Sweetie, that was no heat gun! That was a torch! There is a big difference. One has a flame, and the other wind doesn't. However, they both pop the bubbles. Just wanted to make that clarification before I tell you tonite is the 1st night I have watched your videos. There awesome! I watched your other video, and it; brought tears to my eyes, and I totally understand@ The only other thing I'm gonna say is please continue to make your videos! They brought me so much joy, before you brought tears to my eyes, but please don't let it stop you! You are too good at what you do! Your tumblers are gorgeous, and it was YOURS that I chose to watch, because they are so gorgeous and different than everyone else's. You have a great talent that needs to be shared. But, take care of you first, then continue on!! You are too good at it! ♥️🙏

[@RuffLifeGoldens]

You are amazing... finally someone who is straight forward, no excessive chatter, and skilllzzz! Thank you!

[@ashdan4107]

Love this! Thank you so much for this!! Your are the first person to discuss everything from turning epoxy, bubbles, glitters,etc in the same video. You make it very easy to follow along and understand it!!! Thank you Thank!!!!

[@heatherkirsten2488]

Thank you! I love the extra info you gave, like warming up your epoxy.

[@tonhajo9630]

Seriously! You are amazing 👏 Seriously great quality, tip!!!! I have started this fun journey . Thank you 😊

[@NICOLEMARETT]

You're very welcome! Welcome to the tumbler world, enjoy the journey!

[@kathywilliams5732]

The rose gold is absolutely my favorite too.

[@taniak7748]

Awesome tutorials! I’m going to follow these for my first Milky Way! Some people say you need to seal the glitter with a spray adhesive before adding epoxy if you use multiple different colours. You didn’t do this and added your epoxy... I’m not sure what I should do....

[@melissaduncan6115]

Those glitters under epoxy 😍

[@adrienneclement8720]

Thank you so much for sharing. You have really done a great tutorial! Answered so many of my questions in this two part video!

[@adrienneclement8720]

Beautiful too

[@crystalcasarez842]

I figured out the activation and warmth of the epoxy by accident. I left the epoxy mixed for 15 mins to go do something and it had no bubbles and was just thick enough to give awesome coverage.

[@notsparkleplays]

Okay these colors are amazing. Take all my money 💰

[@fcdykes87]

I knew there was a reason I liked you. Houston baby!!! Love the Yeti and all the glitter!

[@miaa5712]

Beautiful cup!!!

[@kristinapayne1930]

Omg!! I have to say your awsome...I loved that you explained everything and show different techniques THANK YOU 😀

[@plussizedivav]

Lmaooooo the way she hit the heat gun....pop those bubbles....move it very fast i get sp weak. Love her commentary

Thank you so much!

[@albertotorres9885]

OMG YES HOUSTON TEAM!

[@Christine-rx8di]

I looked up the epoxy you use but it doesn't say that it can be used on tumblers. It says its food safe but to use it on a cup that we drink from the rim often would it be safe? Im currently using envirotex and am looking for another possibility. Im in Canada, thats also challenging because not everyone delivers here. I kept getting mixed messages from envirotex when i emailed and messaged them whether or not its safe. First they say yes once its cured, next message says no none of their products should touch our lips. (eyeroll) lol i wish theyd get their stories staright. Anyway i love love love this cup your doing.. its so beautiful

[@kathywilliams5732]

You are just so cute! I love watching your tutorials. I always learn something. I wish I had your help on a challenge.

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Thank you! How can I help you?

[@kathywilliams5732]

@@NICOLEMARETT my friend and I try to do a challenge in our fb groups and give away the cup to the highest participant

[@franciscarevilla9685]

Hello Nicole , Could you tell me how long do you wait between each coat of epoxy?

[@bubbleglitter03]

My glitter layer is moving when I place the layer to “seal” it. I waited almost 8 hours. Do you think it was time or epoxy that made the glitter move? Almost all of the layer just started moving around the whole cup as if it was the first layer. Before I did the second layer it was dry, hardish (not wet) but the glitter could flake off if I tried hard enough. The glitter was set on the cup (or not? I guess). Should my first layer of epoxy that I poured the glitter on have been thicker? Just giving you as much info as possible.

[@back2basicsmomplj857]

Can we see the finished product? Well done tutorial.

[@back2basicsmomplj857]

Never mind... just found part 3 :)

[@karenmolloy]

Do all brands of epoxy heat up? I am not sure I ever noticed mine getting warm.

