Is Jesmonite food safe?
Jesmonite is non-solvent and contains zero VOCs, however, it has not been tested for food safety.
What can Jesmonite be used for?
Jesmonite products are used within a wide range of decorative markets including craft, tableware, artwork, sculpture, lighting, furniture, marine vessels, film sets, architectural elements and cladding panels.
Are Jesmonite products fire tested?
The short answer is yes! If you want the technical info: Jesmonite products have been tested in accordance with EN 13501-1 under the harmonised Euroclass System of reaction to fire performance of building products which has been adopted by countries across Europe.
Are Jesmonite products safe?
Yes! All Jesmonite products are water-based, non-solvent and contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
How do I mix Jesmonite?
Jesmonite kits contain a mineral base (powder) and a water based acrylic resin (liquid). To mix the two together you have a few options. You can use our Premium Mixing Spatulas, Premium Mixing Sticks or you can use Jesmonite's High-Shear Mixing Blade. We’d recommend using the High-Shear Mixing Blade if you’re making large batches of Jesmonite as they are specifically designed for adding mixing Jesmonite Base with Jesmonite Liquids. The mixing action reduces air bubbles and keeps the mix smooth and free from lumps. If you’re mixing smaller amounts of Jesmonite and are using it as a hobby, the Silicone Mixing Sticks are great to mix your Jesmonite, but just keep in mind that lumps and air bubbles will be more likely to form than if you used the High-Shear Mixing Blade.
How should I store Jesmonite?
As a basic rule keep your containers well sealed and store them at a constant temperature between 5°C– 25°C. We say to use them within twelve months, but we’re 100% sure you’ll be so hooked you’ll use them before that!
What are Jesmonite products made from?
Jesmonite products are what we call composite materials. This means they consist of two different materials which each have different properties. These two materials are then mixed together. In the case of Jesmonite, you’ve got a combination of a reactive mineral base (powder) and a pure water based acrylic resin (liquid).
