JESIN SHOP FAQ

JESIN is an eco-friendly, water-based, "non toxic" pouring medium, which consists of a powder and a liquid. You can use it to create decorative and functconal objects, such as coasters, vase bowls, plates, planters and even tabletops for side tables. The material is plaster-like and you can pour it into almost any silicone mold, plus the special viscosity and material property of JESIN allows you to create unique color marble effects that would not be possible as beautifully with another plaster-like comparative product. In addition, JESIN has the great advantage that incorporated impact metal does not oxidize as with comparabren products.
The mixing ratio is 2 parts powder to one part liquid. It is measured by weight. The mixture is mixed well until no more lumps are visible. JESIN always has a natural, creamy shade and can be used pure or dyed.

The WORKING TIME IS AROUND 20 MINUTES AND THE processing time is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes OF PROCESSING you can already REMOVE YOUR CASTED CREATIONS FROM THE mold. However, it also depends a little on the pouring height. The higher, the longer it takes to cure. We recommend that you leave your creation on the mold at an angle for another 24 hours after unmolding, as the JESIN still "sweats" afterwards. Since JESIN is a natural product, you don't need a special room for it. You can pour it virtually anywhere. Due to the exothermic reaction, it is quite normal that your mold feels warm after 20 minutes.

Perfect for this are our LIQU-MENTS, these color your JESIN evenly and opaque. The JESIN can also be dyed with the dry powders from the Carat Collection, but please note that the color differs slightly, since the JESIN itself is NATURALLY CREAMY IN COLOR. Glitter, LUXURY CRACKS, GOLD LEAF, SILVER LEAF (AURA BOX) AND sand can be incorporated AS WELL.

Since JESIN is eco friendly and "non toxic", almost anyone can work with it. It is also a great way to get started if you don't yet dare to work with resin. Even children and teenagers can try out JESIN. JESIN can also be painted afterwards and thus beautiful craft objects can be created.

Yes, when it has cured, you can also drill holes in JESIN.

JESIN can break. Shortly after unmolding, it can still be broken well and deliberately to conjure up other creations. Terrazzo, for example. The longer the curing process has taken place, the more difficult it is to break JESIN. However, it can also break if you drop your finished creation (depending on the pouring height and the object itself).

JESIN is best sanded wet. You wet the sandpaper or your JESIN artwork and then sand it. After sanding, you can then see the effects of the terrazzo or the LUXURY CRACKS well.

Air bubbles reach the surface due to vibration after pouring (for example, massage stick on table surface, OR OSCILLATOR

Unlike resin, JESIN does not have a specified pouring height. Please note, however, that JESIN heats up during curing due to the exothermic reaction. In addition, curing may take longer the more JESIN is poured.

YES! A mix of resin and JESIN is beautiful. However, it is important to know that the resin must not be completely hardened, otherwise it will not bond with the JESIN. The resin must have a sticky consistency.

JESIN is eco friendly and "non toxic" so no mask or gloves are required. Unless you are creating a piece of art that is made of resin and JESIN, then we ask you in the resin part to protect yourself according to the "resin standards".

RESIN SHOP FAQ

The GEODE RESIN is a thick liquid resin, which is optimal for OCEAN ART, GEODE ART, ABSTRACT ART or an ultra-high gloss sealing of artwork. The viscosity is more than excellent as effects stay where you poured them ( waves, glitter lines, cells, etc).
The mix ratio is 1:1 by volume, 45 minutes processing time and after 24 hours it is cured. It is basically a rather "soft" resin, which is scratch sensitive and not heat resistant insofar as you want to pour this resin into coaster silicone molds, for example. The GEODE RESIN is insensitive to temperature fluctuations during the drying process. It has passed the TÜV SÜD product test and is now certified according to DIN EN71-3 + A1:2021, i.e. in the cured state, when used correctly and clearly, it is saliva safe - people, children and animals can safely bite or lick the resin.

No VOCs (at normal room temperature).
UV absorber and HALS additives for optimal UV protection
BPA free (when cured)

Always wear nitrile gloves and avoid any direct contact with the skin. So please wear gloves immediately when opening the bottles and when mixing already.

