Hydro Dipping Two Tumblers in Easy Marble Paints 

I said weeeeeee!!!!!!! It happens!

@@RaesTurquoiseTurtle 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks!! There’s often an extremely small window of opportunity, lol!!

Thanks!! 😁😁

Thanks!! Lol!!! I still have no idea what actually happened - I’ve never experienced that to such a degree, and there was no breeze or tilt to the table or anything. 🤣🤣🤣

@@Luxinda 🤣🤣🤣 definitely had a mind of it's own!

Thanks very much, Kim!! Have a great weekend 😁😁😁

Thanks! To clean the top rim, I use an X-acto knife (a box cutter would work too) to scrape off any resin, then I clean the top and inside with acetone on a paper towel, then I use dish soap on a sponge and water to wash the entire tumbler.

So you don’t leave a thin line of bare stainless steel at the top so the epoxy has something to adhere to and make a seal, correct? I’ve seen so many different ways to clean up the top, I’m not sure what’s the easiest and of course the best when it comes to putting the epoxy on.

@luckypnut, yes, I do leave a thin line of stainless for the final resin layer - that part happens before the last layer of resin is applied. I thought you were asking about how I clean the rim the final time, which is after the last resin layer is on and cured when the tumbler is ready to package and ship. I apologize if I misunderstood the question.

Actually, you understood perfectly. So what do you do to get the thin line of stainless steel at the top?

@luckypnut use a fine grit sanding block or sponge with a very light hand. Other folks use a dremel (or dog toenail grinder tool - same thing) with a sanding flywheel, but I don’t trust myself not to slip and really mess things up, lol.

It’s fun! Enjoy 😁

After the hydro-dipped cups dried thoroughly, I sealed with a layer of clear spray paint, then I applied 2 layers of epoxy resin.

Have fun!

Thank you so much!!😊😊
