Sooo I let my tumbler sit over night. And when I went to do the "flood coat" today, it was clumps of glitter. Sooo did I use too much glitter and not enough epoxy on first coat? I ended up spraying it with sealer and then adding epoxy which worked better. But I saw you added your 2nd epoxy after 2 hours and didn't have that trouble
Please would you share where you got the rotating pvc support brackets and/or what they are called! These are just what I need. Thank you and beautiful cups too!!
Hey new 2 ur tutorials & I love them! My problem is when I put epoxy on tumblers I can never get the right amount, it seems I have 2 much & I go over it with my gloved finger & they turn out with places missed, can u help me?
Hi! Just wondering if you could tell me how you are able to have your tumbler arms pull on and off without having to twist them off? I purchased one off Etsy and when I need to take the tumbler off it’s a pain to have to twist and I get nervous I’m going to hit the edges of the cup. I like how yours is. Thanks :)
I don’t usually get bumps on my cups that you can see but sometimes you can feel some tiny bumps after my last coat. Any recommendations on how to avoid that? I use a heat gun and make sure I sand tumbler until smooth prior to last coat.
Your tumbler is leaning down causing the epoxy to slide down towards the bottom. Make sure you have your tumbler leveled on your turner and make sure your table it level. To fix: sand, sand, sand!!! Then re epoxy. It may not be fixable if it’s a bigger “warp”
I would be careful with a using a hair dryer, it may blow too much and not produce enough heat to pop any bubbles or smooth out epoxy. Also, heat gun does the same as a torch. Just preference
What setting do you have your heat gun? And how did you just press it once and it turned off? Mine, I have to hold the button down for a few seconds to get it to shut off
Love this color of red! ❤️❤️❤️ I gave 2 questions: Can 2 coats of glitter be added? Like after expoxing & let it dry, epoxy & then glitter & epoxy? I was wondering after you do sanding & expoxy & finish cup, what if down the road I decide to add a decal. Can I add it on, & then expoxy? Would it be ok? Thank you! 😊
I attempted my first tumbler and I used matte spray paint and the epoxy still separates leaving fish eyes and holes. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
Can you use an tumbler that already comes painted like the red Ozark Trails tumblers? Or will it still need to be prepped and spray painted? Just curious because I have a lot of already colored ones (I collect them) but I want a glittery one as I love anything that sparkles!
My tumbler has been spinning since Monday and it’s still sticky to the touch. Is this normal? Did I just put too much on? I’m using the same epoxy you recommended. Any advice? Heeelllppp!
Hi! I am not the video author but that happened to me once. What happened for me was that I think I didn’t have completely even parts A and B, like one was slightly more. Or it didn’t get mixed fully. If it’s just a little tacky to the touch, just do another coat of (carefully measured and mixed) epoxy and let that spin/cure and you should hopefully be okay!
I am working on a Mickey Mouse cup for my step mom and having a hard time doing the final coat with both glitters. Do you have a video for something like that. This video helped a ton. Thank yiu
I have painted mine with strips leaving strips of the stainless steel in order to put glitter in the strips how can I put the glitter in these stips without the glitter getting on the paint...
Hi! On one of my tumblers I ended up with a large blob of epoxy at the bottom and it’s uneven when I set it on a flat surface... the epoxy is already cured. Is there anything I can do, short of stripping the entire thing with acetone? Would it work to strip just the bottom?
Can you sand down the glob? I've had an uneven lump on the bottom and spent like an hour sanding it--just be careful not to sand a normal area of the cup as much because there's obviously not as much epoxy to sand down and you can sand into the glitter or the alcohol ink/paint job. It worked for my cup and I didn't have to strip it, just add a second thin coat of epoxy to the whole tumbler after the base was even.
Yes. Add glitter to the bottom. I add glitter all the way up to the top of my tumbler and then I clean up the rim with an exacto knife. I have two videos on this. They are both posted in my beginners playlist section too
@@MissKissKreations I just added my second coat of epoxy the glitter felt dry until I started adding the epoxy and it fills glittery not smooth I'll let it spin a while then sit up to dry but I probably failed something I probably didn't do right should I give up and sell my tumbler spinner and heat gun and also how do I get the epoxy off my heat gun and out of my measuring cup
So I made my first tumbler with glitter- I sprayed the primer first then let dry. I then sprayed with adhesive spray to hold glitter and then let dry also. I then added glitter and let dry for an hour and a half. I started adding epoxy and noticed it was thinning the glitter out in certain areas of the tumbler. I then started adding glitter to patch up the spots and it made the tumbler texture look gloopy and dimply. The epoxy started running. I need help! I need to know once I let my glitter dry, how much epoxy do I apply? And is one coat enough?
If you’re using a spray adhesive to add glitter into your tumbler you need to then spray the tumbler with a sealer. After the sealer is dry then you can epoxy.
She answers this at the beginning if the video. She says to either spray paint it with the same color you are going to use OR paint it white. It is part of prepping your tumbler.
You may be epoxying your tumbler to your football, but, using too much epoxy won’t weigh your tumbler down if that makes sense. If anything , you want your Tumbler to be secure on your cup turner
