Awesome video!!!! I think I'm ready for my first tumbler😊

[@FocusOnAllOfMe]

I am a new subscriber. I love straight to the point videos! And as you go you give some do's and don't. All great pointers. Thank you!!!

[@janellchantal]

Awesome. Thanks for the tips for the bottom of the tumbler & the sanding. Of all the videos I've seen yours is the best for me.

[@pamelapitt9736]

I thank you so much for all of your videos , I have watched plenty of others videos and couldn't get the hang of it, but yours I do, again thanks!

[@rachelcrain5616]

you’re the best. Idk what I would do without you!

[@ccullen1020]

Thank you for doing a detailed video and going through all scenarios on “if this happens”. Just started doing tumblers I felt defeated till now.

Thank you and good luck with your tumbler journey!

one the best and easy video to list :) i am starting and still learning with small cups :) we just got the circult machine to make the vinyls

Where do you get a cup turner? I really love your video. You are thro and show every step. Awesome.

[@2danniegrl]

Sooo I let my tumbler sit over night. And when I went to do the "flood coat" today, it was clumps of glitter. Sooo did I use too much glitter and not enough epoxy on first coat? I ended up spraying it with sealer and then adding epoxy which worked better. But I saw you added your 2nd epoxy after 2 hours and didn't have that trouble

[@cathyherring6424]

This is beautiful. ❤️😇❤️😇💕what do you use for a turner and arm???

[@kaneohegirl2]

Is there a tutorial for chunky glitters? I would love to see your version.

[@laurenlucas7011]

Hi! Just wondering if you could tell me how you are able to have your tumbler arms pull on and off without having to twist them off? I purchased one off Etsy and when I need to take the tumbler off it’s a pain to have to twist and I get nervous I’m going to hit the edges of the cup. I like how yours is. Thanks :)

[@carol-annridler3560]

Great vids! You explain everything very well. Ty

[@kimdulaney7599]

Hey new 2 ur tutorials & I love them! My problem is when I put epoxy on tumblers I can never get the right amount, it seems I have 2 much & I go over it with my gloved finger & they turn out with places missed, can u help me?

[@veronicatrevino7550]

Great video….. if parts of the tumbler has glitter soaked in from too much epoxy, is there a way to fix it? Hopefully without stripping it 😊

[@MissKissKreations]

Unfortunately no 😞 but if it isn’t too bad you don’t have to strip and keep going! 😀

[@veronicatrevino7550]

[@grits1313]

Please would you share where you got the rotating pvc support brackets and/or what they are called! These are just what I need. Thank you and beautiful cups too!!

[@billfuller317]

do you have plans on how to build your tumbler rotator?

[@countrygal2611]

Would a blow dryer work if I don't have a heat gun?

[@needmymocha1]

I don’t usually get bumps on my cups that you can see but sometimes you can feel some tiny bumps after my last coat. Any recommendations on how to avoid that? I use a heat gun and make sure I sand tumbler until smooth prior to last coat.

[@michelleshields4004]

Can you add chunky glitter to the cup after it’s been apoxied?

[@tiannabrittany]

I see some people use a spray sealer. Do you need to do that or can you go straight to epoxy as you did?

[@MissKissKreations]

When doing the epoxy method you not need to spray it with any sealers. You can go straight into epoxying the tumbler

[@brandymcbee9694]

what's the difference in that method and mixing the glitter to your epoxy?

[@elaineselesky3910]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a warped bottom. Is there a way to fix that after it dries?

[@MissKissKreations]

Your tumbler is leaning down causing the epoxy to slide down towards the bottom. Make sure you have your tumbler leveled on your turner and make sure your table it level. To fix: sand, sand, sand!!! Then re epoxy. It may not be fixable if it’s a bigger “warp”

[@elaineselesky3910]

@@MissKissKreations I used my dremel to get the bottom part off..

[@kingdompursuit3472]

Nice video

[@sandragaldamez1582]

Can you use a hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun?

[@elaineselesky3910]

What setting do you have your heat gun? And how did you just press it once and it turned off? Mine, I have to hold the button down for a few seconds to get it to shut off

[@MissKissKreations]

I now use CCDIY heat gun. Less voltage so I don’t trip my breaker 😂

[@fatimarazon8407]

Do you tape your edges at all?

