I started with a prepped (sanded & spray painted flat white) 20 oz. tumbler. Shake your spray cans vigorously for at least a minute before spraying into your water bucket to avoid separation or clumping. Supplies I used are listed below. I used 2x Rustoleum Clear Gloss to seal my waterslide (sprayed 4 times, allowing about 15 minutes dry time in between each application).

Very cute! There's so many little things that can go wrong. This turned out great.

Thank you so much! ❤️

I love it! My daughter and I love highland cows, this is perfect for July. I have yorkies and they chew their toenails too.

[@holleezhobbies]

Highland cows are among the cutest! JJ (my pup) goes to town on his toenails. My coworker who sold us JJ calls it self-grooming. Now if he can just learn to brush his own hair! 😂🤣

Too cute!

Thank you!

Super pretty. Usually dogs bite their feet area because they itch. Usually from allergies.

[@holleezhobbies]

Thank you! Oh boy...hope he doesn't have allergies. :( I'll ask the vet about it next time I go in.

[@CeruleanBlue1967]

@@holleezhobbies I hope he doesn’t too. Good luck.

Super cute! I ❤ highland cows ❤. I find that if I put white and red paint into my bucket for a hydrodip, my paint swirls come out pink…I’m impressed yours didn’t! I also add less paint than you with a glitter base so you can still see the glitter underneath without having to do much work.

[@holleezhobbies]

Thank you! I got super lucky with the red & white paints not mixing into pink. Less paint definitely creates a lot less work! ;)

I love this tumbler! The cow is so cute and I like the stars. I had the same problem recently with my epoxy curing too soon while I was applying it, stressed me out. I decided to use my heat gun on the tumbler and it actually worked to make the epoxy liquid again so I could spread it easily. Thank goodness the crisis was averted, lol.

[@holleezhobbies]

My heat gun has saved my epoxy many times, but once I held it too close for too long, & I burned the epoxy. Whoops!! 🤣

[@sjsechrest43]

@@holleezhobbies Oh no that's not good. I did that with my torch once, lol. 😬

[@holleezhobbies]

🤣 I'm glad I'm not alone!

@@holleezhobbies I've only been doing tumblers for about a year so it's nice to know that you pros mess up once in a while, lol.

I've only used Kamar varnish a couple times, but it repels my epoxy when I use it. I only use it to seal my alcohol inks, but now I always use another sealer on top of it to prevent repelling.

[@holleezhobbies]

Really? Good to know. I bought Kamar varnish, originally, to seal my decals before applying Brite Tone. Works great with water-based products.
