Very nice video Ma'am. I'm trying to surprise my wife and do this waterside tumbler for her that she's been trying to get completed. You're a great teacher. 👍🏽

Than you so much for sharing your process, I had been trying to find a simple method to print on tumbler for details and stuff and all i could come up with was too complicated, I'm for sure doing this next time!

[@AG-we8gg]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. I watched other videos and thought ok I can do that. Then got problems with the image cracking not tearing but cracking up. It was horrible. But, I think I can see where I went wrong now. Thanks so much!

[@xMESx-og1fn]

Is it just regular ink in the printer or sublimination ink?

[@heatherbrown9324]

Awesome video, I appreciate you showing how to do this.. I do have a question though, why do you spray the decal with a clear coat spray?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

It’s habit. I feel the epoxy sticks better if I apply the spray sealer first.

[@Gearmoe122]

Thanks for the video! Quick question for you as I'm having issues with my water slide. How long do you leave it in the water and does the temperature of the water matter? Mine doesn't seem to be separating well and it's messing up the picture.

[@lisamancha149]

I love your work!! So amazing!! I want to start making tumblers. I have a question I live in an apartment.. I do have the mask but I’m afraid doing the tumblers in the kitchen right next to the door won’t be ventilated enough ? Any recommendations?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

You could always get two box fans. One in a window bringing air from the outside in, if possible, and the other fan facing out the door to help keep the air circulated. Just make sure the air isn’t blowing directly onto your work. You just want it to be lightly moving the air around and out.

[@suzettegarcia8519]

[@dimebag108]

Nice work. You talk about an epoxy lacquer, am i wrong? What lacquer is it, thet you lay before using the waterslide decals?

[@kimmied546]

Hi Sandy! So happy I ran across your video. Is it an easier way to know if a waterslide decal will show up on the color your using on your tumbler? I ran into this problem with a tumbler that I had already used brite tone on only to find out that the decal was waaay too transparent 😩😩 now I have another order on a different tumbler and am scared to even start glittering it because I’m not sure what color to use to make sure that the decal will show. Sorry so long! Lol

Hi great video. My question is what setting do you use for printing do you have it to print on plain paper or glossy

[@amydepeder9777]

2 questions: how long do you let the water slide dry for after it’s applied? And also do you add another layer of epoxy after the water slide?

[@orybamborybabee128]

Yeah she said she lets it dry for about 15 mins after applying the decal and then it’s ready to epoxy after it’s dried

[@joycelynmarty]

I really enjoyed you video thank you! I have a question though. Can you use sublimation ink/printer with water slides?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

That is a great question. And I am not sure lol. From what I was able to find they say no. It needs to be an inkjet printer.

[@cocoagirl18]

Hi, can I ask, how did you make the decal stay and not peel off? It was my first using it, and after a couple hours it peel off? is there any tip how to make it stick and stay? thank you in advance.

[@sayitwithatshirt]

How do you get your colors to come out so vibrant? I have an epson ecotank 2850 that I just bought & converted in to a sublimation printer. My inks are printing out very dull. Do you know how I can get my images to com out vibrant? Thank u

[@LULDEZGONZALEZDELGADO]

HI there, i just have a question, do always need to sand down your tumbler before you put the decal on it even if it already smooth?

[@michellecabral3739]

Hi. Thank you for this video! I have been trying to figure out how to cure the medium without putting it in the oven. I didn't know you could use epoxy. I would like to know what you use for epoxy please. I am trying to make some tumblers as gifts and just want to make sure I buy the right product. Thank you again. :)

If I want to add a photo to my tumbler, would water slide work or use printable vinyl ? I’m new at this so need help. Thanks. Loved the video

[@billiejamison9851]

Thanks! Have you ever layered waterslides on a tumbler/substrate? Or is that even possible?

[@aprilferguson2447]

So say I have a motorcycle helmet in black, would I be able to use this method and would I use white background or transparent?

[@alishakohler7851]

Can you just put on a spray painted cup without any epoxy? And do you have to seal with anything? Thank you for sharing this video!

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

You can add your images onto a plain painted cup. After you apply your image I do recommend sealing with an FDA compliant epoxy so the paint and images are sealed and last and the tumbler is safe to drink from.

