Jesmonite How to make Terrazzo tiles. Video 3

In this video .. part 3 of my Jesmonite mini series I am showing you how to make Jesmonite Terrazzo.
This is not a necessary step if you have been doing Jesmonite a while and have lots of left over chips. However, being an absolute beginner I really did need to make some and thought I would share this with you.
If you have not yet seen my Beginner A-Z of Jesmonite video you can watch it here:
• Jesmonite for Beginner...
The second video in the series is how to mix your own colours this was released last night on my channel.
I am using Jesmonite pigments from Resin 8 but pigments are available from other sources.

[@beeee4249]

Your title description is not quite acurate. I was expecting ou will show the actual tile, not the chips.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Jesmonite should be used wearing a dust mask, gloves and eye safety wear. Part 4: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqbSe5uZi9aHnqM

[@natashamorgan4553]

Reminds me of the powder paints you used to use at school once they were mixed then dried, you could break up like that with the same chalky texture.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ooooooo yesss 😍😍😍 that is exactly what its like! Ahhhh good times xxx

[@DaveGDesigns]

I’m really intrigued to see how you use these Claire I’m finding the series very interesting the colours are really different from what we usually see these seem to be more flat and solid it gives a whole new dimension to things. Keep the vids coming 👌🏻 xx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks so much hunee ... and yes very different .. and al very MATTE but I am loving the differences xxx

[@amethyst1826]

You can resin on top for a shiny look.

Salut a vous ,j'aime ce que vous faites. J'aimerais en fait pareil et fait de sa mon activité mais je ne comprends pas l'anglais dc svp si c'est possible parfois d'écrire en français souvent pour nous qui sommes francophones merci

[@ceciliering6519]

Hi Claire. How many grams of each do you use? I always make 2,5:1 ratio, but I find that my terrazzo chips take forever to dry. Like over 2 hours sometimes. I add in White pigment, could that be like case? It happens also when I’m not using that much White pigment

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Cecile... oh that is a LONG time ! I'm not sure why it takes that long ... I usually do the 1:2.5 ratio also ... it might be pigment ... the only time mine have taken a long while is when I've added pigment. Try adding the pigment within the 1 ratio ... and not as an extra

[@LiveItLikeLisa]

Love watching you create these and so satisfying watching you break it all up, very pretty, I’ve just watching the coaster one which you used these and they turned out brilliant!! Love them!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks sooooo much hunee xxx I am really loving it ... The Terrazzo takes times ... and you know me 🤣🤣🤣 would rather chuck it all in x haaaa

[@oyinolabode]

My products finally got to me and I’m excited 💃🏽💃🏽! Please what’s the measurement for making terrazzo chips because I’m currently just testing and waiting for results. Please what’s best to pour the liquid on because I’m using a non stick baking paper. Thank you in advance

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy lovely ... there are no measurements for Terrazzo chips. You just make as little or as much as you want with the 1:2.5 ratio still. Spread it out on some plastic. Cling film or a plastic bag will work xx

[@oyinolabode]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner it actually worked 💃🏽! But when I pour into the molds and I’m about to demold it gets hot any reason please?

Hi this is called Jesmonite x with Jesmonite pigment ... Search for your nearest Jesmonite stockist. It is not available in the USA but it is available in many countries.

[@samard1781]

Can you please share the materials and how to purchase them?

[@monicabruna08]

Hey! Has anyone used these flakes for he floor also? I was wondering if they are good to go for a terrazzo floor. I am not sure how they will act at the polishing part. Any ideas? It would be sooo great to be able to switch the stones in the terrazzo mixture with this kind of flakes. Any advice? Thank you

[@babsywoman4212]

Could you make the terrazo flakes with dried acrylic paint chips? I am asking because as an elementary school teacher I always have loads of dried paint chips.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyyy lovely .. oh that is a great question x I guess it would depend if the paint chips could be sanded ok ? If so ... then yes x 😍😍

[@babsywoman4212]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner I will try and let you know 😀

[@lauraboyne7698]

I tried black terrazzo chips in a tray mould , and the black chips turned the jesmonite grey ? Anyone else had this ? Now set the tray looks grey with black chips , not white with black 🙄

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ohhhhh no ... no I haven't tried black chips yet but its good to know ... hopefully someone will see this and be able to advise xxx ❤❤❤

[@yasmineaksoy2049]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner hey, the jesmonite sales person said that the black pigment could work well together with a tiny bit drop of acrylic black paint, hope this helps! :)

sorry Mark haaaa I would put it all in one video .. but watch time on a 10 minute video is 5 minutes .. lol so I am trying short chunks of info xxxx loool glad you have seen what it is .. I have to say .. sanding is not my strong point so the coasters will be in tomorrows video xx

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Question Claire. You broke these up after 10mins, if you'd left it longer, would it become too hard to break? Excited to see what you make with them.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

heyyy lovely .. yes .. oh yes they are so much harder. not impossible though .. but much harder. In tomorrows video where i make the coasters I actually say this too .. like how hard it is after a few hours ! xxx

[@SharonLindleyVividDaysArt]

Beautiful colour selections

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thanks lovely xxx :) I am not sure I will be a big Terrazzo maker .. the sanding is a bit much lol

[@vigatroiano8653]

Hi Claire! Thanks a lot for the video; it was truly helpful. Regarding the plastic you used, was it a specific type or just a regular baking sheet? Thank you again! 🙂

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyyy lovely ... you can use any plastic at all ... Cling film or a Silicone mat... or plastic table cloth x anything will work as long as the plastic is totally flexible

[@Martine73728]

Hi Claire. I’m just starting my Jesmonite journey, and want to make terrazzo candle vessels. I read that I should use AC730 bc it’s better for using with heat, but is it possible to make terrazzo chips with the AC730? How about mixing materials, like making the chips with AC100 and the vessel with AC730? Thank you for a lovely video and your help 😊

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyy Martine ... yes I have also been told AC730 for candles ... truth is I know loads who make candles from AC100 and make sure that the WICK is at least 1/1.5 inches away from edge but this would very much be a risk to the maker I suppose ... As for mixing I am afraid I do not know ... AC730 needs etching and I don't know what effect this will have on the AC100 x

[@hemantha3332]

What you use

[@emilymutfakreels]

How can I get red color with white powder? Thanks in advance!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy Emine... you will need the full 2% allowance in pigment ❤️🙌

[@emilymutfakreels]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner thanks!

[@thesteeles6845]

Hello, what was your ratio please, also did you add the mixture into cups then add your pigment?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

hey lovely ... my ratio was 1:2.5 as the instructions suggest .. you can add the pigment to the liquid to ensure it is dispersed equally or you can add it after and mix thoroughly xx I often add the pigment after mixing the lot together or half way through adding the powder

[@vilmahamalainen1061]

Hi Claire! I’m planning to start with Jesmonite and these videos for beginners are just what I need! So helpful, so thankyou for that☺️ When you have made the terrazzo chips, do you need to have a lock or store them in an airtight box? Also about the plastic, do you use the same plastic for protection when you are making the trays? Or is it something else? Many questions, hopefully you will have the time to answer🥰

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

heyyyyy lovely ... no the terrazzo chips do not need to be stored in any special way x I just use food containers .. also the plastic I use is Polyurethane drop sheet .. it works with jesmonite and my resin x
