    How are you preventing the epoxy from going inside the mug?

    @@pennypontillo3051 I don't move my fingers so that I pull any epoxy into the rim of the cup. If you notice when I apply epoxy, I always push out towards the edge. It will get some inside the mouth of the cup but I just clean that out with a razor blade and acetone afterwards. I actually have a video somewhere here on my channel where I show how I clean up the rims of the cups

    You should add less glue. Try lower down your glue ratio and add more distilled water. Some people like slow effect.

    I have a question. I did 2 wood grain tumblers with alcohol inks. Painted them white, did the whole ink-wood process like you did, let them dry overnight. I applied the 1st layer of epoxy and BOTH fish-eyed on me, as well as pulled my ink up and into the epoxy!! All of my hard work gone. What I can't figure out is WHY I got fish eyes?! They weren’t covered in oils, but it's not like I could wipe them down with alcohol or it would remove the ink. Any advice? Thanks

    I realize this video is a few year's old but just came across it. I absolutely love your video's. I've only seen a few so far, if you've answered this question on a video o haven't seen yet im sorry. Do you sell these ? How much do you charge if so. Im a bit confused on how brushing that paint on makes it look like wood, it actually did but how? Im waiting on on $$ for more supplies. Id really like to try something WITHOUT glitter

  • @KristisCustomCreations
    @KristisCustomCreationsАй бұрын

    I'm not currently selling them, just teaching others how to do it. When you brush the alcohol ink onto the spray painted pen, as it dries and you brush it, it gives a wood grained look to it. Check out the video I posted about doing the wood grain tumbler, is the exact same process, just a larger object. It will probably make a bit more sense watching it done on a larger object. I hope this helps!

    I literally was sitting here thinking the quickest way to make this design is the same way you did it but I didn't want to chance spotting/dimpling but I honestly did not think to use the mod podge for adhering vs epoxy. I just never use mod podge so I appreciate this video. I needed to do this design fast and this is it! thank you thank you lol

    Thank you for this. I just got this machine for my birthday. I've never sublimated before. The machine says not to heat it up without a cup in it yet I see hardly no one do that.....that doesn't mess up the machine or cause it to bubble? If you do use one do you just use an extra one you have laying around? I'm so confused by that.

I did the same parameters you mentioned (400 degrees for 120 sec, rotated and do another 120sec)(light to medium pressure) Well the paper stick in the glass that it can't be remove.