[@epijunky]

THANK YOU! I am entirely too heavy handed with my epoxy :( Thank you for this video!

[@samanthahartman3124]

My tumbler has been spinning since Monday and it’s still sticky to the touch. Is this normal? Did I just put too much on? I’m using the same epoxy you recommended. Any advice? Heeelllppp!

[@leahriker6789]

Hi! I am not the video author but that happened to me once. What happened for me was that I think I didn’t have completely even parts A and B, like one was slightly more. Or it didn’t get mixed fully. If it’s just a little tacky to the touch, just do another coat of (carefully measured and mixed) epoxy and let that spin/cure and you should hopefully be okay!

[@leonaparks5861]

Can you use an tumbler that already comes painted like the red Ozark Trails tumblers? Or will it still need to be prepped and spray painted? Just curious because I have a lot of already colored ones (I collect them) but I want a glittery one as I love anything that sparkles!

[@KristanSaucedo]

Also curious about this!

[@ashleyhart5008]

What setting do you use on your heat gun? I have the same one!

[@Zena-Diaz]

Is this a good "design" to do for my first tumbler?

[@MissKissKreations]

Sure!

[@abigailmendez7922]

Can I use a blow dryer instead?

[@MGM-ej8wx]

Love this color of red! ❤️❤️❤️ I gave 2 questions: Can 2 coats of glitter be added? Like after expoxing & let it dry, epoxy & then glitter & epoxy? I was wondering after you do sanding & expoxy & finish cup, what if down the road I decide to add a decal. Can I add it on, & then expoxy? Would it be ok? Thank you! 😊

[@viridianacabreraasaf1977]

^^ I’m not sure what her reply will be, but I have done what you mentioned above about adding a decal after the glitter process & it works (:

[@cherylkirksey]

Do you have to apply such hard pressure while applying the resin???

[@MissKissKreations]

No. 🥰

[@winnymorton7781]

I'm very wish to see your turner 😁🙏🏻

I am working on a Mickey Mouse cup for my step mom and having a hard time doing the final coat with both glitters. Do you have a video for something like that. This video helped a ton. Thank yiu

[@kristyaragon9926]

How do you make the gadget that holds/turns the tumbler? Did you buy it or could my husband build one? What are all the materials needed

[@MissKissKreations]

It’s called a cup turner. Google them and plenty will pop up. Etsy has a ton

[@kristyaragon9926]

Thanks a bunch! You make beautiful ones

[@leahriker6789]

Hi! On one of my tumblers I ended up with a large blob of epoxy at the bottom and it’s uneven when I set it on a flat surface... the epoxy is already cured. Is there anything I can do, short of stripping the entire thing with acetone? Would it work to strip just the bottom?

[@joslynklinkel8960]

Can you sand down the glob? I've had an uneven lump on the bottom and spent like an hour sanding it--just be careful not to sand a normal area of the cup as much because there's obviously not as much epoxy to sand down and you can sand into the glitter or the alcohol ink/paint job. It worked for my cup and I didn't have to strip it, just add a second thin coat of epoxy to the whole tumbler after the base was even.

[@belindacastaneda9578]

When you wash your tumbler, does it shine fade?

[@MissKissKreations]

It doesn’t 😃

[@jessicacervantes5573]

so when using epoxy you just need one coat of glitter?

[@wonderlandqueenx3]

Is the heated gun needed everytime ?

[@chelle2640]

If I need a second coat of glitter would I do that just like I did the first time?

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes

[@chelle2640]

Miss Kiss Kreations do I need to spray the first coat of glitter with a clear spray paint?

[@deannamotte7101]

So I made my first tumbler with glitter- I sprayed the primer first then let dry. I then sprayed with adhesive spray to hold glitter and then let dry also. I then added glitter and let dry for an hour and a half. I started adding epoxy and noticed it was thinning the glitter out in certain areas of the tumbler. I then started adding glitter to patch up the spots and it made the tumbler texture look gloopy and dimply. The epoxy started running. I need help! I need to know once I let my glitter dry, how much epoxy do I apply? And is one coat enough?

