You do a great job!!

[@zeuszoe429]

Hello! I started using grand finale thanks to discovering your channel! I am applying pressed flowers to my Stanley tumblers but want to keep their color… I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so trying to figure out the process on my own. I sand my Stanley then add the flowers +glue then use grand finale to coat. Am I doing this right? Not sure if I should prep differently, thank you!

[@lynnsmith8121]

First time watcher. New to crystalac

[@deborahevors4850]

I just got mine today and I want to make sure how to use it

[@kimmied546]

Thanks for the vid! I was trying to find the answer to my questions so you wouldn’t have to repeat! But do you need to sand between several coats of GF? And can you use BT and GF over each other? I have several tumblers that still need BT coats but can I use GF over them to finish?

[@kimmied546]

I heard the answer for using both BT and GF.. just need to know about sanding between coats of GF.. thanks!

[@AlisonCrafts]

Yes you’ll sand every 3 coats! It will get smoother faster

[@BellaTheUnloved]

Hi, I stopped making tumblers a couple years ago and I was using all the crystalac products and I was seemingly happy with that. I have been using one of my cups about one time a week and seems to be holding up well what is the longest you up have a Tumblr for … Seeing the longevity and durability?

[@AlisonCrafts]

I made my first set of tumblers with crystalac in 2019…all still get used and in great condition!!!

[@ladybluu5981]

Wow … still waiting on a reply on if you can use crystallec sealer on plastic cups

[@valleriemyer2006]

Alison, thank you so much for this video. Your teaching skills are awesome. This video is a must see for anyone using or considering using Crystalac. 🥰

[@AlisonCrafts]

Thank YOU!

[@user-np9el9qo8q]

Can I use just glitter glue for all of it or do I have to use grande finale or bright tone to finish it? Is grande finale dish washer safe? I’m just starting off and trying to find the best solution for my budget

[@kimmajor4301]

I have tried epoxy and hate it because of bubbles. Does this product have the same issues with bubbles. I love watching your videos.

[@oceansoracle]

I would love it if you can show if u can use Crystallac products to make the light up tumblers.

[@dtx-outkast1817]

Can you use with regular acrylic paint as a base?

[@ladybluu5981]

Can you use this on plastic cup as a sealer

[@suecarey-bradley805]

Alison, I just ordered the new Grande Finale and cannot wait to get it. I've been using Crystalac products for over 2 years and I think this will be amazing. I also need to just add, I'm obsessed with your tumbler on your profile picture. I've searched through your videos and can't seem to find a video for this particular cup. Can you share what colors you used, and especially what glitter you used? Thank you for all of your amazing videos. You've been so extremely helpful and inspirational.

[@AlisonCrafts]

Thank you!! This is the cup: kzbin.infozlWqUGUZHM8 Glitter is Cosmo from Glitzy Kreations !

[@lorena617]

I got mine today GF is amazing I felt the difference between BT right away, it feels thicker but very smooth and it does have a smell compare to BT but not strong enought to bother me and im very sensitive to strong smells

[@AlisonCrafts]

ya i feel like it just smells different

[@reginamalcolm622]

Love your videos you give the good details I’m thinking about trying the stuff you use because I have COPD so can’t do the chemical mixing stuff

[@TheTimrodlady]

Using Britetone but having issues with it coming off.

Thank you so much for doing this video !! It answered so many of my questions.

[@AlisonCrafts]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@christineking7469]

I’ve asked on couple videos about this product I want to work will waterslides and temporary tattoos can I use them with this and if so how would you seal them tks😊😊

[@deborahevors4850]

I don’t have bright tone so I will stay with the grand finale 😊

[@georgialewis7645]

Hey I'm watching replay...Busy busy getting kidos back to school..excited to watch this one!!

[@AlisonCrafts]

such a busy time! So glad you could stop by here :)

[@jenniferdeer9528]

Thank you for another awesome tutorial Alison! Also, I may have missed it, but why do you prefer applying your glitter with BT or GF as opposed to GG?

[@AlisonCrafts]

I just get better coverage with GF!

[@judyfellows6758]

I was using epoxy before

[@maryhartmann7268]

I am new to tumblers. I have no supplies at all. Not sure if this is something I want to do I am on a extremely tight budget so I need to get minimum supplies. I have watched a lot of your videos and I an totally confused. I would appreciate your help. Thanks

[@northernspirit87]

Hello, I use the Brite Tone for all my tumblers, does this new product grand finale replace the Brite Tone?

