[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

Ahhh, yes to the heat! I am new to tumblers but I do know that heat makes resin run nicely and also cure faster in the long run. Very nice tutorial!

[@MrsNosbig]

I love how alcohol inks transform. It’s all about trusting the process because they go from an absolute mess to mesmerizing 😍😍😍

I love your channel 💜 I'm wondering if I can use alcohol inks and for the white, use white resin dye? I finally got inks and it didn't come with a mixative and there's no chance of finding rubbing alcohol, unfortunately. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach as all 😊

[@kimmason1627]

Thank you for your videos. When making a tumbler with two coats of epoxy that does not need sanding ... do you clean epoxy in between coats and if so how ? Thank you very much.

[@blancachavez4018]

Thanks 👍🙂I loved

[@monicad2037]

Love how your tumblers turn out, I do have a question. How much ml of epoxy do you apply the 2nd time if you decide to put a decal on the tumbler?

Yea, I think im gonna make myself alcohol tumblers. The glitter is too messy! Great videos! Thank you.

[@bethspeece2401]

love it

[@lynnenc]

Beautiful cup! I'm doing a white glitter base and want to add alcohol inks to it. What's the best way to do it? Should I just do the glitter, then epoxy and then sand, then add another coat of epoxy and do the inks then on the wet epoxy?

[@mr.benjamin2478]

I did it!!!❤️

[@MissKissKreations]

Awesome!!!!

[@thomaspyott1684]

Can you tell me what turner motor you have please, ours are slow compared to tours in this video. We need one Bad! Thanks!!

[@rachpreach]

I bought gloss spray paint not knowing. Could I use it and then lightly sand it to roughen the surface before epoxy?

[@jeffreypugh1200]

It did help

[@saramcdaniel2360]

Do you have to wpoxy the tumblet after it has cured completely of you arent using a decal?

[@justmist2u]

Hi I love your video, can you start with tumblers that are already painted when purchased? Thank you!

[@MissKissKreations]

Make sure they are sanded well enough. Epoxy doesn’t like to stick to those “already painted tumblers”

[@irvingreen7060]

Just found your page love how your tumblers turn out I do have a question when adding vinyl do you add it before you add a second coat of epoxy and add the epoxy over the vinyl

[@MissKissKreations]

yes. Vinyl then epoxy to seal the vinyl in

[@saramcgee5786]

Loveit❤❤

[@marianne5594]

How much would you recommend selling it for ? Something like that ? Im trying to start doing that soon but in new to this.

[@shannonvincent3710]

Once you get the look you want do you put a last coat of Epoxy?

[@jaime9061]

I know this video was made a few years ago. I am just starting out on the tumblers. I am waiting for my alcohol ink to come, can I use craft smart resin inks?

[@Omolabake1]

Your video are very interesting, I would like to.know if their are other materials asides from stainless we can use epoxy on such as plastic will epoxy stick?

[@MissKissKreations]

Epoxy will stick to any material except silicon. I’ve never epoxied a plastic cup before only because I feel plastic is weaker and eventually the epoxy may cure into the cup ? I’m not too sure though and not an expect at all ok epoxying plastic cups.

[@carlajoan4753]

If you didn’t put a decal would you still put another layer of epoxy? I find my tumbler is very bumpy

[@karinavelasquez5923]

Love your videos... I'm thinking about doing a cup like this but with some glitter. My question is where in this process would I add the glitter? Thanks in advance

[@amya7066]

Karina Velasquez Hey you could add glitter to your last epoxy coat or the coat before you put on vinyl sticker if you choose to do that.

[@MissKissKreations]

Thank you for responding!!!

[@sandragower298]

Do you tape the rim or inside of cup before painting?

[@lorettaanderson304]

Can I use a stainless steel with silicone coating instead of spray painting it??

[@emilywilliams2084]

Do you sand before you prep with alcohol??

[@rachpreach]

Where did you get the blue mat under the cup?

[@torimperez]

Where do you get the decals? I am trying to gather everything I need so I can start doing this! I am retired now and have a bunch time on my hands this like I would enjoy doing! But need to what are the basics tools to start ! I know need paint, I know I need glitters, I know I need a tumbler, I know I need some much more? Doing have a list of must haves?

[@ra-mm8cu]

My mom makes tumblers and ive seen she uses epoxy (of course), a cup turner, a heat gun, alcohol inks, cups and popsicle sticks for mixing the epoxy, parchment paper to put under the cup to catch glitter and resin that falls, and spray paint.

[@specialk8927]

How do you get rise of the black alcohol ink that's inside the top of the cup

[@vanushrrxivanova470]

Is this going to work if i use liquid rein pigments instead of the alcohol ink? What is the difference?

[@tracyshearer804]

How long do you have to let the spray paint dry

[@ShilpaPatel-wl8tb]

Just starting to try tumbler making. Do you have to spray paint when you prep or can you use acrylic paint?

[@MissKissKreations]

You can use either or

[@sabrinadiaz4436]

Is satin spray paint good

[@andrayacosta2860]

Thank you! Did you sand and then add another layer of epoxy after it dries?

[@MissKissKreations]

If there are areas where I found the inks didn’t stick or epoxy fish eyed, I will epoxy again. To be safe. Epoxy a thin layer. Or. If you want to decal, decal then epoxy.

[@kamerynk6064]

@@MissKissKreations do we still need to prep it if it’s already white if we buy them at the store?

How do you get alcohol ink off of the stainless steel tumbler? I got it on the inside of the cup. Please help

[@pocha1011]

What if I'm not too happy about how it ended can put another coat and do more alcohol inks

[@cbethea305]

How can I clean spray paint that got inside the cup?

