JESMONITE Retarder
IMPORTANT: Retarders are not interchangeable for AC100/200/300 vs AC730, ensure you use the correct retarder.
The working time (also called pot-life) of mixed Jesmonite is approximately 8-15 minutes depending on your environment and mix size.
The addition of the appropriate retarder can extend this closer to 30 minutes at a maximum inclusion rate of approximately 2%.
The typical inclusion rate of AC100/200/300 Retarder and AC730 Retarder is approximately 2g-8g per kg of mix. Please perform tests in the workshop environment as varying temperature, humidity, and mix sizes can affect set times and pot life and the necessary addition rate will vary.
I love the retarder! Just a touch of it mixed into my jesmonite gives me plenty of time to work with the product. I create customized, very detailed candle vessels that require lots of tapping and releasing of bubbles before set time begins in order to have a lovely finished product and the retarder really helps me achieve a flawless finished product!
Je ne pourrais plus travailler dans ce produit qui me permet de faire de grosse production ! Quelques gouttes suffisent, ce qui en fait un très bon investissement.

I buy Jesmonite all the time, and it’s a material I love working with. Incorporating the retarder into my work, I’ve been able to extend my working time. This I super helpful when pouring a larger batch or several smaller pieces that require a bit more work! Definitely recommend!
