Which is the Best Cup Turner for Epoxy Tumbler Beginners? | Cup Turner Review

[@DIYAlex]

The turner I suggest in this video is currently out of stock, and I've contacted the manufacturer and they haven't responded as to when or if it will be back in stock. I have also used this turner from Amazon and it would be my second choice: amzn.to/3kGyjuT

[@oraliavela3351]

Thank you i was about to ask if another choice due to not available

[@DIYAlex]

I use a 3M cool flow respirator. You can find it in my Amazon store under my epoxy list. Http://www.amazon.com/shop/diyalex

I just received my Turner and with it came a few little things I have no idea what they're for or how to use them can you help me out with this

[@DIYAlex]

[@jerraconnorsbuss4932]

Unfortunately the two cup spinners you did videos on are not available. Are there any others you would recommend?

[@DIYAlex]

I am in the process of finding a new one to recommend! Stay tuned!

[@shelbywiegand6290]

Newbie here. Can you please explain the reason for a cup turner? Is it just so it can be held on a steady surface & turn so you can get to all sides of it hands free? Like is there something special that the turning does?

[@DIYAlex]

Epoxy is self-leveling, so that's why a cup turner needs to hold the tumbler level while the epoxy is curing.

[@nightpartyfurry5031]

I am new to the epoxy world. What other projects do people epoxy on those turners? I seen cups and pens done on them. I have craft bear claw nails, from hobby lobby, I wanted to paint and epoxy and I have a fake gentlemen's smoking pipe that I decorated and needs to be epoxyed. Would they be ok and evenly coated without the turner or would the epoxy drop off and I would need the turner to keep everything on and even? Not sure what to do.

[@DIYAlex]

I’m not sure what either of these things are shaped like, but epoxy needs to be kept level in order to dry correctly. That’s the main key.

[@Adams-qd1eo]

Do you have a recommendation for a four cup turner?

[@DIYAlex]

I haven't used a multi-cup turner. Sorry about that!

[@kboone280]

Can you push the tumbler all the way up. What happens if you get epoxy on the foam? Will the tumbler come off?

[@DIYAlex]

If you get epoxy on the foam the foam will rip away when you remove the cup and that's fine. You can also cut the foam that's stuck off with an exacto knife. No big deal!

[@anitaeter139]

What is the weight of tumbler turner?

[@DIYAlex]

Ooh good question. I don’t have it with me, but I estimate it’s about 7 pounds.

[@oraliavela3351]

Waiting on your 2nd choice review on cup turner you suggested

[@DIYAlex]

I have another one coming out in December!

[@brendaallen7735]

@@DIYAlex lol, your second choice is currently out-of-stock.

[@oussamafounounou1292]

I want to sell this prodict where i can buy them .

[@DIYAlex]

Hello! It looks like this product is currently out of stock unfortunately. If it comes back in stock, hopefully they will update their Amazon listing!

[@oussamafounounou1292]

@@DIYAlex okay thank tou so much

[@MEB2005]

I just looked on Amazon and it looks like they don’t have the turner that you are showing in this video. 😢

[@DIYAlex]

I noticed that! I hate that it’s out of stock right now! I messaged the seller and haven’t heard back so if I get any information I’ll post about it!

[@riouxrathbun441]

context first. i saw some listing on FB marketplace, a person was selling a cup turner they had built, and i became curious on what the hell this deal is. so a quick google to your video. so you had some kind of tie dye .. cup? which needs turning for hours after you put epoxy all over it to dry? buuuut whats the end game here? making and decorating cups to sell or something? - not being rude, im just curious

[@DIYAlex]

Yes, people decorate the outside of stainless steel tumblers and coat them with epoxy. They can use glitter, alcohol ink, paint, and several more materials to do a lot of creative things with the tumblers. You don't have to sell them, but lots of creators do. I just create tutorials on how to make them and give them as gifts for my friends and family.

[@jennifergalvan9474]

Awesome tutorial! However, this item is no longer available. :/

[@DIYAlex]

Ugh! I'm sorry about that! Hopefully it will be back soon! There is a DIY kit that I believe is still available from the seller.

[@jennifergalvan9474]

Thank you so much, I will look into it!

[@DIYAlex]

You’re welcome!

[@beccalyn979]

@@DIYAlex Seller says at this point they will no longer carry them or the motors. :( Did you have a close second?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes! This is my second choice. It’s still very good! amzn.to/3h1yvlB When I get the time I’ll do an updated review on a this cup turner, but I’ve used it quite a bit and I like it too!

[@MichelleM]

awesome tutorial ^_^

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you!

[@matthewshepley8298]

$164 here in 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@DIYAlex]

Since I'm not the seller I don't have any control over that unfortunately.

[@matthewshepley8298]

@@DIYAlex don't worry, I'm not made at you... Just incase any other Canadian fans are looking

[@DIYAlex]

Good to know! That sounds crazy to me but maybe it’s because of shipping? But it’s not that heavy so I’m surprised it’s that different!

[@boojjimenez]

Dies the tumbler have to be metal

[@DIYAlex]

It can also be hard plastic, but it can't have any "give" to it.
