Jesmonite AC100 vs AC730

Claire is back with a handy comparison of Jesmonite AC100 and AC730!
Jesmonite AC730 is very different to the AC100 but just as beautiful! It has a longer work time and cures in around 4 hours. It is also weatherproof, heatproof and non-combustible. Most excitingly though is that gorgeous texture ready to be revealed by acid etch or white vinegar. Stunning!
Have you tried both yet? Which do you prefer? Let us know in the comments!

Does the AC730 have to be etched? I like the smooth finish vs the stone texture. I'm thinking of using this for candle vessels. Please let me know if possible and thank you :)

Hi there And what is the difference with jesomite Ac300?

[@purplevamp666]

Clare?!😁 Quick question, do you know if you can use the AC730 sealer on AC100 products or do I need to buy the correct one? I have loads of the AC730 and it is so expensive.

[@polysil5999]

It's a really good question, and the honest answer is, we haven't tried! Definitely one for future experiments!

what u mean not good for candle vesiles? can u put candles in the a100? i though that was what some od the molds were for the have candles stand in them

[@polysil5999]

Hi Vicki. It gets a little complicated, but AC730 is 'non-combustable', meaning it does not burn, whereas AC100 is 'fire resistant', so while it won't catch fire easily, it would combust in a fire. We'd always advise using AC730 for candle vessels, and to research safety requirements if you're making products to sell.

@@polysil5999 i just want to make a holder to stand the candle in amd light it that way. not like pour wax in the pot and use it that way

[@polysil5999]

@@starrspoterOur advice would always be to err on the side of caution, but use your own judgement and always make sure you're aware of any regulations if you're selling them 🙂

Hi.Claire, loving your videos :) Can I just double check the ratios with you, you have recommended 2-8% that meaning 2g out of every hundred. Other sites say 2-8 grams per kilo meaning 2 grams per thousand grams. Hope that makes sense, just checking as I think I over did the retarder the other day 😝 Absolutely love your videos and warm personality 🥰
