I agree with you Rachel. I never seal mine and I also run them through the dishwasher daily. The only thing that has ever come off was when I use teeny tiny letters, which is not very often. Love you Rachel.

[@auroratrinidad88]

what type/brand of vinyl do you use?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Please use any adhesive vinyl you have :) All good brands of adhesive vinyl are created equal. There is no such thing as permanent vinyl, so don't be fooled by vinyls being marketed as permanent. We always recommend sealing a project like this, so it doesn't matter what type of vinyl you choose because you're going to seal it anyways :)

I really would liked to have seen the finished products fully cured with all 3 coats. Kinda wanted to see what it would look like - specifically at the top where the Polycrylic meets the unsealed lip

[@mayraesolis31]

I tried the polycrylic mentioned, after watching this video and it completely messed up the tumbler after a couple of washes. When washing it, I lightly hand washed the outside of the tumbler. The tumbler slowly started getting water marks that would not come off and just made it look dirty. Completely ruined my tumbler. I wouldn't recommend it.

[@drunization]

Hello I’m just getting into cricut and already have someone wanting a tumbler. I want to etch but don’t want to go through all the steps and work with corrosive chemicals and hope for the best. I also am concerned about the sealing of tumbler with permanent vinyl route. My concern with permanent was worrying about the vinyl getting washed off during washing dishes. Your video reassured me that the permanent will hold up a good while, so I am going to go the route of just doing permanent vinyl tumblers. I will probably also give extra decals that the receiver or buyer can add if they want to change or replace. This would be a appreciation. Then when you mentioned the fact you could change them during certain occasions sounds perfect because that extends the life of the tumbler to be versatile rather than be a one time design use. Now I can start making tumblers I save the money on the chemicals and supplies to get more tumblers.

I’m looking solely for personal use. I’m not a small business owner. I don’t need a turner & fancy equipment. I bought some lovely vinyl decals on Etsy. Problem I’m having is the “holo layer” is peeling off of the “colored layer” under it. I’m not too worried about the food safety bits as it’s only going to be on the outside of it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@danielleforner9141]

In the video you say to give it 1 to 2 days. But in one of these comments I read 28... Which is it? Is it okay to put this in the dishwasher after you use polycrylic?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

1- 2 days is drying time, 28 days is cure time :) We don't recommend using it before it's fully cured

[@Gigiethechoublaklady]

Thank you for the video. Can we use the polycrylic on Plastic tumbers and Mugs?

[@sylhock9232305]

Thanks, can you use the poly on fine glitter? If so will it be dish washer safe?

[@jutetwine4482]

thank you...have you tried using this method on cured resin? For example, seal after layering vinyl on bookmark (instead of sealing it with another layer of resin).

[@molliedavis4383]

The difference between that and the car decal is when I put layered vinyl on top of eachother it will come off. So when you have one layer stickers you probably dont have to seal but I wrap my cups and put small cattle brands all over them so you risk the brands coming off

[@heatherXchristine11]

can you use these methods on a powder coated tumbler?? I received a powder coated tumbler with a vinyl decal and really want to seal it!

[@bginn5150]

What's the difference of using Polyacrylic and regular water based Polyurethane?

[@mylessiathacker6559]

Crystalac is a good alternative to Epoxy. It is BPA free. And it is a local company to northeast TN.

[@twistedsistersawakening1382]

I’ve been looking for this. I can’t find it anywhere. Do you know of any good sources?

[@jazminegranados1855]

What is the cure time for the polycrylic to be able to regular use? I know the mod podge is 28 days right?

[@Papirmacska]

Thanks for the video! I have a question about the polycrylic...in the description box the link is for matte...although I would think I might need satin..since the tumbler is kind os shiny. I would love to see an AFTER picture, after the coats and dry. Please let us know how the matte is working!

[@user-pb9tl1mk1c]

I am doing vinyl on textured cups. Will this also help them stick better. I used the dollar tree vinyl and some of the vinyl is moving. Any advise would be amazing 🙂

Can you use the poly acrylic on rubberized tumblers or would you recommend the spray paint version?

[@VintageRayne]

Great question! I’m much more handy with sprays than brushes. 🤣

Thanks a lot for this video and all the information provide it. I have only made two projects with vinyl, one with iron on a library bag for my little nephew and one with oracal 651, I have personalised all the bottles for my colleagues as my boss bought a soda machine and gave us bottle to each of us. I really liked to work with vinyl and this kind of projects are really nice. I loved the oracal 651, so easy to weed and as you have mentioned so many colours 🥰. Thanks a lot 💕🦘🇦🇺🌷🌹

[@Kelsey-dm9sy]

Hi!! I have a pretty important question! During this tutorial, you state that you can let it cure for 1-2 days and you should be fine. During your Starbucks cold cup tutorial, you state it must be cured for 28 days. That is a HUGE time frame difference. Why is it so short for this cup vs the Starbucks cup? Will all cups have a different cure time based on their material? Thanks in advance!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Good question! So, I mention dry time :) Dry time and cure time are very different! A product is DRY after 1-2 days, but these types of products are not CURED until 28 days :) All of these products have the same cure time. Have a great crafty day!