[@NICOLEMARETT]

That's a good question! Depending on the speed yours cures at I would say. Generally, if you are working with a fast set epoxy then you would notice. Otherwise, longer setting epoxy, big batch pour artist epoxy, and slower curing epoxy would probably not be as noticeable.

[@tonichiusano562]

You are a riot. Love your videos!!!❤️❤️💕💕

[@sylviakoelsch3045]

Great video! I am just starting out making tumblers, I bought a tumbler kit from amazon that has silicon brushes, can I apply the epoxy with those? thanks!

[@janemarie1681]

Sylvia Koelsch yes you can and Epoxy comes off silicon part. They are a great tool!

[@miaa5712]

Eyyyyyy Houston we showing up 😎

[@spellinggrrbee]

The little click you kept giving the torch made me laugh uncomfortably lol

[@camontag2002]

Question, typically how long does it take for your epoxy to warm up?

[@yolandamcbride3404]

Wow!! I absolutely love the the flawless design.

[@heatherlee4316]

Great tutorial!! I learned a lot, thanks!

[@michelleallan3798]

Hey hun, love love your tutorials. Just a quick question how long do you let the first coat of epoxy you put on AFTER the glitter cure for before the second one where you put the micas ect on wet. Do you let it fully cure or do you put them on back to back.

[@marydennis1672]

That’s what I am wondering

[@janemarie1681]

Love this tutorial! Tfs 💖

[@apriltimperley6653]

? I’m really new to tumblers. I can’t find Mica powder at hobby lobby...Could I use acrylic paint? To get the same affect.

[@buttercup3422]

I am using mica I don’t have your stuff yet can you tell me about how much I would need using Mica powder also you have the best video on how to do this you explain it where I understand it thank you

[@patriciasims3426]

Two questions! What type of heat gin do you have and where do I purchase? And do you need to use latex gloves when working with epoxy?

[@misshulagirl05]

[@cindyyates2688]

You should be using nitrile gloves when working with epoxy.

[@julieingram5058]

Did you seal your glitters before applying your first layer of epoxy?

[@laurentracy6282]

I'm searching so many videos trying to find the answer to this question 😩

[@angelicacardenas562]

What is the name of the little machine and where can I find it, thank you I was inspired by your videos thanks and greetings from Monterrey Mexico blessings

[@TheAngelwings1977]

Love Love Love!!!!!! I’m in H-Town too!!!

[@jennalangford8010]

Where can I purchase the dyes"

[@ltgriffin7601]

Thank you for this 3 part tutorial! I have one question, would white acrylic paint work in place of the white dye?

[@Tristabellerawr]

I just tried this and it doesn’t have enough pigment to make an opaque color. It also was extremely runny. I don’t recommend it.

[@carolynking1981]

Omg... I love this ❤️ you do the best videos!!!

[@lilwl19701970]

What is supporting your pvc pipe towards the cup. It looks like a metal bracket can you please tell me I need support bad for my turners

[@tinabuenzow9992]

omgosh its so awesome the way you explane everything! and that cup is awesome! and oh I'm in the suburbs of Houston!! would love to meet you some time!

[@felbrook]

Who made the turning wheel or can you buy it x

[@racquelknowles3536]

You said you white dye is that dye for your clothes??

[@robincook7209]

Do you add anything else to your micas to do the marble effect and did you use Aluma light white dye

[@cheleseasnyder2261]

The white dye is that like the alcohol ink?

[@courtneyfay3382]

May I ask, how long did it end up taking for your tumbler to finish drying/curing?

[@jadenovotny5735]

Do you just use white paint with epoxy? Or is that a mica as well?

[@melissacarney5208]

Before you put your pigment you said U put two coats of epoxy to get it wet... question do you wait between coats and if so how long?

[@malindasmith3496]

Melissa Carney It may depend on the brand of epoxy you use but I believe you should wait at least 8 hours between coats. If you apply a new coat before the first coat is cured you risk the first coat not curing properly and having a soft cup.

[@NICOLEMARETT]

6 hours to reapply and 72 hrs for fully cured.

[@Gawgamom]

Where do you purchase the white dye?

[@Laycismom]

Illumilite dye on Amazon

[@kathykov1]

Yes!!!! So excited for this 💜💜💜

[@kathykov1]

You give the best directions.

[@FurbabiesnFun23]

how do you buy these? is there a way to order some? that would be a awesome gift for christmas

[@krist4st4r]

Do you add another layer of epoxy once that dries?

