Hydroflow by Elichem Trying their Brand New 'Eco Water based compound'

Hey lovelies, I am excited to try a brand new product to the market. Elichem contacted me and asked if I would like to try their new Hydroflow Eco Water based Compound. In this video I am showing how Hydroflow works and how to create a trinket tray using Hydroflow.
Hydroflow by Elichem is a 2 part system comprising of a powder and liquid. The ratio for Hydroflow is 1 part to 2.5. 1 part liquid to 2.5 parts powder.
Hydrowflow is available in the USA and Elichem ship worldwide.
Hydroflow can also be used to create Terrazzo items.
Hydroflow can be sealed using the liquid componant from your kit. It can be sanded wet or dry straight after de-mould.
Hydroflow is heatproof up to 120 degrees perfect for coasters and Trivets.
You have up to 15-20 mins work time with Hydroflow and the de-mould is a 1.5-2 hours later.
Pigments can be added to Hydroflow such as Acrylic Resi -Tints available from Elichem and also any acrylic based pigment. I am using Acrylic Paint in this video.
Hydroflow is similar yet very very different to products used in previous videos.
To purchase Hydroflow please go direct to Elichem:
www.elichem.co... they ship worldwide and from their USA base also.
The results shown in this video are my own.
This is a collaborative video with Elichem. They sent me the product to try. I cannot be responsible for the product if it is not to your liking
The silicone Mould in this video can be purchased from my Amazon Storefront

[@rhoenagordon859]

I enjoy watching your videos and actually found you while researching jesmonite and now i'm excited to try it out. Hydroflow looks interesting, i may give it a try. I checked the link you posted and on their website they said one should add the colour to the hydroflow activator fluid BEFORE adding the powder. So maybe that could help nextime.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy lovely, thank you so much ! Yes that could help for sure ! I am the same with Jesmonite ... the colour should be added to the liquid but it never is ha ha I must read instructions and stick to them ! xxx

[@steveellis8746]

Looking good Claire, the ice cream is my personal favourite.. how about a raspberry ripple some time. Was thinking about the possibility of a small vibrating pad to shake the medium down and maybe get rid of bubbles too 😊

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hi Steve, Raspberry Ripple would be amazing ! :) I think I will have to do an Ice Cream series haaaaa yes .. I have had a couple of people tell me that they use vibrating plates and they are great .. I need to get one for sure x

Heyyyyy lovely, I would say the main two differences are the flow and the de mould time xx I actually do not know the strength of Hydroflow x

[@emilylippert2816]

I love that this is available in the USA. Can you compare this product to jesmonite? What do you like best about each product? So fun!! Neopolitan for the win. :)

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Emily, to compare I would say that Jesmonite sets quicker and can de mould quicker ... Hydroflow blends better and the Ombre effect I was unable to get it this blended with Jesmonite.

[@nickideepwater]

This stuff looks cool, it says on the website that any water based pigment can be used so I wonder if our existing jesmonite pigment would work? I really like the Neapolitan ice cream one myself although I don't actually eat it !! Lol 😂🤣

[@007rastas]

Yes correct, your existing pigments will work with hydroflow.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks Nicki, yes AJ who commented below is from Elichem ... he confirms that we can use Jesmonite pigments in it :) x

[@caradonker6363]

Why am I not so keen on that as a product? I can't explain it. I love the way the trays turned out but it wasn't as aesthetically pleasing to watch the mix and pour etc. (Maybe that's it, maybe that's the reason?) Fab video! Xxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

it is very different to Jesmonite yes .. the results are pretty similar x

[@LiveSleepResin]

Omg lady, I'm gonna have to try this stuff. It_looks_fascinating. I absolutely love the way the colours blend and the two techniques you showed us. The I would totally eat both!!! I would be v curious to see if you could do a dirty pour using this?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

[@nadiame8]

I have tried different alternatives and I dont like when the liquid part is like water, difficult to work with. Very chalky finish and lack the gloss and smooth finish if Jesmonite. It feel more like plaster, not great experience with wet sanding, the project becomes very soft and it is hard to sand evenly. No to mention the bubbles!!

[@LittleCherryHill]

Hi Claire. Do you prefer Jesmonite or Hydroflow?? I saw its free delivery with Hydroflow, looks a lot thicker to Jesmonite.

Heyyyy Jo ... I prefer Jesmonite for a couple of reasons. The plus about Hydroflow is the way it blends .. its incredible I don't get that with Jesmonite. The price is great too !! Jesmonite for me stays runnier for longer and sets faster x

As a jesmonite maker myself I’m considering the switch, purely because I’m sick of white spots. Have you noticed any major differences using this product?

Heyyyy lovely ... the differences were the de-mould time .. and Jesmonite was more runny ... The trick for white spots is to mixx thoroughly .. I have had white spots in the past but lately its been ok x

Hi @@ClairesCraftyCorner :) No, I haven't contacted them. Maybe I should? I was on the UK website and they have a dedicated list of countries they ship to (under Customer Service-Delivery information) and unfortunately, Australia is not listed. I have also noted that there is the following message "***We are no longer shipping to Europe, If you are in one of the 27 European countries please use our dedicated Euro website*** - www.elichem.eu" however upon clicking on the link I got an error message. I checked by typing the website on google search and the website exists and works, it's just the link that is not working (just in case someone thinks the website is down like I did initially lol). Another thing to note, is this message on the EU website: **Please note we are unable to ship orders below €150 from July 2021 due to new VAT rules in the EU** . Maybe it's just me, but I think it is a lot of money to have to spend on a product you may just want to try out. It's a bit of a shame really, don't you think?
