Hi Everyone - There is an updated version of this video with all the latest info for 2022! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j567e2NmjZ6EmZI

[@Victoria-Monet]

Thank you!

[@opie1476]

I didnt sand mine or anything just cleaned it with alcohol and nothing happened. I painted it, glittered it and epoxied it. It turned out amazing

This video is extremely helpful. I’m making the switch from epoxy. Question though, if I need a second coat of glitter do I still need to seal the glitter with e6000 then go over with BT and glitter again, then seal again?

[@3bratzmomaa]

Hello it’s me again. Thank you so much for your help. I just have a couple questions. As I mentioned I am just beginning and I started gathering materials. I watched several videos and I’m just wanting to make sure that the materials I got but would work with a Crystalac. For example I got the Loctite adhesive for my glitter, No rust oleum spray paint for my base coat color, And polycrylic to seal my glitter. Will these items work?

[@tinahaynes175]

I just ordered my first quart of bright tone!! I'm SOOOO excited!! I did 2 cups with epoxy. Stripped one. What a nightmare. Re-glittered it but haven't epoxied it yet because I don't have a turner and the thought of hand turning if for 4 hours AGAIN makes me ill. I'll turn my Crystalac cups for an hour!! No problem!! *insert cheesy grin and childish giggles* I didn't even make it 1/2 way thru the 16oz box of epoxy before I decided I was D.O.N.E. done with it! Maybe I'll make a paperweight with the rest lol.

[@AlisonCrafts]

LOL! I'm so glad you're on team Brite Tone! I agree that it is soo much better!!

[@tvbutterfly8500]

Beautiful! I'm just attempting my QST tumbler and need to do a 2nd layer of glitter. What is the best way to do that? I'm using Bright Tone and have E6000 spray. Thanks in advance!

Can acrylic paint be added to the universal white for the base coat? Thanks!

[@jorgequinones2249]

Hi Alison this is the first I'm doing the crystalac method for glitter tumblers. You mentioned you can apply a coat of write tone by finger or brush, just wondering what type of brush can be used and if its a regular type paint brush will the crystalc clean off the brush with water?

[@mies.1742]

Finally, a thorough, easy to follow tutorial! Thank you!! I have been making tumblers using epoxy.. I'm on oxygen and have lung & other health issues. Even though my craft room is not in a place where people or pets live & I use proper PPE and ventilation.. I still worry non-stop about how toxic and hazardous epoxy is to me, my kids and pets health. I have been wanting to try Crystalac for some time now, but I haven't because: 1. I wasn't quite sure how to, but thanks to you, I do now. 2. It seems like a lot of extra work and very time consuming. . My question is, how long does it take you to make a cup, start to finish? Also, how many tumblers (let's say 30oz skinny) can you make with 1QT of brite tone and other supplies needed. I really want to feel confident that I will know what I'm doing and have an idea of how much it costs to use CrystaLac products. Sorry for asking so many questions and if what I said doesn't make sense. Definitely subscribing!

[@ashleydrennin4190]

omg I TOO have lung issues and health issues and on oxygen and am trying to do crystalac in stead of epoxy I am so glad I am not alone.

Hi!! I don’t know if I missed it, do you wait 5 days to add your decal? Do you put another layer on after decal is added?

If you want to tape the edge i would remove and replace every 3 coats.

[@ericastwilight]

Great tutorial, have you tried the mini heater to dry that I've been seeing on TT? It's for epoxy cups but wondered if Crystalac would react similar? Off to watch more videos!

[@AlisonCrafts]

As far as I have been told from the CrystaLac owners, heat is a no no! The only source of heat would be a 60W light bulb about 12 inches away from the cup! If you see another video on TT, can you tag me?? i'd love to check it out. I'm @alison.crafts_

[@CamFam14]

Thanks for posting! I was going to get into epoxy..but then I ran into a video saying how bad it is for you. I felt very discouraged because I didn’t want to poison my family. So I googled alternative to epoxy and I ran into your blog! Thank you for making these videos. I don’t feel afraid anymore. I can’t wait to try out the product!!

