Thank you showing an epoxy alternative! Your projects turned out awesome!❤️

[@1cariyoung]

I have been using this product for awhile now. Love it!!! I use it for tumblers. I will be selling it in my shop soon!!

[@artcreationsby1creativedir295]

I’ve been using Crystalac products for 2 years. I used to do tumblers with it but now I do fluid art and continue using it for sealing my art pieces. Great products, great US company!

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you for sharing! We will keep on testing it too - Agata

[@marymote8951]

I used the brite tone and it worked out fine on tumblers had really reaction to epoxy had to seek medical help. no problems with the britetone

[@Sharemyjoi2]

I bought their kit with the flipping awesome paints and I love this product I did my first tumbler and it was great, nice video thanks!

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Your projects turned out great!! Looks just like epoxy. Thank you for all the tips you shared!! I sincerely appreciate this alternative to epoxy product video. 💐💛🌺💛🌸💛💐💛🌺💛🌸💛

[@becomingdryork2919]

Great video and information. I have never used regular epoxy. I only use Art Resin which is also non-toxic and food safe but will definitely try Crystalac since you recommend it. Thanks again.

[@lisaray9641]

I’m so glad a sound you, I was researching resin and today I was actually going to buy some and try. But thanx to your video I will be buying this product. Thank you. My fav was the hexagon wood pieces.

[@DesignBundles]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching!

[@donnab218]

Great stuff! I use my finger to spread since it's non-toxic. Hardens great. It's also used for guitars, so you know it's durable :)

[@almaarizpe3834]

Do you have any pics you can share.

[@marjoriecramer9102]

More Crystal projects please!

[@cpaulette1]

It says polyurethane - do you think you could sublimate on it?

[@HelloImAru]

I know this is an older post, but it's not advised. The owners say that you don't want to use heat on Crystalac in that manner, so sublimation would not be compatible.

[@grammas_gone_craftyakaleil2062]

I like the idea of this! Great tutorial

[@DesignBundles]

Glad you liked it! 😊

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

I have a lot of CrystaLac products, and they’re all great! Although I don’t use the products instead of epoxy on my tumblers, I do use the Extreme Protection to seal the decals on them. I’m using the rest of the products on a bass guitar that my son and I are building together. I also used their pigments to mix a custom paint color for the repurposed (formerly) built-in entertainment center that we bought to use as storage in my studio.

Lovely, was just looking at this earlier, had seen it recommended a lot. So, how is the hardness? Does it scratch easily, hold fingerprints, etc? Will it get tacky? I was using UV resin and don't have a good ventilation system so worried about the toxins. Would really love a product with little to no smell and no scentless toxic fumes as well. Thanks for the great video.

[@dcaldwell97]

hey... I have been using it for almost a year... it has a great hardness to and does not scratch easily. It doesn't get tacky as it is not mixed with 2 parts... I highly recommend to search KZbin for tutorials... I am not sure if I can mention those sites here or not... Also FaceBook has several great groups that give tutorials in their guide section... I recommend searching for the official Crystalac group to start! I use it in my house with no ventilation or PPE needed (unless sanding)

[@MixdJuxt]

@@dcaldwell97 thank you so much. I'm going to try some. Need to try to see how it compares.

[@kristinefendrick3633]

I need an epoxy alternative!!

[@lizhamilton5934]

Thank you so much! Did you seal the wooden earrings with Brite Tone before painting them?

[@DesignBundles]

You would use it after painting.

[@EyezofMoe]

I purchased this product and I’m excited to do my first project! I would like to know if you can use to seal a vinyl design on single ceramic tiles??

[@HeatherHunterJ]

I have been scared of epoxy and haven’t done anything other than modge podge or polycrylic I will try this for sure

[@millief08]

Looks great, would you do a video on make a mug with this product I would like to see how that would turn out ?

[@DesignBundles]

Great idea! 😊

[@almaarizpe3834]

Thank you for introducing this product. Would be an excellent substitute to use with my charcuterie boards.

[@DesignBundles]

You are welcome! 😊

[@almaarizpe3834]

@@DesignBundles I just order a small container to test it.

[@danpueppke9577]

Please remember that this is likely not a food-safe, FDA-approved finish for contact with food items. Further research would be prudent.

[@staceydailey6394]

I have birds and lizards in the house so I can't use epoxy at all! Birds especially have delicate respiratory systems and can die quite suddenly from fumes. This is why they would carry canaries into the mines. They would die before a human Can smell or notice a smell. And most captive reptiles die from respiratory distress or respiratory infection. So this product sounds great!thanks four the video! I will look forward to future videos as you continue to use it and get time to learn more of the long haul details too! Thank you again!

[@arlineology]

I have been using this and love it. When you buy directly through the original website, you get personal communication from the owners. In the end, it is as hard and durable as epoxy. You do many more coats but they are thinner and use less product in the long run than epoxy, and you can do the next coat after only 4 hours. The one thing I do not like about the product is not being able to use alcohol inks in the wet coat. You can "paint" it in between layers, but not as a part of the coat. Crystalac can be applied with your bare hand, saving on the amount of rubber glove and plastic cup waste.

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you for that information! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@tiffanyr4460]

Cool, I was interested in an alternative. Can I use this indoors?

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Tiffany, you sure can! Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@naptimecreations]

I'm going to try the Brite tone asap. It does take a lot longer than epoxy though 😅💟

[@DesignBundles]

Have fun! 😊

[@jaimieroma9436]

I'm noticing that my white cups have a yellow or amber color after cure. I that it was the glitter but my plane white design cups have a yellowish amber tint . Is any one else having this problem.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Jaimie! The yellowish tint could be caused from burning. - Dawn 🙂

[@olivia8979]

I am here because I watch all your videos :) I have not heard of Crystalac. I am dying to know if it is food safe, dishwasher safe... dare i ask microwave safe? Seems like applying it to a mug or tumbler may be problematic though if it needs to sit level so the crystalac can settle into level.

[@stacyminnick5429]

It Is not dishwasher, microwave safe. Neither is epoxy. You apply such thin coats that you should not have any pulling if doing correctly. It is great for tumblers.

[@marykayejenrich7845]

Thanks for providing an alternative to epoxy. That being said, I would have preferred that you would have stopped making the video in order to better become more familiar with the product, thereby giving us the rules as you went step-by-step.

[@kaylove1005]

I love this company. I use Brite Tone on all my cups it is the best. Anyone wanting to know more about these products I highly recommend Alisoncrafts on KZbin.
