This is my 2nd attempt on a cup and when I put the alcohol ink on it separates from the resin and half of my cup is white with bunched up resin and the other half of my cup looks nice I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions??
@@jamiepandagirl7561 it could be the type of resin epoxy you are using. Stay away from fast drying products. I use the regular epoxy resin from www.resinate.ca/ You may get a discount if you use the code NATALIE10
@@TheKriekable it could be the type of resin you are working with. If it’s a fast dry resin, you won’t have time to apply the ink. I use the regular epoxy resin from www.resinate.ca/ You may even get a discount if you try coupon code NATALIE10
FYI, my local Walmart now has the four-pack of Color Shift on clearance for $11 (regular price is $16). The four-pack is 7501 "Chameleon" with green, purple, aqua, and blue. I am not sure what this means for the future of the Color Shift paint at Plaid or Walmart, but $11 is a great deal if you will use those four colors.
To get the names I would use my cricut to cut out the name in vinyl…. There are several ways you can do it. Either add the vinyl name after you art, or add the vinyl as a stencil before you art then peal the vinyl off. I hope this makes sense.
I'm also planning on doing these. I've watched lots of videos but I relate to yours and I subscribed. I will be watching all of yours as the days pass. I'm buying my supplies bit by bit for now. I'm a housewife so this way I can help with expenses in our home. I used to do decoupage but I've run out of things to cover in pretty tissue paper 😅love the fact that you said we don't have to use unpainted cups because it's hard to find here in S Africa so I can skip spray painting the cups or travel mugs👌
I have the same paints but haven’t tried them yet, now I will soon. Have you used acrylic paint on a tumbler? A tutorial on putting epoxy on tumblers would be helpful since I’m fairly new at them. Thank you.
New subscriber here. I just found and bought some of the colorflash paint yesterday, very excited to jump in with some mermaid colors. I really appreciate your structured testing method and qualitative observations . This retired Science teacher approves, and has a garage full of rocks to play with.... I'm actually going to try my first test using the Dollar Tree flat die cuts of fish, moths and beetles. Then I may incorporate the paint into some PVA glue for decoupage projects using pretty napkins.
I have a question. I’m not sure if you can help me I’m only done a few of these tumblers. But recently I’ve noticed the top edge is rough. And I’m just wondering how you can smooth it out
Thank you for this video❤ When I saw these paints I grabbed them as soon as I could! Didn’t know what I’d use them for but knew I’d find something!!! By the way, you have the most beautifully natural healthy nails. (I’ve struggled. LoL)
I have tried this method a couple of times and for some reason it feels like the epoxy is thicker in some areas and others like waves or hills and valleys. What am I doing wrong?
The epoxy I use for this is really ‘slow to cure’… it give more working time for this method. You can always add a little heat with a heat gun to get things flowing too… just be careful as it heats quickly!
I have a question! I use self leveling resin which works great but every time I try this method, it dries SUPER wavy and almost unsandable. What am I doing wrong?
