[@PeriodSixDesigns]

Glad to be helpful!

[@creativelymichelle]

I am a beginner and have watched 100's of video and I have to say your videos are far best at explaining the method to every detail. I applaud you :)

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

Thank you!

[@lizperry2085]

Exactly how I feel. I’m new to this and out of all the videos hers are the best

[@rasonbonner9600]

I love how you’re not selfish with your information!! Thanks for sharing. Very informative

[@tinasanchez7739]

I'm a little late to the game and I have been watching so many beginner tutorials and your explanation is by far the best info!! I am a subscriber and just love watching all your videos. Thank you for making this video is has answered so many questions for me :) thank you so very much!! God bless girlie

[@blckgrlctygrdn]

I’m a new subscriber and watcher and you’ve made me feel a lot more confident after watching your videos. I’ve been binging all weekend. Thank you. I’m going to get my supplies and start.

[@sugamamalivin]

Excellent video...doing research on epoxy/getting started & I LOVED it.

[@MichelleCat214]

Monica, you are the absolute BEST at instructional videos!! You're easygoing, knowledgeable, have a wonderful speaking voice, completely thorough without being repetitive or just "filling time". You could do large seminars without batting an eye! Honestly, I really wish there were a "Monica Translation" of videos on all subjects!!! 🙂 I am going to make stainless tumblers and coffee cups for gifts for friends and family. I have been putting off getting started because all the other videos I have seen have left me unsure I got all the information or just left me confused. Now that I have found you, I am going to watch a few more of your videos and then get started. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

Aw thank you for the kind words! Happy crafting!

[@elishai.1181]

You are awesome at explaining things! I'm a beginner and you have helped me out sooooo much! TY

[@lizmartinez8070]

Awesome video thank you for sharing great information

[@celiavasquez9657]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@paradigmdesignsco8487]

Sorry I was little confused the box of epoxy you were holding was the one that don’t have any crazy fumes or is it another kind ?

[@anespinoza22]

I am a beginner. Thank you for the info!

[@albamurillo1894]

Thank you this is such a great video.

[@brandi66RN]

Yes, sanding video 😊

[@anamariafrancisco4150]

Thank you for all your tips. I am just star doing tumblers and your videos really help me.

[@lizperry2085]

I just started glitter tumbling and came across one of your videos. I LOVE how real and clear you are! Your videos are by far my absolute favorite. If I’m having an issue I say “let me check with Monica” she’ll help me. Thank you :)

[@lizperry2085]

Monica what is the LEAST amount of time a cup can be on the turner? I kinda had an Oopsy moment and had to take one cup off and put another on. I had to turn the one by hand for quite a while. I learned my lesson. I feel like maybe an hour but was wondering if you had anything similar happen?

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

honestly that depends on the epoxy brand/type but i would say like 8 hours or i can grab it with my bare hand

[@shpaules]

You are wonderful! Thank you for all this!!

[@kathleendouglas3179]

Awesome video!!!!

[@mimiluv9283]

It gets messy all around my working area how can I clean sticky epoxy my heat gun was stuck dried with epoxy

[@dwilliams247]

Never done a tumbler but you make it sound easy. Going to Michael’s today to get started 👍🏼

[@ashlee2649]

Do you have a full step by step beginner video for the glitter wine glasses and tumblers? Also can you do one with coffee cups if you haven’t yet ?

[@Relax-wk2id]

I am SOOOO glad to have found you!

[@christaw.5572]

Hi! I love this video, it has answered so many of my questions. One question I do have is where is the best place to allow your tumblers to cure? Inside or outside of the house?

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

Somewhere that's well ventilated so if you have a room in your house where no one sleeps and can crack or a garage...but honestly sometimes I just leave mine on the kitchen counter

[@amandapowers87]

I just bought this epoxy but now i am scared to use it because of the odors

[@joemendez8458]

Thx for being real

[@JazzyJae88]

Monica, can look into EnvoMask. It’s an N95 grade mask with interchangeable filters. Easy to order online from the manufacturer.

[@pamelanewman9635]

Thanks

[@ThisOLmaan]

yeah Monica i used Amazing Clear Cast Resin and all was good well did have strong order, and Bubble were Meh, but Curing time is faster than I expected, no Stickiness, I just tried, "Let's Resin Epoxy Resin, and no order, bubble-free, but the curing time is horrible, one Letter I molded is still Harding, I thought my Ratio was off, I went back on Amazon Comment, and yes many had the same issues, with it being flexible, you know all had its Pro's and Con's, was to good to be true no order, no bubbles, so going Back Too Amazing Clear Cast, despite the order, like I said pros, and cons, I ben searching for a different brand, but mostly are same as the "Let's Resin" brand, but ty for the video, so yeah stick with Amazing Clear cast, going back to it my self.

[@karenharris4176]

I just want to start by saying Thank You for this video. I’m just starting literally, this week. I did a lot of research first. You are really good at explaining. 1 question I do have is if all I am doing is base coat a tumbler, and I put a couple photos with a water slide method, and a couple words with vinyl, and no glitter, how many coats of epoxy do I need to do? Is 1 coat enough if it looks good?