We recommend to make / pour your artwork in very well ventilated premises. Our resin is harmless up to a certain point of heating, as far as emitting harmful vapors is concerned (when just / clear), but it is advisable especially with some color additives, whose content we often do not know, to wear a respirator mask with chemical filter.

If the resin needs to be reworked when cured (i.e. sanding), we recommend safety glasses and dust mask.

DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while working.

Please do not work near children or pets and make sure that they do not come into contact with the materials. Therefore, always store the resin in a safe place.

It is best to store the resin in a dry, cool and dark place (i.e. without direct UV radiation). Bottles that are exposed to high temperatures will yellow more quickly. Always close containers immediately, because the oxidation process also leads to premature yellowing of the resin.

As a rule, the resin has a shelf life of 1 year if stored correctly (more information on this on the SDS). However, already opened bottles should be used up quickly to avoid constant contact with the air (humidity).

The best temperature for optimum processing is 22 degrees Celsius (AROUND 72 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT). At higher temperatures, the resin tends to become more fluid, but the processing time is reduced. At lower temperatures, the resin is more viscous and the processing time is extended.

WE would recommend paying less attention to how long you stir. Much more important here is a close eye, because at first both components look milky when you put them in the measuring cup and start stirring. After some time of steady and calm stirring, it will become clear. There should be no more typical streaks (look like silk threads in the mixture). At most, this is about 3 min for the stirring process, however, you can stir for 3 min in such a way that it is still not properly blended, so please rely more on your eye than your timer.

COLORS

The COLORBERRY LIQU-MENTS are water-based, highly pigmented and liquid colors which are excellently suited for coloring JESIN. Resin can also be dyed with them, but care must be taken with the dosage due to the water base of the colors (water is not compatible with resin). One drop leads to lighter color in the JESIN and to transparent color in the resin. The more drops, the darker the JESIN or more opaque the color in the resin.
The LIQU-MENTS should be shaken before each use and the cap should be closed again to prevent the colors from drying out.
LIQU-MENTS can be combined with each other and also mixed with the rest of the COLORBERRY Collection.
LIQU-MENTS are opaque, non-shimmering colors.
Casting cement, plaster and other pouring media can also be colored with LIQU-MENTS.
The light fastness is excellent.
In addition, our LIQU-MENTS are vegan and safe to use.
If you add just a few drops to the JESIN and mix it just a little, you will get a great marble effect, which can then be poured into the silicone mold like this.

Our dry pigments give the resin AND OTHER MIXED MEDIA a breathtaking shimmer. Especially in the light it sparkles and glimmers in a very elegant way. You can also mix them with opaque colors to then get a unique pearl effect. Our COLORBERRY dry pigments have the maximum pigment strength and are therefore very productive.
All dry pigments can be combined with each other and can also be mixed with the complete COLORBERRY Collection to get great shades or your own color creations.
All our dry pigments are vegan, kosher and halal and are produced without animal testing.
The pigments do not contain any ingredients that are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction according to the CLP regulation.
You can also mix the colors with glass stones and resin to get a shimmering druzy effect.

Dry pigments can be added to JESIN, but JESIN distorts the color and color intensity a bit, so we recommend you to do small tests before. THESE ARE COSMETIC GRADE PIGMENTS, CAN BE USED WITH DRY OR LIQUID SOAP, BATHBOMBS, ROUGE, NAIL POLISH AND MORE.

You can also paint our dry pigments into a silicone mold or onto hardened resin beforehand and then pour on the resin.

For the best "GOLD" effects, COLORBERRY has two top products: CARAT GOLD and BRONZE BOX. These are the finest pigments that float on top of the surface. Either you stir them into the resin ( please use a little more, otherwise you will have a brownish effect), or you just put the powder dry on the surface. Also, you can brush it dry into a silicone from or mix it with a lacquer-like liquid to paint golden lines with it on the cured resin.
However, if you pour this type of dry powder into silicone molds (mixed with resin), be aware that the gold, for example, will always pop to the surface and you will not be able to turn the coaster/coaster over for a nice, visible gold effect.
If there is enough pigment in the resin, the metallic color will float to the top all by itself or you can heat it a little with a hot air gun to speed up the process.
