I have yet to accomplish a smooth tumbler. I spend more time sanding than I do creating. ☹ Every tumbler ends up with dents or fish eyes and I've tried so many things to prevent this, to no avail. This tumbler is BEAUTIFUL and I truly enjoyed watching the process. 🤗

Thank you!! I’ll be posting another video of this style tumbler this week using different colors as well! What helped me the most was switching my epoxy to Counter Culture Artist resin. It’s a thicker epoxy and helps coat the tumbler better which leaves less to be sanded. Also, after you add your glitter be sure to smooth it down with parchment paper so no jagged pieces are sticking up.

The video was cool but why would you not show the entire process? Like how you went about applying the epoxy and the resin? I have never seen this type of Tumblr and I would have liked to have seen how the Tumblr was made in its entirety
@AmericanMomCreations Жыл бұрын
I apologize for the inconvenience, this video was never intended to be a tumbler for beginners which is why I did not show applying the epoxy. But the epoxy is applied just like any other tumbler.

What kind of Mod Podge are you using? I always see tutorials where people use mod podge, but when I went to buy some there are like 16 types of it,
@AmericanMomCreations Жыл бұрын
You are right, there are quite a few options. I just use the regular Mod Podge Matte. It has a yellow label, and I have it linked in the description of the video in my Amazon Store under Crafting Supplies. Hope this helps!

No need the UV lamp?
@AmericanMomCreations Жыл бұрын
Yes, a UV lamp is absolutely required to cure the UV resin unless you want them to sit out in the sun for several hours.

Good Afternoon! You are exactly right. The file I have linked was the original file I used and then modified it to connect them together. That was before anyone had posted a connected file on Etsy. Here is the link to another listing that has the scales already connected.

do you have to dry the pigment first to activate it? Thanks
@AmericanMomCreations Жыл бұрын
You can let it air dry if you prefer. But yes, once it’s dry on the dark tumbler you will start to see the color change.
