Hi! Great video! I use the acid as well and have found that using a qtip to lightly apply 2-3 thin coats (about 2 minutes apart) creates very crisp lines. I started out by soaking/sitting items in the acid but it was too messy for me. The qtip method stops the waste of vinyl, mess and acid.

[@danielsmith6207]

Do you know if that would work on the colored tumblers?

[@tisharenee2755]

Daniel Smith I haven’t tried it but will soon.

[@hisgal2]

@@tisharenee2755 I was wondering this also. Sam's Club just got in 4 packs of smaller drink tumblers (like stemless wine glass sized, but a tad taller), but they are all colored. They are really pretty and I wondered if this would work with them. They were $20 for a pack of 4.

[@mrcraftypants]

@@tisharenee2755 that’s so great to know! Thank you! Did you find that it etched as deep as it did when you “soaked” the item in the solution? I tried essentially “painting” the acid on with a qtip, but I didn’t get a very deep etch. However... I didn’t try reapplying every couple of minutes! I can’t wait to try this again and see how it does! Thank you!

[@mrcraftypants]

PS. If I’m happy with the results I plan on filming an update to this tutorial and giving you credit for the idea. 😊

[@pennybombei1845]

I cut the stencil and hubby did the etching part. The stainless steel tumbler turned out great. Hubby was texting everyone a pic of his new tumbler. Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks. Enjoy all of your videos and kudos to you for being such an awesome teacher!

[@carolestrong7095]

we recently got a bunch of these travel mugs thanks to my fiancé, and now i know what to do with them, thanks Michael! I love your videos and how patience you are, you make using my Cricut Maker more encouraging with each video I watch.

[@jimburrows2528]

The first video I saw yours was the glass plate with a Christmas etching of, Christmas Calories Don't Count (which made me chuckle). This is an absolute game changer for my business, I had no idea such a thing existed. Thank you for taking the time to do these and sharing with us these awesome how-to videos!

[@kmkevans]

I have to tell you that my husband and I tried this out. My husband makes knives and a customer wanted his name on it so of course I showed this video to him and I made a stencil for him and it worked perfectly on the blade. Thank you so much for the great video

[@w.demorse3985]

Dude, your video is as simple and clear as can be. I've learned more about cricut than any other videos. You're really great. You just gained a new follower. I love your videos.

[@mrcraftypants]

Thanks so much!! 😊 That really means a lot!

[@annmariedesimone8891]

These are absolutely the best Cricut videos I’ve come across. Honestly, you have great ideas, and explain everything. Plus you have a really calm, cool, and likable vibe. Those guys on makers gonna make or the Cricut channel videos are soooo in your face and annoying, and take forever to get to the point. So thank you for making these videos, I’ve learned sooo much!!! Love watching you.

[@mrcraftypants]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@k.b.bezdicek9137]

Thank you for everything you do! I've learned a lot watching your videos, and I've watched quite a few of them now. As a guy who typically works on old John Deere tractors and racing motorcycles, this is a new Venture for me! Your production quality is excellent and I really enjoy the way you present the projects. Great job! Keep it up!

You are an outstanding teacher. I absolutely LOVE your tutorials. Can't wait to try this.

[@leighbrayer2830]

First off you are the best cricut instructor on the web!! Second, I received a cricut for Christmas from my amazing husband. My first project is this mug design that I etched, with the aid of your amazing video. I do have several beginner screw-ups, but it was not because of the video. I did not apply my vinyl tight enough on some of the places on the mug, and I did not notice that part of my I was missing. Other than that it turned out great! Thanks mr. Crafty pants.

Yes, I'm a newbie at all things "crafty". I really enjoyed your tutorial and how you explained the process.

[@sarahhunley9751]

Could you just use tape or something else other than vinyl (to save vinyl) to cover the rest of the cup around the design? Or would it not hold up against the acid? 🤔

[@mrcraftypants]

All of the tests I ran with other materials didn’t hold up, unfortunately

[@bbollerud]

you have the best step by step tutorials thank you

[@NCJoMamaSC]

When covering the tumbler to prevent acid from accidental messes, can one use painters tape instead of remaining vinyl? Or does vinyl work better to prevent acid accidents? 🤗

[@mrcraftypants]

The acid has eaten through the painters tape in my experience 😞

[@NCJoMamaSC]

Hi hope you are doing well. I just started on this and I already tried the glass etching with the Armour cream. But I really want to try this like, right now. Can this liquid be saved after it's been used maybe in a different bowl or bottle.?

[@msattitude3805]

Why did you use vinyl to cover the whole tumbler instead of something less expensive?

[@mrcraftypants]

I’ve tried less “expensive” options, but they all ended up leaking and ruining the cup. A high quality permanent vinyl doesn’t have to be expensive. A sheet like I used can cost around $0.65. I personally love the StarCraft HD brand! bit.ly/37QHwMU

[@amyladwig2284]

I was thinking the same thing until I realized he was submerging the cup in the liquid. I'd rather waste a piece of vinyl then ruin a whole tumbler. 😊

[@dbergman23]

Vinyl is less than a buck a 12” x12”. Its more expensive than blue tape but id bet that wouldnt survive.