[@krisgreen408]

Does Grand finale need a certain humidity like Brite tone?

[@joycepyor3178]

What did you use as your glitter glue

[@mymeshll72]

Can you use a tumbler dryer like you do with epoxy? I can cure epoxy in 2-3 hours in my dryer. Can you speed up the process with a dryer since you have to use so many coats?

[@AlisonCrafts]

No, just gotta wait the 2 hours ❤️

[@lesliecalhoun4837]

Hey! I made my husband a basic black tumbler, but the tumbler start chipping at the top rim. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@AlisonCrafts]

Probably didn’t prep enough on the top

[@cynthiadaniels2375]

Can you use grand finale if that was a glitter vinyl wrap as opposed to glittering it yourself?

[@broneciamchuen8195]

[@debbiethomas5518]

I’ve applied my decals and sprayed with a clear sealer. How long before I can apply the grand finale?

[@AlisonCrafts]

48 hours

[@sharonkirkland5930]

I don’t have instagram how can I order one of your turners??? And how much are they?

[@AlisonCrafts]

I’m not currently selling them. You can get one on Amazon though: amzn.to/3lIurPc

[@dianehedricks7860]

I’m such a newbie, please pardon the question.🥺 Do you have to use a blade to scrape the top edge? Do you also have to use glitter glue to seal the glitters or can you use Grand Finale? I’m so new and have not made a tumbler before.🥺

[@AlisonCrafts]

I use glitter glue to seal and then do coats of grand finale! And yes an xacto knife to clean the edge!

[@dianehedricks7860]

@@AlisonCrafts thank you!

[@snoopy-hp2tl]

I'm new to this all doing pens

[@MariaRodriguez-nb7vl]

Hello, when using fine glitter how many coats of GF do you use before sanding.

[@AlisonCrafts]

Seal with glitter glue and then 3 coats of GF

[@christineking7469]

Could you link the turners plz

[@angelaschumacher2444]

I am new to the Crystalac process. I feel like my tumblers are never smooth. They have slight ridges in them like they aren’t self leveling. I have tried with a brush and my hand. Any ideas?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Have you sanded yet?

[@angelaschumacher2444]

@@AlisonCrafts I have. I did a little research and it seems my humidity is to low causing it to dry to fast.

[@honeyb01]

What do you clean your taklon brushes with? I tried Putting BT on with my taklon brushes and even though I cleaned them with dawn dish soap, they were never the same afterwards

[@AlisonCrafts]

I just rinse them with water when i'm done with them :)

[@lisahurlburt1052]

What is the difference between Brite Tone and Grande Finale?

[@roxyquiles3749]

hey question, how fast can I ship my tumblers with this product?

[@christineking7469]

When are gonna do more videos using this tks

[@AlisonCrafts]

All of my recent videos are using the grande finale 🥰

[@eidysoza3973]

Hi Allison I wanted to see if you could help me on how to do the glass soda can cup? I am not adding glitter so do I have to sand as many times as if If you would do a glitter cup. Im just putting a decal on the cup

[@AlisonCrafts]

are you using grand finale on it? if you are, yes you need to sand. if not, just vinyl is great too!

[@marivlach1775]

Hi Alison, I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing with all of us! What is the brand of the brush that you use? I was using the brite tone on a Christmas ornament and discovered bristles from the brush after it had hardened. I can’t get them out.

[@AlisonCrafts]

[@toribates7901]

Can you use this over BT because i have some cups that have some coats of BT on them but was thinking about finishing them with GF but dont want to mess them up if you cant.

[@AlisonCrafts]

yes you can!

Started my 1st Tumblr today

Will GF work on acrylic blanks or just for tumblers ?

[@AlisonCrafts]

it can be used on acrylic blanks too!

[@jenniferthomas7201]

I'm not sure if I missed it in the video, but if you use spray paint do you have to wait for it to gas off like BT?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Yes you do

How long do you have to wait after spray paint? I'm not sure what gassing off is?

You can still use your brite tone and switch later! or use both on the cups

I am sacred to use it because it is new product to the market , maybe after few years we may discover it is toxic, is this possible?

it's water resistant and works great on glass

[@loriwilliams6207]

Hi

[@AlisonCrafts]

hello!

[@19madeline427]

Stick with BT until they figure out the GF. Batches with chunks, too thick and horrible service because they are letting their customers pay for a manufacturing issue. Wasted $90 and they keep telling everyone it is user error... it isn't.
