[@deavoljohnson5287]

😍 pretty!! Do you add a finishing coat or that’s it?

[@toniwade4204]

What do I lay it on when you lay it down to dry?

[@MariaVargas-uz4db]

Does the cup/tumbler have to be spray painted? Can we just use the tack it on a without spray painting?

[@keldaanderson7712]

Hey hun! I just did this then sealed it with clear spray and now it dont look holographic anymore.what did I do wrong? Urs is beautiful.

[@sunshyn6976]

Do you epoxy over the glitter after burnishing

[@shainayoung9426]

So pretty, but my question is how do prep the cup before base coat or just paint then tack it?

[@spiritwings4592]

#1 sand your cup. I use 220 grit then wash with dawn soap ; rinse well then dry. After drying I let mine sit for 10 to 15 minutes. #2 I spray paint a base coat and let dry. #3 tack it over & over . Mix 1 part tack it to 1 part water mix well. #4 Using a brush ; paint a thin layer of tack it mixture on your cup. #5 let dry 15min then apply glitter let dry another 15min. Then burnish. #6 Using Rustoluem x3 clear coat. Spray your cup and let dry 30 min then recoat. #7 proceed with epoxy etc.

After applying the glue...drying time is about 10 minutes? Or longer?

[@friscoleslie]

20-25 min

[@heart-centeredhealthcoachi3615]

does the glitter have to be holographic and be burnished to work with Tack-it? If so what do you recommend to be used with other glitter types?

[@mykaylabelcher7057]

I believe it has to be holographic glitter to get the effect.

[@ct7645]

Do you sand your cup first?

[@vanessarincon483]

Do u have to spray paint or u can do it just plain for the glitter

[@spiritwings4592]

You can do plain if you wish

[@MrsQueKnightWilliams]

What are you sitting the cup in /on when you finish glittering it

[@friscoleslie]

There are various stands you can buy or make. I put mine in a desk organizer

[@honey562012]

Do you know if the original Aleene's tacky glue in the brown bottle will work?

[@55shocked55]

I tried it didn't wrk for me

[@spiritwings4592]

No it won't work

[@tamekamontgomery865]

Can a brush be used to take off the excess glitter or is it better to use your fingers?

[@debbiedeshong5602]

She is burnishing the glitter...rubbing it in circular motion helps. Makes it appear flat, but gives the most awesome holographics!

[@tamekamontgomery865]

Debbie DeShong gotcha! Thanks for replying.

[@jarodwoods3650]

I have a clear mod podge I couldn’t afford the epoxy but this mod podge is water resistant but it says it cures in 4 weeks can any one explain this to me

[@55shocked55]

Its junk that's just my opinion

[@MrsQueKnightWilliams]

Do this only work with holographic glitter

[@friscoleslie]

MrsQueknight Williams regular glitter will work, but you won’t get the holographic effect

[@familyd2396]

Is the tack it method for holographic glitters only?

[@dragonbutterfly03]

You can use it to apply other types of glitters, but the holographic glitter is the only one that is going to give you the halo effect

[@marizag3878]

Do u do epoxy at the end

[@jrbandfab]

I have the same question!

[@55shocked55]

Yes ppl do

[@robinstevens2635]

I'm a little confused. First you said the blue tumbler was completely dry. Then when you went to put the glitter on it, you said it was tacky. Which is it supposed to be?

[@rhyanarmstrong354]

It dries tacky. It's supposed to be, that's how it works

[@spiritwings4592]

The tumbler was dry . Then you apply the tack it mixture and it dries tacky.

[@ghostiegirl1]

U said you've seen a lot of ppl put the rubbed off glitter in separate containers...but earlier u said u have never watched a video bc I like to figure it out on your own.

[@ashleyjarrod]

What's your point...I'm mean really!? Are you just here to troll?

[@spiritwings4592]

I don't want to sound rude. But at the price of materials now people can't afford to jump right in and do it as you said . If you were older you would know that not every one learns that way. It's best to go through the steps so new people who want to learn can. I went through and read the comments and I found that you answered very few questions that's sad for people wanting to learn.

[@ghostiegirl1]

U diluted it with what? Wooter?

[@holliscott3658]

🙄 water.....
