Is it more heat friendly than epoxy?

[@devildollcustomcreations]

The crystalac? Maybe a tiny bit but no not really, neither could be left in a car in summer. You would need powder coated, or sublimation tumblers for that

I don't understand why I get lines in mine when before I even put on BriteTone, it is streaked with glitter and it doesn't level out, I am so frustrated. I don't get the glass-like finish you do. What am I doing wrong?

[@devildollcustomcreations]

It could be your BT is drying too fast, is why your getting streaks. What is the temp in your room? Streaked with glitter, meaning your glitter moves? Are you doing E6000 and smooshing the glitter 2-3times before moving onto BT? The question about leveling out, you might be putting on too thick of a coat. I’ve had these happen to me when I tried to rush a tumbler and I had a few spots like the texture of paint dripped around my tumbler. Does this help at all?

Can you use the bright tone in the house or do i need to go outside or the garage???

[@devildollcustomcreations]

So I work in my shop which is its own room in my house. I don’t do anything in the kitchen or around my kids toys ect, my shop has an open window with a fan blowing while I’m in my shop. With that said I do all this because I’m still working with epoxy in my shop as well. Crystalac is not epoxy and doesn’t have all the chemicals that epoxy has, so I’ve seen people use it in all different parts of the house. I’m just overly careful when it comes to my boys 😁 I hope this helps, if not please let me know if I need to clarify anything else. Thank you

How long does e6000 take to dry?

[@devildollcustomcreations]

I normally let mine dry 20 mins before BUT the time kind of depends on how heavy your sprays are. If you touch it and it still feels wet just wait a little longer.
