I am currently going through a contact dermatitis due to epoxy and I buy my epoxy from Michaels. But my hand are crazy itchy and that’s why I’m here today. I have been making tumblers and other things for almost 4 years now. Thanks for your video hun ❤

After watching a few of your videos, I ordered my first bottle of Crystalac Grande Finale. I'm nervous to use it, but epoxy is killing me slowly, I'm sure (have crazy dermatitis every time I make a tumbler.) Your videos are wonderful, lots of great tips and info. Thank you so much for what you do!!!

Thank you for this. I just developed, out of nowhere, a pretty serious allergy to epoxy. I was hoping it was brand specific and tried another to no avail. I ordered my Brite tone and grand finale, yesterday. So, any tips and tricks or advice I can gather up is very much appreciated. I had just purchased some new molds, too. So, I’m seriously bummed out about that. I currently feel like a snake with all of this skin I have flaking off as a result of the swelling around my eyes. I have to wear shades if I go anywhere. It feels very much like a chemical burn.

My grand finale is starting to get chunks forming inside the bottle. When i go to use it, it looks like little pieces of snot throughout, sorry that sounds gross. Does it expire? Ive only had it about 5 months. Shaking it up makes it worse. Any tips?

HOPE YOU SEE ThIS….I have some projects that won’t be able to be spun. For example larger ceramic pots bowls and platters. If I can spin the product, do you still recommend using the Grand Finale or Brite Tone. I have been REALLY looking for an answer because I live overseas and ordering either will be pricy. Wanna make a good choice! 🥰 If you have any insight, I appreciate it!!! Ps my channel shows the pots I am doing. But I want to venture into some flatter products… nEW SUB! Love your tumblers!
