[@sherylward7380]

hi i was wanted to know where i could find the fruit file. i love this tumbler

[@KP-nx8lo]

I’d use UV resin instead of epoxy, quicker but just as strong. You can flash cure it so there’s no drips.This is great! Love the colors too. This would be great on a clear tumbler too! Make it look like there are fruits in the drink using the vinyl!

[@damfancycreations]

For sealing the ‘ice’? UV resin would be great to top coat but since I drip the epoxy inside the ice and seal all the cracks- the UV light wouldn’t reach those areas so the Uv resin wouldn’t cure.

[@elizabetholeson3492]

@@damfancycreations i wonder if you used uv resin to apply the ice if that would work

[@damfancycreations]

@@elizabetholeson3492 possibly but hot glue is a lot quicker imo, with uv resin you would have to hold each piece in place for 60 second. Since I go back and epoxy all if the ice to fill in all the cracks hot glue is okay to apply it with. I would not fill the cracks with UV resin bc the light would nit reach the resin that woild be in between all the cracks and therefore would have uncured resin in there. Also- I did go back and remove and replace a few pieces- hot glue is easy to pop off, UV resin would be more difficult you needed to readjust something.

[@sherriethummel3475]

Your work is always fabulous!! Can you tell us where you get your magnets?

[@nikkikoelsch542]

Love your video! I currently don't have a coaster mold bit want to try an ice topper. I heard you mention so.ething about using the lid as a mold. Is it really as simple as spraying it with a vegetable spray and pouring the epoxy in? Just pops out after its set? Thanks!

[@damfancycreations]

Not a lid! I cut a plastic cup and used the rim- go rid of part that would hold water, rubbed the edges with oil, set it on foil and poured thicken epoxy in. I measured the size I would need and cut the cup down to size and taped it so it would hold shape. I did set a heavy book on top to keep the epoxy from seeping out. I hope this makes sense- it’s nit the BEST method but if you don’t have a mold, it will work in a pinch!

[@nikkikoelsch542]

Makes perfect sense! I kept going back to that part of your video trying to figure out how you did that with a lid! I'm ordering coasters now! Thank you again for explaining!

[@blueroze27]

thank you for this tutorial! it's amazing! just wondering if you could explain your ending just a taaaad more. My fault for not understanding the epoxying of the magnets part. I understand epoxying them down, but got lost at the part where you put epoxy on top of the magnets and then put the topper on top of that to cure. How do you get them back off? thanks again!!!!

[@damfancycreations]

After the bottom magnets are epoxies to the lid you STACK the second set of magnets on top and then epoxy top of those, then place your topper. When the epoxy is cured you can remove the topper and two magnets will be epoxied to the top of the lid and two magnets will be epoxied to the bottom of the topper. Does that helps explain it a little better?

[@blueroze27]

@@damfancycreations very much so!! thank you so much!

[@wendybuchanan3582]

I was wondering what size coaster mold you use so that it’s not visible? Your creations are amazing. I’m typically the silent admirer 💕💕

[@damfancycreations]

I either use 2.5 or 3” mold- depending on the lid size of the tumbler!

Hello. Did you sand your tumbler at all? Thank you for making this so easy! I am trying this on all my ruined tumblers

[@damfancycreations]

Hi! I don’t sand my cups. I use to but when I had to strip a bunch of tumblers I realized that sanding doesn’t make much of a difference if you base paint your cups with a primer- which I do for all my cups.

[@karijohns8141]

How did you apply your glitter? Little holes in the bottom of the med cup?

[@damfancycreations]

I mention in the video that It is a tea strainer, it is shaped like a medicine cup though haha!

[@septinawillis31]

Your tutorials are very easy to follow..Question: Do you use a mask when applying your epoxy?? Are your epoxies toxic??? Thanks for sharing..

[@damfancycreations]

Hi Septina! Thanks so much! Even though the Epoxy I use has zero VOC I do still wear a respirator. When you mix part A and B a chemical reaction occurs and releases fumes and you definitely don’t want to be breathing that in. It is always best to protect your lungs when working with chemicals like this. :)

[@ShawneesJourney07]

For clarification. You use the CCDIY regular artist resin. Not medium viscosity or thin. Just plain artist resin?

[@damfancycreations]

I use Fast Set and Artist Resin. I do have medium and thin viscosity as well but I prefer the thicker formula of Artist Resin. If you like a thinner formula I would go with medium viscosity. :)

How easy or hard is it to change the tops? I have been trying to figure out how to change toppers for like 6 months but always come back in my mind "how do they get the top off? If I use magnets how easy will it be to pop on and off?"

It’s really easy. I tell customers to twist the topper until the magnets detach from each other and thats it!

I worry that if someone leaves their tumbler in their car, the heat would soften the wax from the hot glue gun and the ice topper would fall apart? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Is there a different glue that could be used?

I seal everything with epoxy. The glue is just to hold the rocks on until I epoxy. I recommend sealing ever crack with epoxy so water can’t get trapped a d mold start to grow.