[@Lindz1745]

Your comment saved me from diving directly into epoxy and buying crystalac instead. I didn’t realize it was so harsh on the lungs. I just got this product today so I’m looking forward to using it too! I know this is 10mo late but thank you and to this channel for having an alternative!

[@melissaboatright4395]

So she uses the bright tone instead of the epoxy . Just wanna make sure

[@camilaprocopio-bridges9513]

Hello! Love your videos! Question, can I just add glitter to the stainless steel tumbler without painting it first? Will it make a huge difference? And can I use loctite spray to put my glitter on? And then use the BT for every layer after that. Sorry but exactly is the E6000 used for?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Basecoating is best to prevent rust spots. You can use loctite but it needs to dry 48 hours before BT! E6000 is used to seal and flatten the glitter so the glitter doesn't move and it cuts down on BT layers

[@Buzzyinmich]

Allison, Thank you so much for making all of these videos. It has helped me quite a bit. I was wondering if I might be able to email you for a few questions I have.

[@AlisonCrafts]

Can tumblers be shipped after 5 days? Will packing materials stick to them or should you wait longer to ship?

[@selynamarie7031]

Hi Alison! I just recently found you on youtube while doing some research on the big switch! I am currently waiting for my crystalac products to come in the mail but i was just curious as to how many coats you normally put on after adding a decal?

[@AlisonCrafts]

6-8 depending on the type of vinyl and how thick it is!

[@donnielleguillory4851]

Does crystalac yellow eventually? I know some epoxys have the tendency to yellow eventually?

[@gg01lady]

Love this tutorial. Question if I’m not using glitter just spray paint the tumbler white once it dry for 4hrs layer with brite tone? But if I’m adding a waterslide would seal that again ? So using brite or do it after I add the waterslide or decal?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Spray paint, wait 48 hours, 3 coats of brite tone (wait 4 hours before recoating), add waterslide, continue coats of brite tone

[@abbypollard6007]

So do you apply decals to the sanded and rinsed layer or do you add an additional coat first?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Either Way. You can apply it to a sanded surface but it's not required.

[@stephanieday4459]

omg nevermind. i just bought $105 of stuff on there. excited! but omg i hope i can do this! your videos inspire me to get going!

Nope, you don't need E6000 anymore!

[@nicholenewton7896]

Hello. I want to put vinyl (either permanent or printable) on my mug. Do i put it at the very end and do i seal it?

You an add your vinyl once the surface is smooth. I usually seal it with about 6 coats on top but since it's permanent it's up to you if you want to seal it!

[@veronicajuarez3684]

Hi! You can use whatever acrylic paint?

Not as a base coat no.

I have tumblers that have like a powder coating on them. Can i sand those to smooth and then do the same steps as if it was stainless?

[@AlisonCrafts]

Those need to be stripped first

[@ginadephillips9717]

Thank you for this video! I just purchased my first tub of Brite Tone and am truly excited to get started with it! If you have time, could you please let me know the difference between the Brite Tone and the Extreme Protection? I want to be sure my cups are long lasting. :-)

[@AlisonCrafts]

They're both clear top coats that are strong and non-yellowing. The brite tone has higher solids , so it's harder and shiner when cured! I dont usually use EP at all for my glitter cups anymore but you can use it for the first several layers if you want because it's cheaper! but since it doesn't have as many solids as the BT, it will take more coats to get a smooth finish. that's why i just stick with brite tone - so i can get my cups finished faster!

use 400 grit sand paper lightly and the scuffs will be covered up and gone after you do a few coats of brite tone! You do not need to seal htv before brite tone

[@bethholloway3761]

Question. If you purchase a glitter tumbler and you want to do waterslide, vinyl, etc., do you still have to sand the cup prior to adding the design then adding the brite tone? I'm thinking it would mess up the gloss and glitter thats already on the tumbler?

Acrylic paint is not suitable as a base. It doesn't have adhesion properties or rust inhibitors! You'll want to have a primer first for sure - either the universal white or spray paint. you can paint acrylic over that. it does need at least 24 hours to dry because it just dries super slowly!
