I want to make my son a black and gray flag cup but not sparkly or shiny. I'm definitely going to try the matte

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Oh that will be cool! The matte finish is so great!

[@reneestevens1107]

I'm not a Brite Tone user, I use epoxy, but I love watching your videos! I love how excited you are after making your switch from epoxy! And I enjoy hearing your voice, its so sweet and gentle!

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Oh my goodness… thank you SO MUCH! I truly appreciate your kind words. Making the switch was seriously the best decision for me and yes I’m very excited about it!!! Lol Thank you for watching!!!

[@karenhadden4980]

LOVE the matte look!

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thank you Karen… I’m so pleased with it!!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@mirandarae83]

I accidentally purchased matte finish. I was going to return it but I absolutely LOVE LOVE this look. I am keeping and going to try. May I ask, why did start with the brite tone gloss? Could you have just did Matte to start, to save time, and product? I have yet to use brite tone period, so Just wondering if the brite tone layers you did before the matte layers are essential. Thank you!

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

I think when I first started using it… Matte might’ve been a little bit more expensive than just the gloss. And I guess honestly, I started with the glass layers just to save product. It’s been so long now I don’t remember and I haven’t been able to make tumblers in quite some time. I’m dying to use the grand finale! I’m so glad you’re pleased with it all! Crystalac’s products literally are the best!

[@teresabouldin823]

I love it!! I'm just getting into tumbler making but I have decided to go with brite tone instead of epoxy. Just waiting to be able to buy my bundle where it comes with everything to start.

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

You won't regret it!!! It is such an amazing product that you can feel safe using! Thanks so much for watching!

[@miriambrigance2640]

I LOVE it !... I think I just might give this a try... I've never worked with Briton before, but this matt finish looks great 👍

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thank you! It was pretty easy and I bet you will love the Brite Tone! If you've worked with epoxy before please just keep in mind it is nothing like epoxy. Very different product! I love it!

Thank you Darlene! I appreciate you watching! 😊

[@eveninglakegems9410]

What does it feel like? Some matte finishes have a powdery feel. Is it smooth or powdery? Please. ❤

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Very smooth! :)

[@lynbolt1129]

What is the product you use for the first layer of britetone?

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Hi Lyn! I think you are asking about he Clear layers...correct? If so that is just clear gloss Brite Tone. I used several layers of that and then finished it off with the Matte Brite Tone. Thanks for watching! :)

[@ritasousa82]

What kind of brush is it you are using to apply the brite tone?

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

I'm using a Taklon brush. I get them from Michael's or Hobby Lobby.

[@ailaniperalta9134]

Hi, love your videos. I have a q's. where did u buy the flat matte because i searched it on amazon and crystalac and don't seem to have the flat matte?

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thank you so much! I only purchase my Crystalac products directly from The CrystaLac Company. I just looked on their site and you are correct it's not available. It usually is so it just might be temporarily unavailable. Keep checking back with them. The matte is wonderful and I don't make enough matte tumblers! Thanks for watching!

[@eveninglakegems9410]

You have to click on the gloss listing on the crystalac site. When you click on it, you get the option at the bottom below the size to choose gloss, satin or matte. It doesn't have it's own listing anymore.

[@pharaohzhoundz]

LOVE the matte finish! Is it like the final sand product where you see fingerprints and other things that may be on your hands?

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

I have never used final sand so I'm not exactly sure what you mean...? It doesn't seem to show anything like you described. The finish is amazing!

[@NYGlamgirl6]

Can you do a tutorial on cleaning the rim of the cups and cutting vinyl at the rim? Thank you! Love this video!

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

I will certainly try to include those both in one of my future tutorials. Thank you so much for watching! ☺️

[@Oonagh72]

You should do a peekaboo where the spots and name are glossy. I like this cup. I love the simple design yet high impact.

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Yikes... I"ve not heard of that! Not sure how to achieve that look but I'll sure try to figure it out! Thanks for watching! :)

[@antoyaellis4063]

Hi!! Love this! What is level sand? And how long do you think the clear brite tone and matte brite tone takes per tumbler? I need to make 17 by the end of march.

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thank so much! A level sand is basically taking the peaks off of the high points. So if you were to take a sanding block and lay it flat on the tumbler and just gently sand it would only hit the high points. Then when you add your next layers of Brite Tone it allows the layers to catch up to level. I hope that all makes sense. I demonstrate level sanding in several of my videos. Cranking out 17 tumblers can be a challenge in that time frame. It really depends on how many turners you have and how much time you have to spend per day on them. I have 6 turners and I work from home so I can apply a new layer every 4 hours.. (I can do 4 or 5 layers on a cup in one day.) After one hour of dry time I can remove them from the turner and stick another tumbler on the turner. SO it's hard to say... if you work outside of the home your Brite Tone Application time might be different..like I said I can do 4 layers per tumbler each day but you may only be able to get 2 layers on per day. I really appreciate you watching and hope you find this info helpful! :)

[@tntbeard]

Can I still use this Matte cover after using another epoxy

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

You would need to sand your epoxy first then apply several coats of the Crystalac matte finish allowing 4 hours of dry time between each layer. You would then need to allow a full cure time if 30 days before washing or using.

[@tntbeard]

@@karenbaskettdiyer30 days? I just bought it and tried it after I posted this question…. And it matted immediately 👍🏾👍🏾🥰…. I washed the cup off 4 hours after and to see if it would wash off and it didn’t…. The matte remained…. This product is great … Thank you for your quick response and the informative video…. But please let me know about that 30 days🙃…. Did you mean 30 hours?🧐

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

30 days is recommended for the process of curing and fully bonding of the Crystalac to the Epoxy. .. for a full cure time.

[@tntbeard]

@@karenbaskettdiyerok thank you

[@lorriehernandez7811]

What size are the spots?

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

They range in size… 3/4” is the biggest.

[@greeneyedbella1635]

I loved your video very detailed and absolutely has gotten me to make my purchase for both regular brite tone and matte. I hope you get some type of credit for it ❤️ also after you do the sanding to level it do you have to reapply both regular and matte? TIA 😊 Keep up the great 👍 work

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thank you so very much! I do get a little perk so I really appreciate you using my affiliate link! :) After level sanding you can just apply the regular gloss and then finish it off with a couple of coats of the matte. I really appreciate you watching!!!

[@OkieMomma]

😍

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Thanks Trisha!

[@kaylarogers1964]

Do you even need to use a heat gun to pop bubbles with this magic!? I have the hardest time with non-glitter tumblers.

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

No heat gun required with Brite tone… it’s magical for sure!

[@stacyminnick5429]

Take a quarter and put under the lid and it a slight twist and the lids should pop off. I love the cup and the watching the tutorials

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

Lol thanks for the tip! I ended up using a popsicle stick to open it! 😅 thanks so much for watching!

[@stacyminnick5429]

@@karenbaskettdiyer I use a popsicle alot because my kids love taking my change

[@dancingMaddy10]

Count how many coats

[@karenbaskettdiyer]

With Britt Tone I don't even count. I just go by feeling... smoothed and finished out.
