Is this able to be used with plastic sports water bottles or plastic tumblers?? Also, what would you say is the durability of a waterslide decal on any given surface like tumbler or sports water bottle if it can be done on the latter...?? Thanks in advance☺️

Hello! 😃 I'm a new subscriber to your channel and also new to tumblers...so I watched your hocus pocus video and made a gold and white ombre tumbler, I have clear water slide paper but I went ahead and sealed it a couple of times and then sprayed it with white paint, I shouldn't have done that right? 🤔 Since the paper is clear it would've shown up on the white and gold tumbler without me having sprayed the white spray paint?
