How I Epoxy Tumblers
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a rundown of my epoxy process and how I get my tumblers pretty smooth and bubble-less. It is really a quite simple test of patience and don't mess with it too much. I hope this helps but if it doesn't or you have other questions, leave me a comment or check out my Facebook Group: / 2645754805689060

I have no intention of ever recreating these absolutely gorgeous toomblers, but you are just so darn funny!! I keep watching your vids because I have to pause to laugh then rewind and watch again, several times per video!!! 😂 Oh yes and also you are incredibly talented yes 🙃
Yes!! Just learning, I didn't even know to mix both them😅🤣 having adhd I had to slow down and really learn about it, I thought one was gloss and one matte🤦♀️🤷♀️ but loving it now still learning. Got stripping tumblers down pat😅🤣 I don't give up!!!
Thanks for the tips I will try them out. I keep getting fish eyes. Love your videos!!
I don’t have a heater, but I got out my little coffee cup warmer thingy-sat my medicine cup of epoxy on it while it was warm and mixed it-oh my goodness gracious!!! Game changer! Absolutely no air bubbles! It makes me want to try some deeper pours-and the labeling of the lids is gilden! thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this! I already do all of these things, and getting a smooth coat is still hit and miss for me. I’m fairly certain that there are evil epoxy spirits haunting my studio. Weekend before last, I did everything exactly the same as I have always done, and every tumbler I put epoxy on repelled REALLY bad. I’ve never had any issues with epoxy repelling before! It’s so frustrating to think I’m on the final coat only to find the surface full of bumps. I wish there were tumbler makers in my area who were willing to get together in person for tips & tricks meetings.

Humidity is a booger for epoxy too👎
Every time you say focus, I think you're talking to me😅🤣
So do I need to mod podge after this? I’m new to tumblers and someone I know told me I need to use waterproof mod podge at the end.
do you use the same technique- with more time in between the 2 coats- with regular epoxy?
Sorry I am new and just found your channel....is there a difference between the torch or heat gun?
How do i prevent small circular "holes" in the epoxy coat. They seem to form as it is drying. Is that why you put a second coat on? I used flat black paint, but I still get them. Are they "fisheyes?"
You can also microwave it for 5-10 seconds depending how much you are mixing. You know Mother Nature is about to crank up the temps. Do you use the heater during the summer? I also found it is much better to mix in small batches. I have some cups to work on today and I was also going to try warming the cups slightly before I apply the resin. I've noticed that when I spread the resin (I use the same method as you.) it will cool suddenly and not be as fluid in parts. I feel like pre-warming the cup just a little might help a lot.

Great tips, thanks for sharing!! btw, is Alumilite Amazing Quick Coat your everyday epoxy now, or was this more of a test/review?

I would say for moulds the Alumilite Deep Pour - thin and takes longer to cure so it has zero bubbles. For tumblers I would get Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast and a set of the Piñata alchohol inks - of course you would need a turner also

As a final coat does it have a UV protection. If not is that okay? When is it important to have UV protection and when it’s not so much a worry? Sorry! I’ve been trying to find a way to use my UV changing glitter and micas but all the “compliant” epoxy has UV problem and kills the effect 🥴 so if I can just use a quick coat as a final it may solve it 🎊🎉
