Finally, a thorough, easy to follow tutorial! Thank you!! I have been making tumblers using epoxy.. I'm on oxygen and have lung & other health issues. Even though my craft room is not in a place where people or pets live & I use proper PPE and ventilation.. I still worry non-stop about how toxic and hazardous epoxy is to me, my kids and pets health. I have been wanting to try Crystalac for some time now, but I haven't because: 1. I wasn't quite sure how to, but thanks to you, I do now. 2. It seems like a lot of extra work and very time consuming. . My question is, how long does it take you to make a cup, start to finish? Also, how many tumblers (let's say 30oz skinny) can you make with 1QT of brite tone and other supplies needed. I really want to feel confident that I will know what I'm doing and have an idea of how much it costs to use CrystaLac products. Sorry for asking so many questions and if what I said doesn't make sense. Definitely subscribing!
I just ordered my first quart of bright tone!! I'm SOOOO excited!! I did 2 cups with epoxy. Stripped one. What a nightmare. Re-glittered it but haven't epoxied it yet because I don't have a turner and the thought of hand turning if for 4 hours AGAIN makes me ill. I'll turn my Crystalac cups for an hour!! No problem!! *insert cheesy grin and childish giggles* I didn't even make it 1/2 way thru the 16oz box of epoxy before I decided I was D.O.N.E. done with it! Maybe I'll make a paperweight with the rest lol.
Thanks for posting! I was going to get into epoxy..but then I ran into a video saying how bad it is for you. I felt very discouraged because I didn’t want to poison my family. So I googled alternative to epoxy and I ran into your blog! Thank you for making these videos. I don’t feel afraid anymore. I can’t wait to try out the product!!
Your comment saved me from diving directly into epoxy and buying crystalac instead. I didn’t realize it was so harsh on the lungs. I just got this product today so I’m looking forward to using it too! I know this is 10mo late but thank you and to this channel for having an alternative!

Hola saludos desde Costa Rica, voy a hacer mi primer vaso térmico y este tutorial me va a servir mucho, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos! 🙋🏼♀️✨🇨🇷✨🌷
Just starting out. Planning on ordering the CrystaLac. But wanedt to verify that I am understanding correctly. Prep cup let dry, brush on bright tone apply glitter let dry 4 hours, seal with E6000 spray let dry one hour Roll in parchment, repeat with E6000 two more times letting dry 1 hour between Bright one about 3ml for 20 oz spin for at least one hour thendo 4 more coats letting dry 4 hours between and then apply bright tone, sand, rinse and do this three times lettingdry 4 hours between each wait 30 days to harden?
I’m a tumbler wholesaler in china we are having hot selling 20oz sublimation skinny tumbler or straight tumbler the moq is 50pcs and the packing is white box the delivery time in general is 30-45 day.
I have a question I have a friend that wanted white tumbler I did a waterslide I sealed it waited put a coat of brite tone I’ve done 3 coats it has streaks of brite tone tumbler doesn’t have glitter so when this dries I can sand and put 3 more coats
Hi Alison this is the first I'm doing the crystalac method for glitter tumblers. You mentioned you can apply a coat of write tone by finger or brush, just wondering what type of brush can be used and if its a regular type paint brush will the crystalc clean off the brush with water?
Beautiful! I'm just attempting my QST tumbler and need to do a 2nd layer of glitter. What is the best way to do that? I'm using Bright Tone and have E6000 spray. Thanks in advance!
This video is extremely helpful. I’m making the switch from epoxy. Question though, if I need a second coat of glitter do I still need to seal the glitter with e6000 then go over with BT and glitter again, then seal again?
Allison, Thank you so much for making all of these videos. It has helped me quite a bit. I was wondering if I might be able to email you for a few questions I have.
Would it be wrong for me to want to have a no refund policy on glitter tumblers? The reason I want to do this is because if people don't follow the care instructions and because they didn't follow the care instructions something happens to the tumbler. I don't feel I should have to replace the tumbler because they didn't follow the care instructions.
About how many 20 oz skinnies could I do with a pint of BT? Also, can I use the Pure White Flip'n Awesome? They don't really have many colors to choose from.
