I love that you went back to basics. Your demographic is a broad one from the newbies and the seasoned. I love that this one embraces the newcomers. It is very inviting, and your skills give them a gorgeous platform to step up on.
This video was perfect and so detailed. I was in tears. I couldn't get my epoxy smooth. You given me hope. I will try all your suggestions from the video. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽.
Thanks for showing the step-by-step basics! I just started tumbling a couple of months ago as a casualty of the current times. Watching all those wonderful tutorials was a little intimidating, but learning to walk before running away with all the ideas I would like to try!
Thank you for the step by step and including the measurements for how much epoxy may be needed. This is the best beginner video I’ve come across, so informative! ☺️
You have by far the best tutorials, everything about your videos is great. Your tone, time, presentation, and your comments and resources. I would love a tutorial on the different epoxies, go over pros and cons of each and their best uses. Since there is no one epoxy fits all. I value your feedback and I dont want to invest to much money onto one cup.
Thank you for all your videos but especially the beginner videos! I am also starting to do tumblers and you explain things so we'll! Thank you for breaking down each step and really explaining! Definitely going to eat h some more of your videos 😊
Thank you so much !!! I needed to see that a final coat doesn’t mean just one coat. My final coat is 3 or 4 final coats. I was ready to give up! Love designing cup .. but using a chemical and expecting it to do understand what you want is the frustrating part. Thank you again. Very helpful. I’m letting every thing dry forever. (Sealer) waterslides) it takes me forever to make a tumbler. I need to be more confident and cut my time down.
Another awesome video with so much great information!! I've been making tumblers for a little over a year and I was still able to get some good info! I've literally been sanding my entire cup in between each layer so to know that I don't have to is a HUGE time saver! 😌🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you! And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who uses sharpie to cover up those little mistakes 😂😉
You don’t have to sand between each layer but it does promote better adhesion. Sanding also isn’t needed when your previous layer is still tacky like with what Jessica does. But be careful with doing that. You need to make sure you mixed and measured properly.
@@haleyleal23 yes, I am aware. I didn’t realize Jessica mentioned it because I hadn’t finished the video yet. Which is why I went back and replied again.
I needed this! Thank you so much!! 💖 I love glittering cups but I get terrible fisheyes when epoxying... I feel more confident about fixing my issues after watching this video! **Also cannot wait for Emerald City to come out!!** 😍😍
I was getting fish eyes on every cup I made I ruined 3 cups and I was told my resin was bad so I bought new resin The amazing clear cast epoxy and the last 4 cups have turned out perfectly.
Love the quote you put on! :) Try using an electric mouse sander, it’ll save you a ton of time, energy and you don’t have to waste the final sand for prep.
Hey there! Newbie here...I am working on my second cup, and when I go to sand the rim of the cup...it seems to get chunky and leaves a residue...even after 12 hours on the turner...am I doing something wrong? Would love your feedback!
Yay glad I stumbled upon this one! I’m having trouble understanding the sanding of the rim and the bottom though. Just wanting to sand a little bit off the rim so you can see the stainless steel? And I’m confused on how much of the bottom to sand and why? I’m just trying to learn as I want to start :)
So just a fine line to expose the stainless around the top rim and around the bottom rim if it’s bumpy and needs smoothing. Sanding the rims will also help your epoxy adhere better there since it tends to pull away from the rims
Love watching your videos and learning!!! Can you tell me what the product was you put on the tumbler at the very beginning to clean it? I can't wait to try my first one!!!!
Hi, I'm new, have yet to make my fist piece yet. What is the cleaning product you use with the Maroon Scotch Brite pad to prep your cups? I prefer this method over sanding! Less abrasive on the cup itself! And your work is PHENOMENAL!! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you so much Jessica for making these beginner videos! Great info, I was taking notes... I do have a question about the torch though. I dont know the distance to keep it at, either Im too close and make dimpples or too far and the bubbles dont pop. Any suggestions? Love, love, love all your videos and instagram posts
Thank you! This was very helpful! I received a tumbler as a gift. It had zero instructions for using it, & didn’t come with any cups or epoxy. I was clueless! One question, can these cups go in the dishwasher? Thanks so much!!!
HI! so glad I found your page. dumb question when you say epoxy you mean just the epoxy hardener or mixed with the clear resin? I just bought my first bottle of epoxy resin
Love this girl!! I have watched it a million times!! I have a question. When u get to step 8,the clean up, shud we still wear our respirator? Or can I go into another room and just get it cleaned up?I have developed a bad reaction to the epoxy so I havent been doin much but taking care of my face😂
Love this video. I am just starting. Do you have suggestions beside peachy for glitters? I would like to use them eventually but want to get something a bit cheaper for testers? I have seen a few on amazon but I don't know what I should be looking for?
to ensure the paint adheres properly to the cup. There is stuff on the surface that needs to be removed first to ensure proper adhesion with your paint. Some people don't prep cups at all and in my experience i just get better results when I do. Especially if you're going to be doing split cup designs and other complicated designs
Do you, or do you have to wear a mask or respirator when working with the epoxy? Or does everyone that does this just work outside….? My craft room is upstairs and I have kids in the house and cannot seem to find anyone that discusses anything about where it’s safe to do this or if you have to wear a mask. Anyone who can tell me I’d appreciate it.
I have learned so much from your videos but I'm still a newbie. When making glitter tumblers, do I have to sand the cup to leave a small margin at the top? Or can I glitter and epoxy to the top, and just clean up the top of the rim? Thanks for your videos, you're such an inspiration!
Newbie here. Thanks for the tutorial! I now think I could prep a cup. Now when say whatever amount of epoxy you're using, are you using part A and part B to equal that amount?
Where do you buy the final sand I watched both of your prep videos and there is no link to the final sand you used can you please provide us with where you purchased the final sand please?
Thank you sooo much there’s a lot of fake final sands I found on Amazon so I wanted to make sure I get the exact one you use thank you for all the helpful videos I love them all! 💖
Thanks for explaining about the rough edges. I am having trouble with getting good coverage at the top rim of my cup. I use a leveler to make sure my cup is level before applying epoxy however I just can’t get good epoxy coverage around the top rim. Any advice?
at how many coats are you at when you're noticing that? It's not uncommon for your epoxy to pull from the top a bit. it will usually take 4-5 coats until that goes away especially over glitter
I am a beginner and I totally appreciate these “basic” videos...they’re very informative and helpful.
Thank you ☺️ happy to help!
Agreed!!
As someone who is just about to make her first tumbler, this video was a God send! Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
I love that you went back to basics. Your demographic is a broad one from the newbies and the seasoned. I love that this one embraces the newcomers. It is very inviting, and your skills give them a gorgeous platform to step up on.