[@aerithgainsborough]

Hello! So I'm just learning how to do these crafts. Haven't even started yet, but I got everything but the InkJet printer I need to buy. When it comes to the waterslide decals and the printer, does it matter what kind of ink you use? Is it the regular ink that comes with the printer or a special type? Also, what program do you use to make the decals? How do they come out with golden shiny letters? Lol. I'm very new to this, still learning! I need to know every detail before I attempt one. I've been looking at the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank printer, and the Canon MegaTank G3270 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer, which I hear good things about for Tumbler making. Would you say these are good for this?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

Great questions. I am using a standard inkjet printer with regular ink. I do try and make sure the quality is set to the best it can be when I print pictures. You can print from any program. I typically just use Cricut Design Space, but I’ve also printed from Word and GIMP photo editor before. I can’t speak to either of those printers, but I have heard good things about the EcoTank printers. I’m using an HP ENVY photo printer, but it’s nothing fancy.

[@makingMyHouseaHome412]

Thank you. I saw where someone used what you did and plasti-dip. I could not understand why.

[@annieferguson1084]

How do you make sure your glitter tumbler has a “smooth enough” surface? I’ve herd of some people sanding them but I’m not sure the best way!! Please help!

[@taylorisrael8760]

Hi, newbie here! Your video was so helpful, I feel like I can tackle this effectively! I do have one question, what is the purpose behind the spray? I like to know the why behind things and am curious, thank you!

[@jasminedeadwyler1270]

Spraying your waterslides help seal the them before you place them in the water just so the ink doesn't run off. The spray seals it.

[@arielsark_4639]

You do beautiful work and are very knowledgeable. I have been trying to figure out a process somewhat like waterslide- I only know 1 creator who does it and it's a "secret"😉 this is being used for pen wraps- I have bought these wraps , the wrap has a plastic film over mirrored image, you peel it of- image is sticky(it is on white paper) you stick it on just a little bit, then spray the back-white paper with water and the the image comes off on the pen as you roll it. I hope it diesnt sound to confusing, would you have any idea what paper is being used? The lady uses a cricut, wraps come off in a sheet and she cuts the wraps, I have researched all kinds of paper and cant figure it out😢

[@fatimahuerta7525]

Thank You for your video, very very helpful. I need to apply a clear full wrap waterslide and after epoxying and dried, I was left with with two little needle size protrusions and one bigger one. I know if I sand them, they will show under waterslide. Do you have any suggestions for this problem? Thank You ❤️

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

If you’re worried about the sanding showing through, just apply another coat of epoxy just to make sure it’s completely smooth for your application.

[@luckylaken4364]

Thank you for the very helpful video! My only question is, do you have to spray paint it or could you just lay the decal down and then expoy it to seal it in?

[@honeygirl522]

Great video! Will the Cricut cut out the image instead of doing it by hand? Just got my waterslide paper and my cup is ready for me to try this! Thanks!

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

Yes your Cricut will cut it for you. I’m just different and like cutting them myself lol.

[@susangundy1495]

Ofter you coat the water slide with epoxy. Do you need to cure it by baking it in a oven?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

You never want to put epoxy into your oven and bake it. It is a chemical and will release toxic fumes into your oven and home. Epoxy cures on its own over time while spinning on your turner. It takes 3/8 hours spinning then another 7 days to fully cure and be FDA compatible.

[@jayceelu5464]

I love your videos! So very helpful. You’re a great teacher. Do you ever have an issue with your ink bleeding after you apply the water slide? I was sure to seal mine with plasti glossifier and it bled. I did remove the no bleed option on my printer too! Perhaps I should try the rustoleum brand. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

Thank you! And it sounds like you may not be using enough of your spray sealer. I hear that people who use the plasti glossifier do a couple of coats. Next time you need to purchase a spray sealer I would give what I use a try. One good coat and done.

[@melaniefuselier8258]

What printer did you use for that? And what Cricut do you have

[@unitedsoccerchik00]

If you print multiple images to use later like you said (you just place them in your drawer) do you seal them right when you print and them store them or do you wait until you’re ready to use to seal them?

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

I seal them and then put them in my drawer so I can easily use them when needed.

But I didn’t see you do that, and I just wanted your opinion on that before I purchase it because now I’m confused lol

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

I don’t mirror my images. I know some mirror theirs and apply it by facing it down onto the tumbler then sliding the backing off. I just do it as the instructions on the package state, or as you see me do it in my video.

[@SandysOrganizedChaos]

You can print from anywhere. I use my Cricut if I need to edit the image or use the cut to print feature. I get my images from places like Etsy, and CreativeFabrica. You can also get images from Cricut Design Studio. I hope this helps 🤗💖

Do you HAVE to print that image from your cricut app or can it just be regular print ? Also can you seal with mod podge spray ?

If you're cutting by hand, use another program. It's pointless to print from design space if you're not using the cricut to print it.
