How To Use Tack It Method for Glitter Epoxy Tumblers

[@LisaJones-o5v]

Thanks for sharing, I am learning this method and great tip about putting vinyl stickers to your shirt first!!

[@DIYAlex]

Glad it was helpful!

[@usherl250]

I have been excited to try to do tumblers. I just bought my cricut, but I also have an online shop that offers lots of glitters and glitter powders. The glitter powders are very holographic and so I can’t wait to try them. I have them in about 8 colors. 🤗🤗🤗

[@jamiebetzner4689]

Thanks, this video was so great. I especially loved the mention of the obvious solution of sticking your transfer tape to your shirt. Wish I had thought of that before!

[@DIYAlex]

Thanks Jamie! I’m glad it helped!

[@marissawilson6892]

Very helpful video! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been wanting to try this method.

[@cassandrareed5959]

That glitter is so beautiful 😍

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! I love it! It's Sunshine from StarCraft Glitter! We carry it at 651Vinyl!

[@ChantiRod08]

I've been wanting to make this. Thanks for sharing this! Love your videos, always so helpful and easy to follow.

[@DIYAlex]

Let me know if you give it a try! You’re welcome, I love to hear that they’re helpful💜

[@MaryAlice]

Thank you! I will be trying this today!! 🤗

[@DIYAlex]

Awesome! I can’t wait to see it!

[@bonnizepp2250]

THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS! Can you use the Tack it Method if you are just using Fine glitter?

[@DIYAlex]

You’re welcome! Yes, but it has to be holographic to see the tack it method.

[@PeaJayCee]

What kind of paint did you use? All I could find was metallic gold. I’m afraid it’s going to be glossy. Great video. Thank you 😊

[@PeaJayCee]

@@jodigardner7584 thank you

[@DIYAlex]

You're going to cover it with glitter so it won't really matter.

[@ArtWars314]

Thx for making this, what about, mixing the glitter in your tack it solution and then painting it on?

[@DIYAlex]

I wouldn’t recommend if because it won’t apply the glitter as smooth as doing it this way.

[@ArtWars314]

@@DIYAlex ic thx

[@keldaanderson7712]

Love this so I tried it! It was beautiful until I clear spray sealed it. Yhe holographic is no longer noticeable. Did I do something wrong?or will the epoxy bring it back?

[@DIYAlex]

It should come back once you apply the epoxy!

[@tinawood5926]

You mentioned sealing over poured epoxy into the little cups with lids..does that stop it from hardening as fast? And if so, about how long? Sounds like a crazy question because once mixed it starts the reaction. But, does keeping the air out slow the reaction or something?

[@DIYAlex]

Hi Tina! Epoxy will harden in about 30 minutes regardless of where you store it. You can store the tack-it and water mixture in a small cup with a lid and it will save for a while ☺️.

[@asorgbenavidez2446]

Does it need to be completely dried before applying glitter?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes

[@eeeejay1000]

Does the glitter need to be holographic when using the tack it method ?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes, in order to have the same effect it has to be holographic.

[@AmandaRivers-ev1rr]

I have Aileen’s clear tack it glue can I use that instead of over and over?

[@DIYAlex]

I haven’t tried that glue so I’m not sure! Sorry! Give it a try!

[@AmandaRivers-ev1rr]

@@DIYAlex it’s ok I brought over and over 😁

[@merarycastro4951]

I had issues with the glitter sticking to the tumbler. The tumbler already came painted white but I still went through the whole prepping process. I used a flat spray paint and I wonder if thay is why it didn't stick. Should I use glossy paint instead??

[@DIYAlex]

The finish of the paint shouldn't make a difference. Try mixing the Tack It with more glue and less water next time. Then as it dries it should be noticeably tacky.

[@emilyjacobson9036]

I can't seem to find the tack it over and over anywhere in my area would any different glue work or does it have to be this specific kind

[@DIYAlex]

I’m not aware of any other glue that works, but 143vinyl stocks it and usually has it! Here’s the link: www.143vinyl.com/aleenes-tack-it-over-and-over-glue.html?partner=403469

[@ginavargas2288]

Do I have to epoxy or can I just use the spray to seal it

[@DIYAlex]

No spray will hold up over time. For long term results you’ll need to use epoxy.

[@cjspice4847]

can you use Mod podge instead of epoxy?

[@alondraolivas8181]

If I don’t want the holographic effect does this method work with normal glitter ?

[@DIYAlex]

Hi Alondra! The only reason the Tack-It Method looks different from regular glitter is because of the holographic effect. If you don't want the holographic effect, I recommend just glittering your tumbler the traditional way.

[@2tier1776]

@@DIYAlex does it look weird with normal glitter? Seems like a fast easy way to do any glitter plus saves steps and keeps the tumbler lighter and thinner.

[@deanneparis8888]

Why do you mix with water? I can't tell a difference between when I do and when I don't.

[@DIYAlex]

To make it thinner

[@freshersid5891]

Hi mam, is it useable as a normal drinking glass or only show piece?

[@DIYAlex]

You can still drink out of it as long as you only use epoxy and glitter on the outside of the cup.

[@freshersid5891]

@@DIYAlex Thanks

[@DIYAlex]

You’re welcome!

[@dianekell5460]

Can you do this method using crystalac in stead of epoxy?

[@DIYAlex]

I’ve never tried Crystalac, so I’m not sure. Sorry about that!

[@kaseyrbrown]

Does it matter what kind of glitter i use

[@DIYAlex]

It has to be holographic glitter in order to have the same effect, but lots of different brands carry holographic glitter.

[@glendaferguson432]

When can u put decals on it..

[@DIYAlex]

That is answered in the tutorial ☺️

[@ashleyhogue398]

Can you use mod podge?

[@DIYAlex]

Not with this method. It won't have the same effect.

[@090857sps]

Can you use tacky glue

[@DIYAlex]

No, it has to be Tack it over and over.

[@usherl250]

Let me know of you want to try any of my glitters, I have over 380 colors, all quality glitters

[@snapsbymeli]

Does it have to be the over and over? Or can it be any tack it

[@DIYAlex]

I have only used this specific product, but others may work too. I’m not sure!