Ahh yes I finished watching and Jessica does mention to sand for better adhesion, lol.
@@EmilyMineDesigns only if your cup has been fully cured though (24 hrs+)...not if it's only been 8-12 hours...

@@FlynnSistersBoutique Thank you so much Jessica for getting back to me, appreciate the help 😄🙏
So much good information here!
thank you!
Ahhh Wednesday lunch dates are the best
Very helpful! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. What kind of tumbler turner do you have? I’m having a hard time deciding on what kind to get.
Mine isn't currently available. I have a boan.
Thank you
Thank you! This was very helpful! I received a tumbler as a gift. It had zero instructions for using it, & didn’t come with any cups or epoxy. I was clueless! One question, can these cups go in the dishwasher? Thanks so much!!!
They’re not dishwasher safe 😊
Do you have to clean your cup after you touch it when applying the decal? Or can you just pour the next layer of epoxy?
HI! so glad I found your page. dumb question when you say epoxy you mean just the epoxy hardener or mixed with the clear resin? I just bought my first bottle of epoxy resin
The epoxy used for tumblers comes in 2 parts.. a and b. You mix equal parts of a and b.
I can't figure put how to everyone gets a nice even line around the you edge that you have for the epoxy to seal the cup.🤔
You just sand it
Thanks
Love this girl!! I have watched it a million times!! I have a question. When u get to step 8,the clean up, shud we still wear our respirator? Or can I go into another room and just get it cleaned up?I have developed a bad reaction to the epoxy so I havent been doin much but taking care of my face😂

Loved this
May I have the link to your packaging video, please? Thank you!
I am new and about to start making tumblers, I don’t have a torch but I have a heat gun, can I use that instead?
Yeah that will work!
How do you clean inside a tumbler when the paint + primer get in side while spraying
Acetone and dry eraser then wash with soap and water.
I watched ur video's but i made a mistake today after spraying i realize some parts arent smooth but bulk 😔...i love your work...🇯🇲...ur amazing
How long is the dry time between spray paint before I apply the glitter
It depends on your environment and how heavy of a spray coat you have
Why do the cup fill sticky after the last coat of epoxy
Hi, new watcher here - how do I need a "Vented" space for epoxy cups? Where/how do you vent? and how long does the average cup take you?
What did you spray your tumbler down with in the spray bottle was it acetone or rubbing alcohol?
Water
I was trying to figure out what the name of the company was that you got the arms and turners from can you post it pls
They were from the boan
I'm a beginner. Why do we need to prep the cups? Why can't we just start spray painting on the cup immediately?
to ensure the paint adheres properly to the cup. There is stuff on the surface that needs to be removed first to ensure proper adhesion with your paint. Some people don't prep cups at all and in my experience i just get better results when I do. Especially if you're going to be doing split cup designs and other complicated designs
Hi! Wondering if you had any advice for glittering different items and flexible finishes?
I’m not sure what flexible finishes are... as
Far as other items go, we have a lot of non tumbler projects we’ve done with glitter 🤗
Do you, or do you have to wear a mask or respirator when working with the epoxy? Or does everyone that does this just work outside….? My craft room is upstairs and I have kids in the house and cannot seem to find anyone that discusses anything about where it’s safe to do this or if you have to wear a mask. Anyone who can tell me I’d appreciate it.
I do wear a respirator. You can find the one i use through my amazon link in the description box.

Where do you buy the final sand I watched both of your prep videos and there is no link to the final sand you used can you please provide us with where you purchased the final sand please?
Yes, you can find it at DIYepoxy.com
Thank you sooo much there’s a lot of fake final sands I found on Amazon so I wanted to make sure I get the exact one you use thank you for all the helpful videos I love them all! 💖
How did you let it sit after you put your glitter on ? It was wet, did you keep it on the pole? How!!
I just put it on my rack to dry like upside down. The epoxy is so thin the glitter doesn't move
Thanks for explaining about the rough edges. I am having trouble with getting good coverage at the top rim of my cup. I use a leveler to make sure my cup is level before applying epoxy however I just can’t get good epoxy coverage around the top rim. Any advice?

Definitely not at coat 4 or 5. I’ll start adding more cups. Thanks.
