Jesmonite Starter Set: Round Pot

Jesmonite is a water-based composite material used in fine arts, crafts, and construction. It is made of a gypsum-based material and an eco-resin.

Jesmonite AC100 is considered durable, fireproof and very robust . It can be used to make small and large objects. When mixed it absorbs color pigments and color powder very well. It is also considered a very safe working material as it does not contain any harmful chemicals and therefore does not emit toxic fumes.

Unlike Keraflott, which is mixed with water, the Jesmonite base/powder is only mixed with the Jesmonite liquid. This is the only way it achieves its unique properties, such as excellent color absorption and reproduction , as well as extremely fast curing (approx. 30 minutes).

Since the liquid Jesmonite mixture hardens very quickly, desired color pigments or powders should be added quickly.

The “Round Pot” starter set contains the following products:

• 240ml Liquid Jesmonite AC100
  
• 600g base/powder Jesmonite AC100
  
• Silicone mold: round pot
  
• Jesmonite Pigment: 6x2g Multiset Strip - Classic
  
• Instructions in German, English, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian
  
• Useful tools such as gloves, pipette, two stirring sticks
  

With the materials included in this set you can make approx. 2 round pots.

That's how it works:

Jesmonite is mixed 1:2.5 - ie 100ml liquid is mixed with 250g base/powder. Stir well to avoid lumps. If the mixture is liquid and free of lumps, you can add color pigments , rhinestones or terrazzo flakes as desired and desired. Then pour the mixture into the desired, clean mold.

To avoid unsightly air bubbles, we recommend placing the mold on a vibration plate so that all unwanted air bubbles can escape. This gives you a nice and even surface.

Then the shape of the Take the vibration plate and let it harden for about 30 minutes without any further movements. Once the liquid has hardened, you can remove your sculpture from the mold.

If necessary, unevenness can now be removed, for example through Rhinestones or If terrazzo flakes can form, repair or smooth them using fine sandpaper (180 grit).

Last but not least, remove fine dust from the sculpture and, depending on the application, with a Seal provided. This avoids greasing candle containers or vases with oil or water, which can otherwise leave unsightly stains.

Voilà - your desired sculpture is ready! 🎉