[@LcCosby]

Howdy neighbor! I'm in Houston too!

[@stacie9060]

Thank you for this video! Where can I get that torch used in pt 1?

[@malindasmith3496]

[@MayhemBling]

Thank you so much for such a great informative video!!!

[@leannehicks8767]

Omg! I knew I recognized you!! I live like 30 minutes from where your based 😂

[@buttercup3422]

I am a little confused so after you put down your glitter and it hardens then you just put another layer on and then you put your colors that you’re using to vein right you don’t do your glitter then the Lair and let that dry and then another layer

[@andrearoose9528]

After its finished can you add vynil? Then you will have to epoxy again?

[@ninarechin2531]

Does the epoxy start to soften or melt in the dishwasher?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Metal tumblers in general should not be run through the dishwasher. The high heat can damage seals and the double-walls that keep your drinks hot or cold.

[@marianaalvarado948]

Is the white a pigment or mica powder?

[@lilycessna3077]

I have "Stone Coat" Resin can I use that as my Epoxy? What is the difference of Resin and Epoxy?

[@StellaB0077]

How long does it normally take for your epoxy to start heating up? This one is taking forever 😂. Counter culture

[@craftykirsty277]

Omg!!! I am loving this!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@janah9649]

New subbbie! Love this tutorial!

[@perkynfeistyaf]

I use promarine. anddd when i warm up my epoxy it gets thin. usually when its too thick it doesnt look like it's been mixed completely and then i wind up with tacky spots. weird

[@jeric.9160]

How much epoxy are you using?

[@sharinessig7806]

What kind or brand is your turner.

[@esmeraldaromo4097]

can you please tell me the name of the white please?

[@lachrisamaloney4278]

What type of torch do you use? Also where to purchase?

[@claudiateixeira9710]

What is the 2 color glitters on your cup in the 0:52 mark

[@marciahoffman2591]

does the epoxy need to be completely smooth before doing the swirl

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Marcia Hoffman not totally but enough so the pigment seeps between the glitter

[@kayleighrothchild4675]

Im in houston too!!

[@NICOLEMARETT]

As the tumbler turns the white will spread and get "foamy"

[@xavieliz56]

What are the names of the product you use to creat the color paint ?

Love the tutorial! Quick question for the white color did you use mica powder or paint? TIA!

[@suziescrapbook3574]

Monica Martinez it was paint. Not sure what type but possibly acrylic.

[@monkieanne]

Where exactly can I get the white dye you used?

[@kbishop12]

Can I do this with metallic paint as well?

[@naomiseiler292]

Do you wear a big ol' respirator mask when applying the epoxy or am I ok without one?

[@RuffLifeGoldens]

Naomi Seiler you should definitely wear one. Epoxy is definitely not good for your lungs and can cause bad reactions. Sometimes the reactions don’t start right away but nevertheless, it’s important to wear proper gear. 👍🏼

[@blondegator00]

No matter what I try, my colors ALWAYS run together. Is it because I’m using the alumilite epoxy? It seems like those who use the countertop and marine epoxy, their glitters and micas stay in place better. Any help is appreciated!

[@t.l.cummings6400]

Message me, I'll explain

NICOLE MARETT thanks! I just joined the FB group and requested my set!

[@sealinalashelle5126]

The glitter part almost feels like a waste because you hardly see it but this is a lovely cup.

[@NICOLEMARETT]

I feel ya which is why I am not a huge fan of the dirty pour geode look. However, the style is going after visual texture and layers. The white that I am coming out with doesn't cover the sparkle completely and lets the glitter shine through. It's perfectly made for layering and does not "waste" the glitter bling.

[@weretherubys962]

I soo want on of these, do you have an Etsy shop?

[@TwinCitiesCPR]

What was the white you used?

[@sherrylindberg]

Where did you get the heart mold?

[@melissacarney5208]

When I’ve let my epoxy warm up it seems like it’s more sticky and harder to spread is this correct or am I waiting/warming to long?

[@Bunny1266]

You're probably waiting too long.

[@malindasmith3496]

You want it to start to thicken not cure. If it’s too thick try warming it up. If you wait for it to thicken when you do apply it you have to move quickly.

[@melissacarney5208]

Malinda Smith doesn’t heating it up rush the cure time and thicken it?

[@malindasmith3496]

Melissa Carney If you just got it with a heat gun it thins it out for a bit. I don’t mean heat it a lot for a long time.
