Drip Tumbler HACK! | NO EPOXY FOR DRIPS!

[@daniellecrawford8249]

I am like 3 weeks in to learning to do things with epoxy resin, and I feel like I hit the jack pot with your channel. I am a hobby cake decorator and I am attempting to make a 3D dragon tumbler that I thought was an original idea..NOT…lol…like cake decorating I have noticed so many wonderful people like yourself willing to share their talents with newbies like me. Thank you.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I’m so happy to hear that!!💜

[@bruderd1962]

I too went from cake decorating to tumblers 3 years ago. Love the 3D tumblers too. Hint. To make your dragon scales pop use Mica Flakes. Amazon sells them. It gives a really sparkly effect. You can make scales with dish soap bubbles in UV resin. It is a lot more fun than placing scales on and hoping you get it covered well enough with epoxy. Happy Crafting!

[@mistycolian534]

Can I give this tumbler like 10 hearts! SO ADORABLE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thanks so much!!💜

[@teresalynn8717]

Messy means greatness never apologize girl!!!

[@honey562012]

I tried this after trying quickset. The mod podge method worked and I'm just waiting for it to dry. Thanks for sharing.

[@myohmy7264]

Absolutely love your tutorials I'm just getting started myself and my comfort zone is glitter and tattoos right now but I'm going to try some of your tutorials I don't have a great deal of supplies yet but I'm getting there thanks for sharing 😊

[@bruderd1962]

Yes, great tutorial. You can use epoxy, paint and cornstarch too.

[@lindamickiewicz7146]

I use puff paint for my drips. Works like a charm and no mess. You put it all around the top of your cup then tap the bottom on your hand until you get it the way you want.

[@bonniehaddock844]

That’s great. I haven’t done the drip because of the epoxy myself. So it’s nice to see a different easier way!!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

It’s way easier !!💜

[@elizabethmccarty5116]

Wow! I'm so glad you did this method. The epoxy method was so messy and I messed up multiple cups and had lost hope. But I just tried this and omg it works wonderfully and if I mess up I can wipe it off. Thank you!!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

You’re so welcome!

[@tmc4609]

So glad you did this, I LOVE POOH BEAR! 🥰🥰❤️❤️ I’m going to do a cup like this for myself an I just turned 30. 😁

[@colleenbroeker2393]

I’m going to the store to get corn starch n more mod lodge. I’m making beer mugs You read my mind for my frustration tonight.

[@tinahaynes175]

Cute cup and love the corn starch trick!! I've been looking for a way to do it because I'm epoxy free. If you don't like epoxy you should try Crystalac products and ditch it for good. Then you can get out of your shed and do your tumblers in the house. If you have the space lol. There's no PPE needed. I apply it with my bare hand. It's that safe. Come on out of the shed with me and thousands of others Courtney! No more space heaters and blow torches. No more bubbles and fish eyes. It's a different process but better for you. The cost equals out to the same because you're not buying gloves, mixing cups & stir sticks, masks and no buying tons of spray paint. But you can use up what you have. Go check it out!

I do such a light layer of sealant, maybe that’s why. Thank you 💜

It turned out good, thank you for sharing but I also know you can also use sculpy bake on for the drips for anyone that might want to try it this way of if you could do a video on a drip cup using sculpy that'd be great

[@jacpace7611]

You said that you just waited an hour or so for the mod podge to dry before applying epoxy correct? I am just wondering if the mod podge will still be a little soft to the touch since it is thick?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I usually wait overnight now to make sure it’s hardened up enough

[@tinyimani3254]

So beautiful

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you 😊

[@fawnnelson3369]

[@ashleydrennin4190]

quick question I use mod dodge and corn starch it has never done this to me before, but I applied my epoxy last night over everything and I woke up this morning to take pictures but my drip are kind of soft even with epoxy over it remind u just 1 layer of epoxy. Should I add two more layers of epoxy will that help or is it trash?

Courtney can you sand the drips when dry if you have sharp points? I hate epoxy method of drips just can't hit timing right. Great inspiration. Thank you my dear friend for the time you spend teaching us and you inspire me so much. You are so lovely. hugs Sheryl winnie the pooh is adorable. 🍯 🍯 🍯

Clear water slide paper

What does the cornstarch do? Will it turn clear once it's dry?

It thickens the mod podge so I could create the drips. You can’t see it once it’s mixed into the mod podge and paint really well

[@Lseney]

I have a question I have watched so many different tutorials were you the one who uses or have used brite tone by crystalac. I have used that on the few that I have made. Did you order that straight from the company? I’m kind of afraid to use epoxy and don’t know where to start with it what do you recommend

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I’ve used Crystalac in the past but wasn’t a fan. You can order right from their site!!

[@kellyverrill2131]

I am just getting into resin/tumblers. How can I prevent the resin or modge mixture from getting inside the top of the cup? Or do you know how to get it out of it?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

When my cup is finished I always use a craft knife to scrape out the inside

[@sarathornburgh8880]

Would baking soda work just as well? Or does it have to be cornstarch?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I’ve never tried baking soda. It’s worth a shot!

[@sharonm6172]

I love your tutorials! I’m new to making tumblers and I didn’t want to use epoxy so I’ve been making them with Crystalac Brite Tone. It’s non toxic. Have you ever tried it? I just don’t know about the longevity of it. I would love for you to do a video on it!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! I actually tried it about a year ago and didn’t like it

[@Floppyjos]

WooHoo...I just stumbled across your video. I make fake stuff including regular mugs of hot chocolate (no rolling tumblers). I want to see the video of you applying the epoxy which I detest or can i just spray the cornstarch/Mod podge with a sealer ?. TIA

[@CourtneysCustoms]

If what you’re making is just for looks, I would say you could get away with just spraying sealant over it. But, if what you make is meant to be functional then you will need epoxy or the drips will chip off with regular use and washing
