down the sink at all. Scrape away, wipe away or let it harden and break it away.

[@curatethedetails]

Thank you thank you thank you! I've really struggled with getting a dark black color with my product testing. Will definitely try your recommended black pigment! Lots of fun in your video too :)

[@upvibecandle]

You are very welcome!

[@laurenphipps9335]

Is sealing required? I’m hoping for a matte finish at least on the outside. Would the effect the performance of the vessel or is there a matte sealant?

[@upvibecandle]

If you are making candles yes. A sealant is to secure the contents on the inside don't seep out as well as anything from the inside penetrating back in. The outside isn't necessary but if you like the matte finish and you change sealants or textures on either the inside or outside is fine. Earth Safe Finishes makes a matte finish. Hope that helps.

[@ashleyglidden1204]

I love supra black, but I hate that it stains my molds. Every time I make a batch I have to soak and scrub them clean. And the jars transfer color until I seal them. Any tips on how to help with this?

[@upvibecandle]

I have dedicated molds just for black.

[@ashleyglidden1204]

@upvibecandle thanks for the response! It looks like I'm going this route too 👍

What did you use for the lettering on your vessels and what seal did you use

[@upvibecandle]

Check out my silicone mold video it's all in there.

[@stephanienguyen38]

Can I please ask if we need to use distilled water or regular tap water is ok? Thanks a lot.

[@upvibecandle]

I use tap water but I know some people swear that it makes their vessels look better. I believe it is a personal preference.

Hello. Please can you answer this question for me. I have made small Ciment candle jars. And he started to cracked with the heat of the wick. Can you please send me a photo with the chemical mix of Ciment all? Kiss from Portugal.

[@upvibecandle]

Cement All is made up CSA cement and silica sand. The probable reason your jars are cracking are most likely thermal or hydraulic in nature. However, being that they are cracking when you are adding heat it leads me to believe it is hydraulic. Are you adding too much water? How long is it curing for? If making changes to your formula doesn't work you can try adding heat resistant cement fibers. Hope that helps.

[@kattysilva7731]

@@upvibecandle hello thanks God you replied, I was afraid you wouldn't. Thank you so much. Probably I am adding a little more water than I should. I bot 1kg of Ciment for wood stove, sorry if the name is not clear, and I am adding a soup spoon to the mix. Cas I can find something similar to Ciment all here in Portugal. Só grateful that you helped me out. Bless you.

[@flyboy10a50]

Can you use regular cement like from Lowe's to make candle vessels

[@upvibecandle]

Cement needs an aggregate to make concrete. You need to find a concrete mix or use Cement All from Home Depot. Here is a video that will help you understand more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWSQfYt9gMuKZpY

[@nana16392lina]

Hi Jai, I was just wondering, if I wasnt using cement all, (cause I cant it in SG) would i still be using 10g of pigment?

[@upvibecandle]

Hi Jerolina. Great question. Use 5% of the cement you are using. So if you are using 200 grams of cement then add in 10 grams of black pigment. Does that make sense?

[@nana16392lina]

I'm watching your video on making concrete jars with no cement all. So when mixing plaster, cement, sand and water, would 5% of the total mixture still apply? Or 5%of the cement that's in the mix?

[@upvibecandle]

@@nana16392linaYes but I don't use a lot because the pigment is so powerful. I use only about 3%.
