✨This tutorial walks you through the full process of how to epoxy a tumbler from start to finish. After you glitter your tumbler, the next step is epoxy. We show you how to mix Pro Marine Epoxy then apply a flood coat of epoxy. After the tumbler cures for eight hours, you can then sand the tumbler with fine sand paper, apply your vinyl decal, and add the final coat of epoxy. We used white Styletech Glitter to create this decal from 651vinyl.com

Thank you for being specific about the small details like type of sandpaper, suggested measurements of epoxy and all of the little personal hacks that you have shared. It’s frustrating when some videos skip over details and leave you missing components to completing the project. Thanks again, and I can’t wait to give this a try.

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

You’re so welcome! That’s exactly what inspired Kate and I to make this series. We felt like all the videos we watched left out a lot of important details!

I'm glad you explained the trouble you have at the bottom and top of the tumbler. I thought I was doing something wrong. Also I messed up a few tumblers but I was able to save them. I used a electric hand sander and got all the color and epoxy off and was able to start over. It took about 20 minutes to get it all off.

Denatured alcohol in a spray bottle using light misting, then waiting about 3-5 mins, will also get rid of all bubbles and/or surface tension bubbles as well. This might be a better option with plastic decals? Great detailed video though ladies. Thank you.

@alanadewees4457 3 года назад

Hi, I’m knew to all this and wondering when you mix part A and B what is it besides epoxy?

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

You mix it before you apply it to the cup. A and B are two parts of the epoxy. They are essential to react together so epoxy will harden.

@erikaoxoxo936 3 года назад

This is so helpful I am a newbie. Did my first cup tonight but one of the glitters had a more clumpy texture and what should I do to even those bigger specks out of the cup before expoxy I don't want to mess the cup up?

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

It sounds like you may have had to much glitter on your cup when you went to epoxy it. Next time brush off the excess before your flood coat of epoxy.

@anitaphillips1950 2 года назад

Love the video. However, since this is for beginners it would be nice to start at the beginning before adding the glitter.

Yes you do! It’s a good practice.

@SunShine-em4hb Год назад

Hello! I'm new to epoxing and I wanted to know do I have to keep applying epoxy to the bottom of the tumbler everytime I apply it? I'm asking because some not all of my tumblers are coming out a little thick on the bottom and round. It's taking me a lot of sanding to get it flat again and some times I have to reapply glitter because of how much sanding I'm doing and it's never ending and I do not want to keep wasting product. Please help! 😊

@DIYAlex Год назад

You should coat the entire tumbler evenly, unless you decide to tape off the bottom and not put any epoxy on if at all. But it sounds like you’re putting too much epoxy on the bottom, all you need to do is swipe a little on the bottom. I think less epoxy will help that issue!

@fatimahuerta7525 4 года назад

Great video, thank you. I have tried a wood grain tumbler twice without success because of the micro bubbles. I have torched to take off bubbles without success. What kind of epoxy are you using? But...thank you for the tip on torching top and bottom of cup right after stirring both components. Will try that now. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

@DIYAlex 4 года назад

In this video we are using Pro Marine, but Kate loves Artworks! Maybe you could try heating your epoxy more gradually. I know some people who buy tart warmers (like for candle wax) and put their medicine cup in that to slowly allow the bubbles to rise to the top.

@emilyl151 3 года назад

Thank you for the video! question - is it removable or permanent vinyl? Also what epoxy do you prefer or recommend? As well as a heat gun? Is it recommended or do you need it?

Obrigado! Sim, você começa preparando o copo (lixando, lavando, secando e esfregando álcool) e, em seguida, pode começar a adicionar o glitter.

When I make epoxy glitter tumblers. The glitter seems really patchy. Is it normal to do more than one coat? Would it be better for me to use modge podge or epoxy to adhere the glitter?

If the glitter is patchy, then you should change the method you’re using to apply it. More than one coat of glitter is fine if you think it needs it.

@peppermae1 3 года назад

If I missed it, I apologize. How long do you let the epoxy set before you apply the second coat? Do you let it completely cure for a day or two before the next application?

Let it set until it’s dry and ideally not tacky anymore. The time will vary based on epoxy brand and weather.

@taytay2x1 4 года назад

How long before you waited to apply the 2nd layer of epoxy from the 1st layer?

@DIYAlex 4 года назад

@shannonvincent3710 2 года назад

With the heat gun does it take out all those bubbles that are in your tumbler (one in this video) bc it looks like the sanding job is being seen and idk the finished look seems bubbling and scratchy 😩

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

The sanding is supposed to make it look scratched. When you add epoxy over top of that once the alcohol wipes away the residue it makes it look smooth again! The heat gun definitely helps.

@kellyusher8351 2 года назад

So it’s 10 ml total for the glitter layer, 10 ml for the flood layer and then 20 ml for the top coat?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

No it would be more like 10mL for glitter, 20mL for the food coat, and 10-20mL for the top coat, but you’ll have to adjust based on how much your glitter absorbs the epoxy.

@bethanyesanchez6154 3 года назад

what can occur when leaving the heat on the epoxy too long?

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

In my experience it gets super thin and starts to drip off the tumbler.

@lauracooper4788 4 года назад

I have a few spots after my "flood coat" where the glitter is on there, but it is like the epoxy soaked into, if that makes sense. Should I worry about it or no since I still have to do a final coat?

@DIYAlex 4 года назад

At this point just go with it. Glitter sometimes absorbs the epoxy unevenly, but you can sand it down a little a fix it with the next coat of epoxy.

@debrayfreemanmcdowell7987 3 года назад

If you don't have a Garage and not enough space can you do it out side

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

Yes but you need to prevent bugs and dirt from getting on your cup during curing. Only while the weather stays above 70 degrees F.

Can you use the waterslide paper as you decal and then epoxy again?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

You sure can! Here's a tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fys80mdwbn0.html

So making a Tumblr is essentially just like doing your nails only easier. I think I’m not gonna make a business of this because I don’t like mass producing anything but for my own cups yes absolutely thank you for this video

How did the glitter stick to the tumbler before the epoxy?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

I used the epoxy method. You can find all the details in the earlier videos in this series ☺️

HELP!! I am having trouble with my flood coat. I appears to leave dry spots in areas. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

Next time try spraying your whole cup with clear acrylic sealer before epoxying and that should fix it.

@gabbs4090 4 года назад

if you were doing a cup with only vinyl would you have to seal it first or just add the epoxy after the vinyl :)?

@DIYAlex 4 года назад

You can do either! You don't have to seal it first before applying the vinyl if you don't want to.

Just starting with my epoxy everything is going great except application 😫 While wet on cup turner it looks completely covered and perfect after I leave it for a few hours and I go to check it it has like separation spots all over ! What can I do ? Please help 😅

Try spraying your cup with clear acrylic spray before applying epoxy. That should help with the epoxy staying put.

I have a question. I don't think I put enough epoxy on my first coat to sand it I'm afraid if I do sand it, it will mess up the cup. I didn't do the glitter, do I still need to sand before I add my second coat? I don't feel any roughness. Also if it don't feel rough do I still need to sand before applying decal?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

Don't sand directly on the glitter. If you don't think it feels rough, then you can just add another coat of epoxy over top without sanding. You still need to sand before adding glitter and epoxy regardless. :)
