Sanding Epoxy Tumblers

[@sindyandralph]

Yes please. Would love to see the taping off video. Thanks for this. Needed this video

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

[@gourdhead22]

Very helpful.. Thanks.. Yes I would love a video on the taping the bottom of tumbler and even the top rim.. Hoping you have a wonderful Christmas. Take care hugs Sheryl ☃️🎄☃️

[@suzietotheq]

Thank you! This helps knowing that sometimes you go through what I’m going through lol.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

All the time! It’s part of the deal!

[@natbox3522]

I'm glad to know I have been doing all this correctly. It's not my favorite part of tumbler making but most important for longevity and appearance when it gets in the customers hands.

[@loismaddux4800]

I like the bottoms to be finished. I think it makes the cup much nicer than to leave it naked. Great video!

[@ejportillo]

I’m obsessed with your flannel!! 🤩

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thank you!

[@daphneemoe9204]

I’ve learned so much from you. I feel like for my small business it has upped game so much!! I can’t even keep up at times! Thank you for helping me improve.

[@MichelleWillemonMann]

I just love the videos that you post. Sanding my tumblers used to be scary for me. I do appreciate the tip about sanding the rim of the cup. I have recently started taping all of mine off so that I get a good seal.

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

I'm new to tumbler making but what I love so much about it is how flexible it is. I've messed up on my first few but nothing so bad that a bit of sandpaper and a new thin coat of resin/epoxy won't fix. I am having a blast with it! My mom's Mother's Day cup (floral vinyls with Vinyl best mom ever) turned out AWESOME and she LOVED it! I am working on a beach themed one for my Navy son currently. He loves the ocean like I do so I hope he'll love it. Loving your videos girl!

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

That’s great!!! How exciting ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@charlottejensen2864]

Thank you, Jessica for this video. It’s very helpful. Yes, I would love to see a video on taping off the bottom rim.

[@amabuckeye]

You're the best for doing this!!! To me its the most important thing for the life of the tumbler!!!!!!

[@mocitygirl77]

I never thought about running the bottom over sand paper like that. Great idea!

[@ncarter78x]

I love how you sand the bottom! So much easier!

[@donaunsworth5620]

Ive never tried anything like this. So had no idea on sanding level papers etc. Your tutorials are amazing for beginners. Thank you so much ❤️

[@candilindsay]

This is so pretty!! My husband bought me a deburring tool to help me clean the edge of my tumblers. (You can find one in the plumbing section in home depot or Lowes.)

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Great!

[@sherijones4184]

Love this tutorial. I learned this from you and use it on my tumblers. Once I started this method, my tumblers are better. Thanks!

[@steph101stephful]

Thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone and teaching tips and tricks😍

[@diedraorebo684]

I learned something today. I’ve been doing things the HARD way, but I’m glad I’m not alone in making these kind of “mistakes”. I can’t tell you how many tumblers I’ve ruined and started over. (The “ruined” ones get stripped and reused)

[@CassInNC]

You have just answered EVERY question I had!! THANK YOU!!!!! 💗

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I'm so glad!

[@maddie8774]

Thanks for covering the wobbly bottom!! I thought I was the only one with that issue!!!

[@cherylpeel6486]

Wow, that was much more than just a sanding video! Thanks for going in to depth!!! Awesome video!

[@knitsewfancy]

I am glad you showed all the sanding it takes. Very informative. Thanks!

[@saebischer24]

Your attention to detail is incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@kimlandis4360]

Thank you so Much Ms Jessica for sharing this😍👍🏻your tumblers are always so flawless and beautiful 😊✨🧋I’m still learning and boy does my OCD kick in when it comes to wanting a tumbler to feel like a babies highknee 🤪🤣🤣👍🏻your techniques have helped me so much 😍😊I would love more fundamental tutorials us newbies need all the help we can get 😊☺️😍🧋🙃❣️

[@joannkessinger3397]

Jess, I love how thorough you are in this. It helps even us seasoned tumbler artists to know that we aren’t alone when things don’t go as planned and maybe we need that extra sanding or that extra coat of epoxy. Thank you so much sis ❤️

[@amandahaynie88]

I love that you do some fundamental videos! I'm not a new tumbler maker, but I usually find some things I can do better in these videos, so THANK YOU!

[@Happyinthewoods]

Thank you for the reminder of the basics. Sometimes it’s nice to hear someone else’s process

[@larissakirk1318]

You just have an amazing way of showing people how to do things. Great information!!! You are truly amazing

[@jenniferryan6073]

Love the idea of dragging it across the sanding sheet. Will definitely try that. Appreciate you sharing.

[@creativegrounds6471]

These sanding tips are spot on! Even though hand made is never “perfect” it is important that we get it as close as we can, we are representing ourselves every time we send our items out. With just these simple tips and tricks you can be that much closer to a perfect item.

[@customsbybri]

I love how detailed you speak on this!! 💖 you never disappoint

[@TheMedicswife]

I always learn something new from your videos. You are so creative and love the tumblers.

[@tcs1756]

[@tannaward2625]

Thank you for this video!! You are the reason I got into tumblers I have learned so much from you!!

[@vickywray7285]

Wow, so much work you all put into your tumblers. We take for granted it is all about the design and beauty, but it is so much more. Truly blood, sweat and tears.

