How to Etch Tumblers with Citristrip: TWO Ways Tested!

[@Grammy52]

Anyone else like to curl up on the sofa with the puppy on Sunday afternoon and binge watch Jennifer Maker videos? Great way to plan my crafting time for the week.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Yes, especially when I have a sleepless night. 5:15am and still awake.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww, I'm happy you enjoy watching my videos! Thank you!

[@NappyCatCreations]

That’s exactly hat I’m doing right now! How funny? 😉

[@jennifernemeth3814]

Has anyone used the iron flask tumblers? I have tried different ones and I am very unsuccessful and don't know what I am doing wrong.

[@livinfuller]

FYI (for newbies): It is much easier to use a needle to weed with the smaller/thinner tip than most purchased weeders have. Simply empty the led from a mechanical pencil. Push a needle up into the opening while pressing the top (or whatever “button” your precise mechanical pencil has that releases the led) and once inserted, release the “button.” Some I’ve had to hot glue just a tiny amount to keep the needle in place. Now you have a “weeder” that cost under $1 to make & bonus- the eraser side is great for picking up tiny scrap pieces on the table

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great tip!

[@mimiturbano]

[@yg-romo2140]

Hi, I'm about to try a glossy tumbler and have all necessary items you spoke about. But I did not hear you mention the time frame to keep citristrip on before using heat gun. It seemed like you used it immediately after wrapping in foil and heated for a minute. Did I miss if you need to let it sit for 50 minutes or so before heating or can I heat right away? Thanks! Love your videos. They are so helpful ❤

Hi! Such a great tutorial! I noticed for the "cold nose warm heart" tumbler it looks like you are using a "simplemodern" brand tumbler. Am I seeing that right? I Ask because thats what i have to etch on right now, but i dont see it listed in your products listing for this project. Not all tumblers are created equal and it turned out so well for you so if it is a SM tumber it gives me hope!

[@RebeccaH-wu6ec]

Can you recommend the best way to remove any remaining small pieces of vinyl (such as from inside letters) without damaging or accidentally pulling off the remaining small areas of powder coat underneath? Fingernails, weeding tool, something else? Thank you!

[@RebekahAugust]

Great video but I’m having trouble with the vinyl I’m not sure if it’s the quality what type and brand of adhesive works best for the stencil? I tried permanent adhesive from siser. I had trouble with it tearing in the delicate areas of the design when trying to remove the citririp.

[@JenniferMaker]

Vinyl does come in different qualities. Dollar Tree vinyl is thin and tears easy. Cricut permanent vinyl is what was use here. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/

Does anyone know if etching the handle on a yeti mugs a bad idea or if there’s a specific way to do it I can’t find a single video about etching handles on mugs or any sort of handle action on mugs. Love watching Jennifer‘s videos even if I’m not doing a project. It’s very Stepford wives but in a comforting way.

You can ask in the group for help with this. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

[@shaunebartoo]

I have a roll of stencil vinyl. Would that work just as good for this project as permanent vinyl?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can try it but the permanent vinyl is more sticky and makes a good seal.

[@Mariam-Mina]

Do we need to discard the plate and the foam brush after each project? Or it can be washed and used again in the future for another citristrip project? Thanks

[@JenniferMaker]

You can reuse it for another citristrip project.

[@glamperjan]

Thank you Jennifer! Great video!

[@taragreen7300]

Hi Jennifer, Hoping I can trouble you with a question. I’ve done my fair share of etching tumblers with citristrip with fairly good success. However, I have NOT been able to successfully etch a light colored Yeti yet and I’ve damaged many. I’ve left the citristip on for times varying from 50 minutes to several hours to overnight and even tried the head gun with no success. I’ve just watched your video and am curious if you’ve been successful etching any light colored Yetis and what the “sweet” time was at which you found them to be most successful? Thank you very much in advance.

@@JenniferMaker I understand that, thank you for your response. Was just curious if you had noted the successful time the Yeti tumbler took you to achieve etching success. Thanks!

[@traceyloughlin-young9810]

I followed this method and did a test patch on the bottom of a tumbler. I allowed the citrstrip to sit on this test patch for 50 minutes and the paint came right off the tumbler. So I cut my actual template and applied it to the face of the tumbler and let the citristrip sit for 50 minutes. At that point, the paint wouldn't come off, so I allowed the citristrip to sit for 10 more minutes, but still the paint wouldn't come off. What do you do in this case? Let it sit longer or just give up and try another tumbler? Once I peeled off my template, the paint was slightly etched looking, but it still wouldn't come off. So I was left with a tumbler that had a tone-on-tone effect.

[@JenniferMaker]

This can be a lot of trial and error. You can ask in the group for more feedback. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

[@amandaabney633]

I found using a dry sponge makes the paint come off so much easier!

[@JenniferMaker]

[@JanineMKartist]

A friend was kind enough to bring me some Citristrip when she came to visit us in Toronto. There is some other brand here and no way of knowing if it would work. I got great results with the Citristrip . I need some advice. The design I did on one side is a huge stylized firefly. I put rhinestones on the glowing abdomen part and I’m wondering does anyone think it will look unfinished if I leave most of it including the wings just the plain etched out look with the glowing butt part all glittery rhinestones with some that glow in the dark?

[@aidylgaviola9692]

Hi. I’m new to cricut. And I’m wondering if you can use permanent vinyls for these kinds of tumblers? As I want to make some designs for these to sell. And will the vinyls come off of these tumblers? Or can we use iron on vinyls? Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you can use permanent vinyls for tumblers, and they are generally recommended for this type of project. Specifically, Oracle 651 is a popular choice because it is a permanent outdoor vinyl that tends to adhere well to smooth surfaces like tumblers. However, it's important to note that even permanent vinyls may eventually come off, especially if the tumbler is frequently washed in a dishwasher. Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the vinyl. As for iron-on vinyls (also known as heat transfer vinyl or HTV), they are not typically recommended for tumblers. Some people have tried using HTV on mugs and tumblers, but the results are often inconsistent. The vinyl may not adhere well or may come off after a few washes. Additionally, the surface of the tumbler needs to be fairly porous for the HTV to melt into it, which is not usually the case with most tumblers.

[@aidylgaviola9692]

@@JenniferMakerWow! Thank you so much Jennifer for taking the time to reply. I wasn’t expecting to be replied since your video was a year ago. But I took the long shot as I’m still new with crafting and confused as to which material to use for certain types of material.

I find the magic eraser works well on on these projects. Doesn't scratch and you can scrub if needed. :) I use a heat gun for both kinds of tumblers but didn't have one I could set to a particular temperature until recently. I will try your setting next time I make one!

I like the ctristrip etching method n really like the results.

My question for u is...If I ad other decals to customize the tumbler further will the etching be ruined if I epoxy, BT (brite tone) or GF (grand finale) the tumbler???

For the best results follow my methodology. The etching is permanent, so nothing with alter the appearance after.

You can do other things to the tumbler after you etch. Folks have been using Citristrip for years to strip their tumblers of all powder coating so they can paint or glitter or epoxy them, for example. :)

Hi Jennifer, thank you for your tutorials. They are always very informative. I have some RTIC tumblers and tried this method on them. You mentioned not to leave the citristripe on longer than 1.5 hours as the vinyl wrinkled. However, I had to leave the citristrip on these tumblers for about 2.5 hours. I used Oracle 651 vinyl and it really held up well. I tried the method using the heat gun and unfortunately, the vinyl almost melted and I had a real mess on my hands. I think I got the tin foil that was on top to hot and it melted the vinyl. Are there tumblers that you can recommend that won't take 2.5 hours to etch? TIA
