      I agree I don't know why people have music. Even radio stations use music in background when they are interviewing someone and usually the music is louder than them talking. Just too much going on for me.

    I love these tumbers. I want to get started but so worried about the epoxy. How do I get started? I have a cricut maker to make decals. How cups have you runied before you made one great. I love these as gifts. Please any advice.... Thank you Aaron
    these are amazing!!!!

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED
      @JMARIEDESIGNED  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Aaron! There is definitely a learning curve to doing them, but they are so much fun to do. All I can say is take that first step, make a few mistakes, and learn. Trust me, my strip bucket has held quite a few.

    • @bethbriers774
      @bethbriers774 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The tumblers can be stripped and redone. We've all messed a few (or more) up, but they can be stripped. Look on TH-cam for how others have started. You need epoxy resin that is FDA compliant (ProMarine is my favorite, or Alumulite, as well as 1 or 2 others), lots of glitter, your cricut for decals, a turner (it's quite cheap to make, $30 for the grill rotisserie turner at Lowe's, and someone to make a simple holder; many TH-cam videos for that as well), cups (I get mine from Walmart), and after a while you may want some alcohol inks, india inks, mica powders (eyeshadow works also, just make sure its is ground down to a fine powder), etc for other effects on the tumblers. Its definitely worth it. Good luck!

      I apply another thin layer of epoxy over the glitter after the initial layer is dry.

    This was beautiful I may try this. I'm a newbie and love doing this. I have a question though what brand epoxy do you use, and is your area well ventilated?
    I've heard you either should wear a masks or well ventilated so I am on my balcony but it's spring now and wasps are out I don't know what else to do. Any information on safe products would help.

  • @ashleythomason4590

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED

      Before paint I simply wash with Dawn dish soap.

  • @noellathomas
    @noellathomas 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this tutorial. I have one question. After this method as cured, is there a need for another coat of epoxy?

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED
      @JMARIEDESIGNED  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, it isn't smooth. I do one more layer of epoxy (thin layer) and then my vinyl and final layer of epoxy.

    What an awesome tutorial! I love how this one turned out. Let me ask you, if I do one coat like you did and I want more of the "flow" look can i just add another thick coat of epoxy on top of it and do it again? Of course after the 1st layer is completely dry. Thank you.

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED
      @JMARIEDESIGNED  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I remove the tape after it spins for about 15 minutes... sometimes longer, sometimes not. I pull my tape really early compared to most, though.

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED
      @JMARIEDESIGNED  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The heat gun is an old one from when I did a lot of rubber stamping, but Hobby Lobby carries embossing heat guns, and you can use a coupon for it. I will do another quick video on how we put together the turner. It is really pretty basic. My 15 year old son built it for me with scrap 2x4 we had at home.

    • @susanflowers9240

  • @niddybear
    @niddybear 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you don't add a decal, would you need to add another coat of epoxy? Is is this one coat sufficient?

    • @JMARIEDESIGNED
      @JMARIEDESIGNED  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nissa, I would add more thin coat over this as the glitter is still kind of on top of the epoxy, so you wouldn't have a smooth surface.

      There are lots of tutorials on how to build a turner out there. I always let mine spin 8-12 hours.

    I dont have an automatic turner so I took my apple corer/peeler and stuck a piece of good heavy duty cusion foam, skewered it onto the peeler and away I went!! You might need an extra hand with an arm attached to help out with the tuning... but hey, i made do.