[@SuperRita42]

Thank you for all your tutorials. Would love to see one on how you tape off the bottom. ❤️

[@craftyandsassygifts8965]

Thank you for your kindness and videos. Weather you say it or not or people share it with you are a blessing to others and we appreciate your time. Thank you! Can’t wait to learn more 😊

[@jolenemanuel1982]

[@Starieeye1]

Thanks for sharing all your excellent tips and talent. Glad you included the rocky bottom. Haven't seen that before. Always learning something from you. Thanks again

[@meganmaestas1186]

This tutorial is very helpful. Sanding is the foundation to a good quality tumbler that will last for years. Sanding sucks but is so important, thanks for providing more in-depth ways that you complete your sanding routine.

[@nieshagriner4274]

Love that teacher decal you used! Very cute!

[@katyc7278]

Wow! Wish I knew all this beginning of my tumbler career! Great information thanks for all the details and tips!

[@shellyswift2197]

I am learning so much from your videos. Thus one I have really been needing! I’m off to sand now- thank you!!

[@katiealderete7390]

That nice thin stainless rim looks so clean! I can’t do it with a flap wheel either, plus sanding blocks are so inexpensive I always have a bunch around!

[@jessicabrown765]

This video is so helpful! I am new to tumblers and was wondering how to finish the tumbler and seal it appropriately.

[@debbiewilkes2681]

I would love a tutorial on why you tape off the bottom of the tumbler! You are such an inspiration and thank you for sharing your tips and tricks and wanting all of us crafters to succeed!!!!

[@LeeshyLouWY]

[@porchejohnson4238]

[@allijmccoy]

[@dawnbrown9469]

Thanks Jessica! I really enjoyed this video. I have been making rumblers for a few years and this video served as a good reminder of a few areas I have gotten a little lax with 😬!

[@brendarheuff5822]

I like to review these basics! Great video!

[@tonibranham1007]

This is is something I have struggled with this! I appreciate all the tips and tricks. I love thorough you are and how descriptive you are!

[@emmawhite380]

This video was very helpful for me. This helped reinforce the basic skills for some of us who have been doing tumblers for awhile. Your video are always informative.

[@amyt5746]

Thanks so much, I used to really struggle with rims but this helped!

[@jenniferedie2674]

Thank you so much for showing the basic yet important tips! I was using a rotary tool but kept doing more harm lol!

[@crystalgarcia9143]

Thank you for taking the time of sharing your knowledge and for being a wonderful instructor

[@r.lynnkeen2293]

I love watching all of your videos, you are a very good teacher, and so cute! I too prefer to sand with sanding blocks, I tried the dremmel and my hand moved too much for a nice even strip. Keep up the great work!

[@aubreydavis3538]

I just LOVE your tutorials! I’ve learned so much and your creativity inspires mine :)

[@cobaltkitsuneco]

This video is perfect timing! I just started my first cup 😁

[@TheMom24girls]

This vid is perfect. I was literally looking through and watching and rewatching to see how you sanded. Thank you for helping this beginner.

[@alexisjohnson25]

Your videos are so helpful! Love watching them and always learning new things.

[@chipmunkchewy111]

Great tutorial as always. I have one brand/style with a very sharp bottom edge. I struggled with getting epoxy to cover the glitter and not sanding it off. I learned I was probably using too course of a grit when sanding. Thanks!

[@edithrobillard3667]

This was very helpful. Tha k you for taking the time to do this.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thank you for watching!

[@alyssataylor20]

Thank you for the tutorial and the importance of each step and why

[@nicolerobinson9271]

Thank you for the in depth explanation for all of this. You’re great!

[@shanntelwelliver4221]

Thank you for all the hard work you do to help us become better tumbler makers I appreciate you.

[@jamiestark9533]

I usually use my dremel, but go down to the stainless on the bottom too often. I'm going to try with a sanding block on my next tumbler! Thanks for the video!

[@kimberlyweaver8886]

This helped me so much thank you for sharing. I thought i did something wrong now 😅

[@amydavis4506]

Thank you so much, it is always nice when you share your tips with us. ♥️♥️♥️

[@pennyheard4826]

The bottom cup sanding has saved my bacon. Thank you for the tips 🙏🏼

[@RhondaJenkins61]

What I think you do the best is you thoroughly explain each step. Revisiting the fundamentals can always benefit any tumbler maker, novice or expert! Thanks for always sharing your expertise!

[@lakeshiajackson1993]

Jess this was so helpful. Especially how to get the bottoms nice and straight. Sometimes I forget to actually sat my cup down during the epoxy process and end up with a rocky bottom. I have never tried to put the sandpaper on the table to sand!!! Genius!!! Thanks once again!!

[@rachellelisby91]

Thanks Jess, you are always looking out for us.

[@maryvinnedge9660]

Thanks for all the tips, you are an awesome teacher!

[@LeAnnKee2]

I love all your videos! Your so thorough in explains everything. I don’t ever feel like I’m second guessing when I follow along 😊

[@Enjoyinglifetoday-1]

I feel better knowing you have tiny flaws in your final projects. I am glad to know I'm not alone on that.

[@Dwilliams7825]

love the behind the scenes tutorial. Can you also do a behind the scenes on mixing and having smooth epoxy? I always have a problem with fisheyes.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Sure!

[@ingridcamacho8917]

Same!!!

[@makenzietalbott3963]

I always need help knowing if I have gone down far enough around the top! Thanks so much for this clarification!!!
