Jesmonite AC100 DUOSET

Jesmonite® AC100 DUOSET

Jesmonite® AC100 is supplied as two components: a water-based acrylic resin liquid and a gypsum-based mineral powder. The flagship of the range, AC100 is especially popular for indoor applications (candle holders, interior décor…), but is also suitable for outdoor use — in which case applying an acrylic sealing varnish is recommended to preserve the appearance of the surface.

Its strengths:

• Easy to use — the most user-friendly and popular product in the Jesmonite® range
• Customisable — can be coloured with pigments and combined with various elements for different effects and textures
• Versatile — smooth or highly detailed finish
• Safe and eco-friendly — water-based and environmentally friendly
• Durable — once cured: fire-resistant, lightweight and impact-resistant, with no harmful chemicals

Compatible with candle making: the creations can be used as a vessel. We recommend leaving them to dry for at least 48 hours before any use to ensure perfect heat resistance. This product has not undergone food-safety testing.

Formats and dosage

Several formats available: 500 ml liquid + 1.25 kg base, 1 L liquid + 2.5 kg base, 5 L liquid + 12.5 kg base or 7 L liquid + 17.5 kg base.

Ratio: 2.5 to 1 (2.5 parts base to 1 part liquid). A Jesmonite calculator is available to make your measurements easier.

Usage tips

• Sifting the powder before mixing removes lumps and gives a smoother texture.
• To avoid air bubbles, place your mould on a vibrating plate so they can escape.
• Prepare 5 to 10% more than the theoretical calculation to compensate for losses.
• You can add up to 2% of the total weight (base + liquid) in Jesmonite® pigment.
• Work in warm, dry conditions away from direct sunlight; avoid places where solvent-based products are frequently used.
• Make sure the mixing containers are clean, dry and an appropriate size.
