Question: with basic tumblers getting cheaper on places like temu, can I just buy a pre painted white one, lightly scuff the paint and then go from there with the resin and glitter?
Is it okay to have a longer time than 4 hours between coats? If I can get to only 2 coats day one and then 3 coats day two, that wouldn't affect the cure time or cause any issues because it take a a full 30 days to cure?
@@AlisonCrafts I am recovering from my battle with Breast Cancer, it was over a 2 year fight ( it was an aggressive cancer) so Crystalac was the only option for me in my opinion, not wanting to take any unnecessary health risks, and needing to not add anything to the fires so to speak. It's a longer process, but safer, and I feel I will be able to get to the finish line without giving up.
i just got my BT and im not sure how i know if im putting on too heavy of a layer ? and i let it spin for one hour and let it dry for 3? you said every 3 coats - sad..right ? please help !! lol
Can I use CrystaLac to seal vinyl lettering to a Yeti type cup? No glitter or anything else, just a clear coat so the vinyl doesn't come off when washed. Also, my cup has a slight texture to it (hints why the vinyl comes off,) will that effect the CrystaLac at all?
Hello! I just ordered my first tumblers & crystlac brite tone! Your videos are so encouraging. I do have a question though. Can I use the crystalac over an acrylic tumbler? I want to use the clear acrylic tumblers so I can do a "snow globe" effect as well. Super ambitious for my first one but im excited!
I been working on a tumbler and used epoxy ass glue for my glitter but I developed an allergic reaction, so I don’t wanna epoxy anymore. Can I use brite tone on top of it for the sealing process? Also do I have to wear a mask when sanding or is it safe enough not to?
Yes you can use brite tone on top but I actually recommend Grande finale! thecrystalacstore.com/products/grande-finale-fast-dry-tumbler-coat?_pos=1&_psq=grand&_ss=e&_v=1.0&sca_ref=301559.RjXXsfrXmN
I've thought about using this stuff instead of resin,,,but you need SOOO many coats on your tumblers!!! It would take days and days to create and finish a tumbler. As much as I dislike finding the right resin and using it with all my safety gear, it's faster because you need less coats. And sometimes you don't need to sand in between your coats of resin! Too bad. I thought this stuff would be a great answer to resin alternative.
What if you need to add another coat of glitter????? Do you wait 2 hours - add more Glitter glue and glitter... dry for 2 hours then do the BT coats??????
I’m just finishing up my two tumblers using brite tone for the first time ever. But I keep getting finger streaks and bumps(air bubbles?). I’ve tried measuring 2-3ml I’ve tried using less, I’ve tried using more, I’ve tried using a little heat, I’ve tried bare finger and with a glove. Please help! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
What if you're using a tumbler that's already the color you want? For example I have a powder blue tumbler that I want to add glitter to the lower half of. Do I still need to sand off the top coating from the store?
Hi there! Question, so after you do the BT and sanding, is the last step BT with no sanding? When I end with sanding, even when I rinse it off, it dries “milky” looking 🤔 Thank you!
What would be the advantage of using this over epoxy? It seems like a very similar process. Also - do you need a spinner? Could you just leave it to dry hanging somehow?
Brite Tone is a non Toxic alternative to Epoxy. There are lots of RU-vidr's out there using Epoxy without proper PPE, I don't think it's something you should bring into your home. Plus many people have allergies to Epoxy and will develop such allergies after handling Epoxy. I am definitely going to try Brite Tone. There are too many risks when using Epoxy.
