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.

@2danniegrl 4 жыл бұрын

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

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?

@joslynklinkel8960 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@MissKissKreations 2 жыл бұрын

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”

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!

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?

@Araceli8488 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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