[@Araceli8488]

If you’re using a spray adhesive to add glitter into your tumbler you need to then spray the tumbler with a sealer. After the sealer is dry then you can epoxy.

[@Godsf8vrit]

After doing my first coat of epoxy my cups were very lumpy. What have I done wrong?

[@MissKissKreations]

Make sure you are laying an even coat of epoxy. Also, make sure you have a level table

[@jacquelinemcclarn9258]

I attempted my first tumbler and I used matte spray paint and the epoxy still separates leaving fish eyes and holes. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.

[@melissalanning1226]

Are you sanding it really well and wiping with alcohol?

[@jacquelinemcclarn9258]

@@melissalanning1226 I found the issue. I switched epoxy and now I don’t have this issues. YAY! Thanks so much for your response! ❤️

[@carlalanning5317]

Can I ask what size or btu your heat gun is?

[@carolmendez4572]

I would like to know how to do this. But I don't know where to start from.

[@JelscreationsNmore]

how dry is the epoxy before you add glitter and do you have to add glitter to bottoms and brim

[@MissKissKreations]

You add the glitter right after applying the epoxy. You need the epoxy to be wet and not dry at all so the glitter can stick to the epoxy

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes. Add glitter to the bottom. I add glitter all the way up to the top of my tumbler and then I clean up the rim with an exacto knife. I have two videos on this. They are both posted in my beginners playlist section too

[@JelscreationsNmore]

@@MissKissKreations so you don't heat it very much at all then

[@JelscreationsNmore]

@@MissKissKreations I just added my second coat of epoxy the glitter felt dry until I started adding the epoxy and it fills glittery not smooth I'll let it spin a while then sit up to dry but I probably failed something I probably didn't do right should I give up and sell my tumbler spinner and heat gun and also how do I get the epoxy off my heat gun and out of my measuring cup

[@francoisebridgewater]

How much do you charge for your cups?

[@evelynmartin8170]

I am having major issues with the epoxy not covering the lip of the cup. Any suggestions???

[@MissKissKreations]

Make sure you are sanding and wiping down with 91% alcohol. A lot of times that area is forgotten about.

[@kroberts4683]

Instead of a heat gun, would a mini torch with butane work with same result?

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes 🙂

Miss Kiss Kreations thank you!!!

[@mikaylasubjoc9061]

I have painted mine with strips leaving strips of the stainless steel in order to put glitter in the strips how can I put the glitter in these stips without the glitter getting on the paint...

[@MissKissKreations]

Can you rephrase that please?

[@Ac-fq2by]

Hi! Is there an alternative to a heat gun if I don’t have one?

[@melissalanning1226]

Mixing your epoxy slowly and letting it sit to allow the bubbles to go to the surface.

[@MissKissKreations]

Torch

[@karenkinsey6144]

Do you have to spray paint it first

[@SandraBettsArt]

She answers this at the beginning if the video. She says to either spray paint it with the same color you are going to use OR paint it white. It is part of prepping your tumbler.

On low, it’s meant to be heated, not blown. I know some blow dryers are mostly for blowing and not heat. You can use a torch

Seems like my football always get stuck inside my smaller tumblers. Could it be I’m using too much epoxy.

[@MissKissKreations]

You may be epoxying your tumbler to your football, but, using too much epoxy won’t weigh your tumbler down if that makes sense. If anything , you want your Tumbler to be secure on your cup turner

[@MsRossJ4]

Do you need a mask?

[@MissKissKreations]

It is preferred. I have been using a mask for the last two years

[@melissalanning1226]

Could you not have just added the glitter into the epoxy to make it easier to apply?

[@MissKissKreations]

It won’t have a full coverage like shown. It will be more shimmer than covered

[@kaneohegirl2]

This will take away additional unnecessary steps and material I had been using/buying

[@lovelylynn6871]

Go big or go home😅

[@carollehrer]

Can you use a hair dryer instead of heat gun? And why do you use a heat gun instead of a torch? Thx.

[@MissKissKreations]

I would be careful with a using a hair dryer, it may blow too much and not produce enough heat to pop any bubbles or smooth out epoxy. Also, heat gun does the same as a torch. Just preference