Would you recommend gloss or satin polycrylic for stainless steel tumblers?

[@ldedgecombe6409]

I'm curious about this as well

[@adornedbeautifully2487]

I did the sealant, but I think the next time I'm going to get Crystal Clear Gloss Finish for the stainless steel and the bottles I get that are matte, I'll use the crystal clear matte finish. Thanks for the tips.

[@Warren1138]

Will this work on painted cups? I bought a cup from Etsy that looks like an "In N Out Burger" cup. So I have vinyl on paint but I want to cover it to protect the vinyl

[@TheThomasTribe]

So I know this is kinda related but not really. I am just exploring my option but if I add rhinestones to a cup or tumbler with my decals, would the poly acrylic seal those too?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Hello! So for something as thick as rhinestones, I think your best sealer option on a tumbler would be epoxy. I'm afraid the poly would not be thick enough to properly seal something like that :(

[@kimberlycorrigan5621]

Can you seal permanet vinyl with matte mod podge and then seal with clear spray sealer and have it be used for drinking

Does this work on colored ozark trail tumblers too? Trying to decide between htv and permanent on tumblers as well as sealing on not sealing. Making 30 for family trip.

Thank you for this! Question- I have a project that involves a matte skinny tumbler and shiny metallic vinyl, and I do want to seal it because they will be gifts but I am worried about the difference in texture. Is there a product you recommend that will seal the shiny vinyl onto the matte tumbler without either one looking weird?

QUESTION!!!! While coating the poly and doing like 3 coats every half hour, can you add the mod podge over the poly or will this mess this up? or you cant do it.

[@JustMe-li7zf]

If I paint a glass item first and want to put a vinyl decal on it, should I put a coat of poly over the paint before I attach the decal and then more coats over the entire thing after I add the decal?

[@chelseygarrett4221]

I just got matte black tumbler how do I seal it without making it glossy? And can I just use heat transfer on it and then I wouldn't need to seal it?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

We don't recommend using HTV on tumblers like that, and either way you'd need to seal it. If you want to try to keep the matte finish, you could use a matte polycrylic: amzn.to/3n7A2cw . Or you could not seal it and take your chances. You can hand wash and dry quickly

[@amandaolson2270]

Can you use the spray polycrylic on tumblers?

Can you use infusible ink on a tumbler if so are there any rules?

[@teridoty4285]

FYI, Siser just came out with a new HTV - it's called Siser Sparkle - comes in a bunch of super fun colors and it's thinner than the regular Siser Giltter (surface is completely flat also, which I think adds a longer lifespan to the design than some of the rougher glitter products might). With few exceptions (a few different products from Thermoflex) the primary products I buy are Siser HTV and Oracal as my primary / go to adhesive vinyl. For funsies, things like Siser Brick or Siser Flock (both HTV) make hats pop! I like your videos, and will probably sign up for your subscription service shortly, as my Cricut DesignSpace subscription is going to expire in a couple of months and I have not used any of the "exclusive" svg's on that in I can't even tell you how long.

Is there a big difference between the polycrylic clear gloss, semi-gloss, and clear stain?

[@kiml3526]

The shine once it has fully dried. Clear gloss is going to be your shiny finish. Semi-gloss is a step below clear gloss, glossy finish but not overly glossy. Satin is like the middle ground between flat/matte and clear glossy.

Hi. I noticed the polycrylic says it is easy clean up with soap and water. That being said, does it mean that it will wash off of my stainless steel water bottle when I wash it?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

No, it's easy to clean up with soap and water if you manage to spill it while using it. Once cured for 28 days per the FDA it is food safe and will have cured very hard.

[@Downfall466]

I've had a bit of an issue using the polycrylic to see vinyl on a coffee mug. It works good but it tends to leave a messy texture in some parts. Do your customers still buy your products despite the polycrylic leaving imperfections?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

make sure you're using a super soft, very clean brush. If you do it correctly, there should be pretty much no imperfections asides from some super light brush strokes that people *might* be able to see :) Sometimes the imperfections can be from a dirty brush or a dusty cup, so make sure you're cleaning everything and allowing the polycrylic to dry in an area where it won't get any dust particles or debris on it. However if you're still having issues, sell them unsealed.
