Etching with Citristrip is so fun, but the stakes are high when you are etching a Yeti. You don't want to mess it up because it's not cheap. Learn step by step how to etch a painted Yeti tumbler using citristrip and your Cricut. I also show you how to step it up a notch and use a heat gun for a quicker etch. These make great presents or elegant items to sell.
Big shoutout to M2C1Designs on TikTok who originated the process.
UPDATE: Since posting this video, I've done a litte more research on Citristrip safety. Please see my post about safety: www.beeskneescreates.com/is-i...

I did this without heat on a white 20 oz Yeti and it took 2 hrs and a lot of scrubbing to come off. I also did a rub down on it with acetone afterward to clean the edges and remove the suck on bits. I wouldn't recommend using the acetone on non-Yeti tumblers as the powder coating is not as durable and may remove color from the non-treated areas.

Thanks for the acetone tip. Always looking for ways to make those edges even crisper.

Thank you so much for this tutorial and the cheat sheets!! I had tried and failed and was about to totally scrap my plans but after watching your tests I am definitely going to try again. Do you think we can take the coating off a ruined tumbler and then etch it, to at least reuse it??

@BeesKneesSVG Жыл бұрын

Yay! I’m so glad the video inspired you to keep going. Once you get it, it’s totally worth it. If you have a really intricate design with fine lines and you are using a heat gun, you might even want to back the temp down to 550 for a Yeti just to be extra safe. Yes, I’m totally going to try to strip my failed Yetis down and etch them. I’ll do a video about it when I do it. 😁 Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Can you wrap it in foil and put it in a Mug Press to apply the heat as opposed to using a heat gun?

@BeesKneesSVG Жыл бұрын

I love the creativity here! I don't have a mug press, so I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how much you press it. If you press it too hard, the Citristrip will just be pushed aside and there might not be enough to work against the paint. If you don't push it too hard, I wonder if it'll get hot enough. If you try it, let me know!

Hi. Thank you so much for the all the information you provided in this video. Super helpful. What is your experience on light coloured yetis? All the darker ones I've done have turned out very well but I've ruined several light coloured ones. Seems to me that finish will not come off nearly as easily.

@BeesKneesSVG Жыл бұрын

Hi! I looked back over all the Yeti’s I’ve done and for some reason they are all dark (which is weird bc pink and white are favorite tumbler colors for me). I do know on other tumblers the success can vary widely based on paint colors. If I do a light one, I’ll let you know how it works out for me.

Can you run the etched tumbler through the dishwasher or will the edges began to peel?

Hi! I’ve found that as long as the tumbler is dishwasher safe to start with - you can keep putting it through the dishwasher.

Can you tell me the vinyl you used? I tried a scrap piece of vinyl and after 40 minutes my vinyl melted. I’ll be honest I have no idea what brand it was.

@BeesKneesSVG Жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes, I always use Teckwrap Vinyl as my stencils. It's nice and thick and has never melted (even under heat). I use the matte finish, but I don't think that really matters. Here is a link: amzn.to/3ORc2YQ

Greetings does the tumbler have to be coated Thanks in advance

@BeesKneesSVG 3 ай бұрын

Hi! It has to be a powder coated tumbler. Most tumblers you find in the stores are powder coated. If you painted it yourself, however, it will not work well.

I have not done a Thermos brand yet. Some brands are tougher than others. It even varies sometimes with paint color within the same brand. I had a blue Stanley I just couldn't get to work. Are you able to do a test spot on the bottom?

@@aceonweb I did do a Stanley. It did not turn out well. I did a Cornflower Blue 30 oz Stanley. It had the matte (rough) finish paint. I could not get the finish to budge. I've seen people have success with the smooth shiny paint finish on the Stanley. I would start with that.

Can you do this with chalk couture stencils?

@BeesKneesSVG 6 күн бұрын

Hi! I've never used chalk couture stencils. If they are pretty sticky, and you rub them down well and hit them with some heat, I imagine you can. If they peel off pretty easily, I would skip it.

Do you think it would hurt to do it 1.5 - 2 hours?

@BeesKneesSVG Жыл бұрын

Hi! At the one hour point I would start checking it every 15 minutes. Just scrape it a little to see how it’s doing. The only danger of leaving it on too long is it can start to eat away at the paint under the vinyl a little. Have fun!