[@ListenToPeopleWhoKno]

Nice work it looks great. Just wondering how toxic is that stuff since you are wearing gas mask and is it safe to put it on something you will be drinking out of?

[@MissKissKreations]

Once cured, there is no smell and not toxic. Most are FDA approved. If you don’t want to put your mouth on it, you can always use a straw.

[@antonioc3913]

If you don't have 91% alcohol what should you use?

[@tweeter05ify]

If you dont add a decal, are you done after the while drying process you explained or do you do another thin coat of epoxy? Thanks!

[@MissKissKreations]

I would add the decal then add 30 ml of epoxy

[@joycelynowens404]

I think i did something wrong mines doesn't have the same effect can u tell me that I did wrong please

[@devin529]

Can you tell me why my ink is bubbling? The alcohol ink turns into bubbles exposing the white primer, no matter how much ink I do.

[@XenaWarrior95]

Do u need a fast speed to do this kind tumblers? I only have 1 speed turner

[@MissKissKreations]

Any speed works!

[@nicoledickel4360]

How do you get the epoxy smooth without any bumps? I can’t seem to make it smooth. After dry I will run my fingers over it and it feels uneven. Thanks

[@MissKissKreations]

Make sure your turner and table is level. This may your issue

[@dorothyesther1772]

Can you use regular matte paint? I live in an apartment building and have nowhere I can safely spray spraypaint.

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes you may

[@karawatson3169]

My white ink won’t spread and separate??? What am I doing wrong?

[@ccullen1020]

After the alcohol ink stage as cured it’s 12 hrs do you sand, decal and epoxy? I’m wanting to try this method but not sure if a tumbler can be sanded after alcohol ink.

[@MissKissKreations]

You can sand lightly if it’s needed. But don’t have to. Apply the decal then epoxy

[@ccullen1020]

@@MissKissKreations thank you!

[@dbcjeri]

If I don’t add a decal to this and just want this do I still need another layer of epoxy?

Yes you will need to add another layer of epoxy if you add a decal to seal decal in! :)

[@jeffreyculpepper987]

I spray painted my tumbler like you said and added the epoxy then the ink but as it spun it created spot that the ink and epoxy didn't stick I guess a fish eye is what you called it. I'm just wondering what I could have done wrong and how to avoid it

[@MissKissKreations]

Make sure you prepped your tumbler properly, wiping it down with 91% alcohol And a lot of times when you heat up your tumbler then add alcohol ink immediately after, the ink spreads because the cup is still hot. Wait for the cup to cool down after applying heat

[@viridianacabreraasaf1977]

You mention that we need a white alcohol ink, does a white mixative from Tom Holtz work?

[@MissKissKreations]

I would suggest white alcohol ink and not a mixative. The mixative s are too thick and won’t mix or swirl

[@viridianacabreraasaf1977]

Miss Kiss Kreations thank you for replying!! I just got done with ordering a white alcohol ink!! Super excited to try your project! 🥳

[@lashundaj88able]

How do you keep from getting paint inside the tumbler?

[@MissKissKreations]

I allow the paint in the cup. I just clean out the inside. Check out my video on how I clean out the inside of a tumbler! :)

[@kimmajor4301]

Newbie here, do you have to add so many colors? Could a person use only 3 colors?

[@MissKissKreations]

You can add as many or little colors as you like

[@lillyricskitchen5115]

Can your tumbler be black to do pink and blue or does it have to be white

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes

[@ubercutegurl12]

What if you don’t have a turning thing.

[@mikesmith2102]

I'd use a better epoxy, one with low VOC so you don't have to use a respirator. Great videos. Do you apply a top coat over the color coat?

[@MissKissKreations]

Thank you. And if some areas fish eye, I will epoxy over. Or if I decal, I will decal then epoxy.

[@CrystalWilliams-rt3zm]

How can you get this effect if the turner you have want unscrew

[@lindagunnin4594]

Need to know this as well

[@CrystalWilliams-rt3zm]

Linda Gunnin I just took my whole turner and moved it around and got the swirl but I want to get a turner that you can remove the arm

[@jeffreypugh1200]

I need your help. It's not that hard to miss it up because I did. For some reason mine never does what I need it to do

[@rholtzclaw1]

I have watched it several times, and finally attempted my first alcohol ink/epoxy tumbler, the epoxy has numerous bubbles and I couldn't get them out. Cup it ruined. As far as I am concerned. HELP, please.

[@nicoledickel4360]

Will a blender solution work because I can’t find white alcohol ink.

[@MissKissKreations]

As long as it isn’t too think. It needs to be the consistency of alcohol ink to get that swirl.

[@Hlfpnt]

Can you use a matte paint as a base instead of spray painting it?

[@MissKissKreations]

I would still still sand and spray paint over. Just in case the epoxy doesn’t want to stick to the surface

[@Hlfpnt]

@@MissKissKreations okay thank you! Was just asking because I saw someone do a video with the matte paint to prep her tumbler but she was putting glitter on it after! So I wasn't sure if it would work with alcohol inks also!

[@bobbypearcy541]

What Company let you test there cup Turner?

[@hopkinsmommy1202]

Usually when you have a social media account with a bunch of followers, the companies reach out to you. I got an awesome cup Turner on Amazon.

[@teararich250]

I have some questions if you have time to answer them

[@campanellacreations3764]

Just wondering-I have used resins a lot but not with dyes .. My cup is a little sticky--not the kind of sticky you get when you don't mix properly. Just wondering if its normal. also, I get some dry spots on the tumbler even though I wiped with alcohol and used gloves and plenty of resin.

[@a-zcrazy1676]

How can I get red to stay red not pink once I add the white?

[@MissKissKreations]

Maybe add some orange. Remember, adding white to any alcohol ink color will change it lighter. So, you may have to start with a different color to achieve your desired colors.
