    Hello! I’ve seen other tutorials for epoxy that will spray the mica layer with alcohol to help break it up more. Is that possible with brite tone?

      Yes you can! You just need to keep it less than 3% of your mix. so just a tiny drop!

    How can we do this as a peekaboo? Glitter underneath but instead of a basic white paint top, a swirled mica top?

    • @AlisonCrafts

    If we don't do a decal, about how many layers of Brite tone before we are done? If it's smooth after 4 layers should it be ok or should I sand and do more?

      over the top of the swirl? 4 is good!

    I have a little space heater near my desk and I turn that on when it's cold. It doesn't blow on the cups, it just makes the air in my work space warmer. Is that a good thing to do? Right now hubs keeps the house at about 68-69 degrees.

    Coming from epoxy so I have a question, could we not use a a heat gun to slightly help the colors move and swirl better?

      No heat with Crystalac it can damage the finish

    Is there a reason to apply bt on top of the mica swirl and then decals? Why not decals on top of this and then final layers of bt?

    • @AlisonCrafts

      well, this cup has no decals so that's probably why but you can add your deals whenever it's smooth.

    Is it ok to lightly sand the mica mix after it has dried 24hrs? I applied just too much product and I scraped some off. This was done at least two hours in from drying, it left a small slope behind where scraped. 🙊. Thank you in advance for your time.
