How to Make a White Concrete Jar (NO CEMENT ALL)

[@vikingvibes75]

Thank you so much for putting out this video! I'm an American who currently resides in Denmark. As you can guess, Cement All is not easily available here and other concrete (beton) mixes here just don't seem to work right for candle jars. When I saw this video, my frustration turned to hope!! I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to soon. I found that the ingredients are all easily available here in Denmark so I've ordered them and can't wait to try this. And yes, this journey has made me realize how 'spoiled' we are in America with easy access to so many things. It's been quite a reality check living here in Europe to find that I can't just get whatever I need, lol. So this video is greatly appreciated since I had to figure out a concrete jar alternative. Thank you!!

Check out my sealant videos that will help you greatly. I use ESF and that works great. I have even used it on my formula and it is amazing. Here is my formula with ESF. instagram.com/p/Cq8LtJhMocJ/. Cement can vary from location to location so you have to buy something that you think will work and test it. I wish I had a more solid answer but unfortunately all of these products are too different to give you a solid answer.

@@nezumithe-mouse6319 Great. Let me know how it goes. Here is the video with the Cement All formula if you need. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnTJf2OhrJl7prs

[@nezumithe-mouse6319]

@@upvibecandle thanks! What is your recommendation for the titanium dioxide? It's white.

[@upvibecandle]

@@nezumithe-mouse6319 Use 5% of your mixture as the maximum amount. Any more than 5% of your mixture and you start to compromise the integrity of your vessel.

Where to find the white cement..

[@lourdesarriola5813]

Thank you for the spanish subtitles!!!!

[@valeridoutt]

Hello!!! Very interesting video, well explained and entertaining at the same time. My question is: What kind of white plaster (I know there are different types but I don't know which one to use) and sand (constitution?) do you use in this video? And so I can know which one to buy. Also can I use this formula to make several mini candle holders and have better resistance. Thank you. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪.

[@upvibecandle]

I used plaster of paris for this video to show that you should be able to use pretty much anything. I have tested it in a candle without issues. However, not all plaster, sand, cement nor water are the same so your results might vary. I also used regular play sand. Hope that helps.

[@valeridoutt]

@@upvibecandle Excellent, thank you very much for answering my question. Now I just have to find all the necessary materials here in my country and try this new formula. Thanks again. Have a nice day!.

@@valeridoutt Let me know how it goes!

Love your video , I watched many videos yours is the most educational and I really learned and I am ordering all the ingredients thank u :)

[@upvibecandle]

Thank you so much!

[@mysticlight_d36]

What kind of sand is that?

[@zalenemail]

Can you use pure plaster of paris, no cement and no sand?

[@upvibecandle]

No. It's too weak. Buy hydrostone.

[@thylacinewolf]

should do more of your Chistopher Walken type humor made video awesome and appealing

[@upvibecandle]

I have no idea what that means.

[@GreenWitch1]

I see from your total coast video that a vessel made from cement all costs .72 cents. How does this compare & do you prefer using this over cement all?

[@upvibecandle]

For me it’s more cost effective to use Cement All. However I prefer Hydrocal which is featured in my Cement All alternatives video.

[@GreenWitch1]

@@upvibecandle I watched that one also. I’ve watched several today 🤷‍♀️ As someone contemplating making candles, to lower the initial start up cost, it seems more prudent to use a substance that you can demold in 30 minutes vs 3 hours. I’m shocked by the price of some of these molds 😳 I wish you had a video on the different types of wax.

[@upvibecandle]

@@GreenWitch1 Great point. That video is one I will do down the line.

[@GreenWitch1]

@@upvibecandle Excellent!

[@MissChelle]

What could I add to waterproof it?🇦🇺❤️

[@upvibecandle]

You need to seal it with a concrete sealer.

[@solonyetski]

Do you know the ratios instead of the measurements? I have a 4.7in x 6.9in mold.

[@upvibecandle]

If you are using Cement All it’s a 4 to 1 ratio.

[@solonyetski]

@@upvibecandle no, no cement all. The mix you're showing here. I understand probably it's 2 parts plastet to 1 part cement 1 part sand. The water is what throws me off

[@upvibecandle]

@@solonyetski same amount as plaster. Let me know how it goes.

[@solonyetski]

@@upvibecandle will do, thanks

[@solonyetski]

@@upvibecandle Ok, so I tried the mix with 2 parts water. My pot crumbled into pieces while demolding it, even after waiting 12 hours to do so, do you think it was the water? The pieces were cold and humid to the touch. What else could it be, too little cement? 😅

[@nadenehorry9071]

Love your videos. 😄question? How do you clean your bowls?

[@upvibecandle]

Thanks for the compliment. I go to my utility and add water then I move the remaining contents around with my spatula then I go into the very back of my basement where there is an unfinished concrete floor and dump it there. I also sometimes toss it outside in a similar area. I hope that helps.

[@andreaaitken9969]

I love your videos. Can you please explain water bathing?

[@upvibecandle]

Thanks for the compliment and video suggestion.

[@vitavi2800]

What is a formula? How did you find out how much water you need to add??? PLS🎉❤

[@upvibecandle]

I calculated it. Watch this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoOtqqOtlNuepbMsi=WwgiL7WLqCYeJfIX

Is this river sand?

[@pinoykaraokePH]

What kind of sand is that? Sir?

[@praireebasallote7971]

What kind of sand u using?

[@upvibecandle]

Use construction sand.

[@praireebasallote7971]

@upvibecandle our construction sand is not white here more like grey, is it ok to use limestone powder?

[@upvibecandle]

@@praireebasallote7971 try white play sand and test it. It should work too.

[@isabellrc]

I Enjoyed your video!!! Firstly, your personality is engaging! Secondly, I agree with you; there’s other ingredients besides xy&z 😊…. Thirdly, the white color pops, and for my artistic uses, there’s more options to decorate if I like. So, yes, I subscribed & plan on catching up on all your videos. Ciao

[@upvibecandle]

Aww. Thanks 🙏 I truly appreciate it.