[@loyalty773]

I just subscribed.. love your videos. Abiut to binge lol

[@cfjack4me]

Thank you for all your videos, very informative. I am inspired to do my own glitter/ blinge Tumblers & try to buy a turner & do epoxy for myself and Xmas/ birthday gifts. The only thing is I will need to order vinyl decals on Etsy because I don’t have a criscut to do names

[@pennyjoe100]

Sanding vid please

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

hey....i show my detailed sanding in this video around the 19:30 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4amdaZon5almtk

[@stephanieavila1297]

Love your channel

[@kelligirlnyc9763]

How many spinners do you typically use? Great video....Thank You!

[@gritsnwavy3059]

I purchased my own PVC cutter. I got anxious while waiting a by for a Lowe’s associate. I probably won’t need it much but it’s only $15 bucks and it’s soo easy to use.

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

I have a fear of slicing a finger off so i let the associates do it for me lol

[@paradigmdesignsco8487]

Do you also recommend sanding fine glitter or just chunky glitters ?

[@tralalalisamom]

Sticky epoxy - is there a coating that you can put over it to "fix" it? Or should I just strip it and start over? A google search pulled up a couple of fixes - one was to re-resin over the sticky resin, and another was resin spray. Do you have any experience with either of these methods, and would you recommend them? I'm starting out with glitter pens then will graduate to cups eventually. Thanks for the video and information!

[@diand9010]

Hi, I applied my second layer of epoxy and sanded trying to smooth out some bumps. Do you have to make it completely smooth before adding the last layer? Which I hope will make it one flat layer… Also, I am using Dr.Crafty (3 days cure time) but will switch to the brand you are using. Thank you in advance.

[@lauragardner4205]

How fast should my cup spinner be going?

[@susankniola5958]

Thanks! Great info :) I would LOVE to see a tutorial with the water bottle. I got over ambitious and tried it in my very first round of cups and failed miserably lol! It was very awkward to glitter and I hadn't gotten my glittering technique down yet :) (Bright side: it was very easy to strip lol!)

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

I'm going to do one...it wasnt until I was filming this video that i realized that I havent done one

[@luwanamedina3904]

Why do I keep getting fussy things on my cups after I put epoxy is when I see them? I got the bigger box and it's taking longer to dry... I moved from the garage to the room and back to the garage because it's not drying like it was...

[@jillianhall1879]

So awesome!! Thanks for all the great info! Where are the links to your other pages? I'd love to follow!

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

thank you! I have stuck them in the description box!

[@mimiluv9283]

Can I only do one layer on my tumblers?

[@sirrobotic5403]

I am new to epoxying tumblers and I've only done 4 so far, but ALL of them end up with big fish eyes and dry spots/craters. I have tried every trick I've seen online to correct it (made sure I am mixing and measuring right, bought heater for room to control temp, let any paints dry for 48 hours before applying epoxy) every change I make and it still comes out the same. What else could be wrong?

[@HS-lx9bu]

Hi. I made an art piece on a canvas. My metallic paints dried so I added blobs of epoxy to get glitter to stick and now it kind of looks ugly where the epoxy portions are glossy and there's glitter on it and the non-glossy paint without glitter. Is there an easy, non-destructive way to remove the epoxy?

[@arlenealcaraz7830]

Thank you, your AWESOME 🙏🏽

[@tiararandle1813]

I put 10ml of part A and B in and they never come out right like they still be a little sticky

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

That such a small amount so if you are even just a little off there isn't much room for error. Try mixing 20-30 of each side at one time and see if you get the same result

[@janetfigueroa6083]

i have the same issue they never cure 😫

[@arianacatania145]

I have a powdered coated tumbler that I’m only putting one decal on it I had already added the decal to the cup can I put the epoxy then sand then epoxy again? I’m new to epoxy 😩

[@ericamartinez8828]

Yes, most people epoxy after the decal so no peeling occurs

[@adelesmith7370]

I made my 1st glitter tumbler and thought I had a good 1:1 ratio. But after 24 hours it is still sticky. Should I add another layer and remix or try and remove it? Trying to preserve my glitter pattern

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

so see if you can sand down the sticky layer before you recoat it....if you sand and it seems sticky all the way through, i would personally scrap it as it may never fully cure

[@eriseldalizarraga4897]

How long for the second coat of epoxy and there two type of epoxy for plastic and tumblers ? Please advice

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

I talk about both in the video.

[@gritsnwavy3059]

Joanna still have good 40% coupons if you have one near you.

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

I always forget about joannes! we didnt have that many in new orleans but we have plenty in colorado

[@samanthaperez2531]

I’m trying to make glitter tumblers for the first time. i’m not sure how to use epoxy. My first time I did it I think I didn’t put enough because I still felt the glitter and my second one is really sticky after 6 hours of spinning. What am I doing wrong?

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

Are you using the alumilites epoxy? Also did you check out my other epoxy video?

[@rebeccawilkinson8561]

So if you epoxy cups, can they go in the dishwasher??

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

No, i still dont put them in the dishwasher

[@rebeccawilkinson8561]

Period Six Designs I’m wondering why? Wouldn’t the epoxy help protect the design??

[@kathleendouglas3179]

@@rebeccawilkinson8561 I’m pretty sure it’s because the high heat would reactivate the epoxy. 🤷‍♀️ I think so anyway.

[@_MS.LC_]

Are you still using this spinner

[@PeriodSixDesigns]

yes
