Hi! I prepped a cup and spray painted it. No glitter will be applied to this cup. After the paint dries, would I epoxy it, sand it then apply the decal- as you did for this cup in the video? Or is it a different procedure?

If you have it spray painted you can apply the decal straight to the paint before epoxy if you want.

Where did you get the spinner from?

I have a few spots after my "flood coat" where the glitter is on there, but it is like the epoxy soaked into, if that makes sense. Should I worry about it or no since I still have to do a final coat?

At this point just go with it. Glitter sometimes absorbs the epoxy unevenly, but you can sand it down a little a fix it with the next coat of epoxy.

You should coat the entire tumbler evenly, unless you decide to tape off the bottom and not put any epoxy on if at all. But it sounds like you’re putting too much epoxy on the bottom, all you need to do is swipe a little on the bottom. I think less epoxy will help that issue!
