100% convinced on letting go of epoxy - I’ve had too many mess ups with epoxy measurements & not properly curing. Onto Brite tone 🤩 thank you for the tutorial
One is clearly more opaque than the other. I wish you had kept track of which was which! I immediately saw a difference when you asked. Then at the end the person I was watching with said "the one on the left looks less shiny" I was like "I know! I see a difference too!"
I'm thinking resin is always going to be best for me. It doesn't matter what kind of glue I use, it always dries way too fast for glitter and it's super hard to build up a nice level of glitter with glue instead of resin. Excellent information though on these two glues!
@@AlisonCrafts I totally get that reasoning. I really wish I could find a glue that stayed wet long enough to work as well for me as I feel the resin method does. I know it would be soooo much faster too. Lol! Love your vidoes and especially comparisons like this. It is super helpful when making decisions. 😋🤗
I know this video is older, but I was wondering since you used it as a top coat here. You put the glitter right into the glitter glue and then sealed over it again with the glue, so it was tacky at the end? It is tacky until you crystallac over it? How did you get it to not be tacky in the end?
Have you ever tried Elmer's Adhesive Spray as the glitter sealer before the bright tone? Just wondering if it's comparable to the E6000 spray or if it would react like mod podge. So thankful to have found your channel!
Can you use pigments meant for coloring epoxy to color Brite Tone? If not, besides the crystalac pigments, are there any other pigments that can be used to color Brite Tone?
I just started using the brite tone instead of epoxy that I've been using. When using Brite Tone can modge podge be used to seal glitter instead of glitter glue?
Honestly, no. Mod podge is not recommended. You could use mod podge to apply glitter but weird things can happen with direct contact with Brite Tone. I recommend the e6000 pump spray as an alternative to seal!
Hello Alison! I have 2 questions. I want to transition from epoxy to brite tone. Can you fix broken tumblers with brite tone? Also can you go over epoxied tumblers with brite tone?
You definitely want to use glitter glue to speed up the process! thecrystalacstore.com/products/crystalac-glitter-glue?_pos=1&_sid=394ae612c&_ss=r&&sca_ref=301559.RjXXsfrXmN
I don’t make tumblers but I make glitter bottles and I leave the textured feeling of the glitter. Can I use the glitter glue as a sealant alone or does it have to be sealed with bright tone?
After sealing and smushing in parchment paper you can then apply the brite tone or do I have to smush and apply glitter glue multiple times before going onto applying the brite tone layers?
I have both Brite Tone and Glitter Glue but haven't dived into tumbler making yet. I am curious if you find one or the other better for application techniques that take more time. You mentioned that one of the benefits of Glitter Glue is that it dries more quickly, so one can move onto the next step in 2 hours versus 4 hours with Brite Tone. Are there times when you choose to use Brite Tone specifically because it allows you more time for your glitter application? Taking into account that drying time will vary depending upon the temperature and humidity of one's workspace. TIA.
@@AlisonCrafts Thank you very much Alison. Learning from your experience will help save me time, materials, and most importantly, my sanity 😂, when I finally get around to starting to make tumblers. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
@@AlisonCrafts I have some polyurethane and I don't want it to go to waste. I have seen one video that uses both but now I can't find it. If I remember she used the polyurethane first and then the Brite tone. I don't remember how many layers of the polyurethane she used. Can you help me with this?