Thank you for this video! I just purchased my first tub of Brite Tone and am truly excited to get started with it! If you have time, could you please let me know the difference between the Brite Tone and the Extreme Protection? I want to be sure my cups are long lasting. :-)
They're both clear top coats that are strong and non-yellowing. The brite tone has higher solids , so it's harder and shiner when cured! I dont usually use EP at all for my glitter cups anymore but you can use it for the first several layers if you want because it's cheaper! but since it doesn't have as many solids as the BT, it will take more coats to get a smooth finish. that's why i just stick with brite tone - so i can get my cups finished faster!
@@AlisonCrafts Sorry one more question. I don't glitter my cups I mostly paint. Do you have advice on how many layers it might take for just a flat surface? Thank you for your help!
Hey yall! I'm new to the world of tumblers At what point do I add my vinyl decal, and how many more coats of crystalac do I need to make it completely smooth.
Love this tutorial. Question if I’m not using glitter just spray paint the tumbler white once it dry for 4hrs layer with brite tone? But if I’m adding a waterslide would seal that again ? So using brite or do it after I add the waterslide or decal?
Hello it’s me again. Thank you so much for your help. I just have a couple questions. As I mentioned I am just beginning and I started gathering materials. I watched several videos and I’m just wanting to make sure that the materials I got but would work with a Crystalac. For example I got the Loctite adhesive for my glitter, No rust oleum spray paint for my base coat color, And polycrylic to seal my glitter. Will these items work?
Hi Alison, can you please tell me if you are able to put rhinestone crystals on the cup and underneath that last coat? Or would you recommend putting the stones on top of the last coat?
So excited to find a resin alternative. I hate the stickiness and messiness of resin. Thank you! Can acrylic paint be used as a base coat? If so, is there still a 48 hour wait time. If you answered this already, I apologize. Thanks!
Acrylic paint is not suitable as a base. It doesn't have adhesion properties or rust inhibitors! You'll want to have a primer first for sure - either the universal white or spray paint. you can paint acrylic over that. it does need at least 24 hours to dry because it just dries super slowly!
@@AlisonCrafts I made my first tumbler with Crystalac and I LOVE it. One more question, can I switch to Crystalac if I have already started it with resin? Thank you!
I apply right onto my E6000. So after my first glitter layer dries, i spray on E6000 and then add more to that. Let that dry and continue with the flattening process.
How do I go about it if I don't do a glitter base? I made some tumblers from mother's day gifts this last year while I was new to my cricut. But now I want to seal them for my mom and mother-in-law. Can I just use the layers of crystalac? Or do I have to somehow prep my tumbler with the vinyl already applied? Thank you for all the information! I'm excited to start doing tumblers with my cricut!
Late to the party but atleast I made it right? Tried my first tumbler... glittered it (witch I'm struggling with and idk why??) I can't get the the brite tone to even out. It looks bumpy even after sanding. Should I sand more? Is it the glitter? Is it both? It's my first one but I don't want to begin "ruining" cups.
Great tutorial, have you tried the mini heater to dry that I've been seeing on TT? It's for epoxy cups but wondered if Crystalac would react similar? Off to watch more videos!
As far as I have been told from the CrystaLac owners, heat is a no no! The only source of heat would be a 60W light bulb about 12 inches away from the cup! If you see another video on TT, can you tag me?? i'd love to check it out. I'm @alison.crafts_
Hi great videos super helpful! Question if you want to add a quarter or half inch border to the top of tumbler, do you use electrical tape and how soon after you coat it with brite tone do you remove your tape?
You an add your vinyl once the surface is smooth. I usually seal it with about 6 coats on top but since it's permanent it's up to you if you want to seal it!
I spray or brush on my E6000 and let it spin for an hour. Then i roll in parchment paper. Then i just let it hang out on my drying rack for another hour or two before BT!
Hello Alisson. I finally got my materials to use brite tone! I have one question before I start. Do you need a torch to pop bubbles when it comes to brite tone?
Im currently switching from epoxy to crystalac. I have three cups I've already glittered and sealed with rustoleum 2x ultra cover semi gloss clear. I was waiting to get my crystalac so i can use that. My question is if I can use the crystalac even though i already sealed with rustoleum? Thanks!
Hello! Love your videos! Question, can I just add glitter to the stainless steel tumbler without painting it first? Will it make a huge difference? And can I use loctite spray to put my glitter on? And then use the BT for every layer after that. Sorry but exactly is the E6000 used for?
Basecoating is best to prevent rust spots. You can use loctite but it needs to dry 48 hours before BT! E6000 is used to seal and flatten the glitter so the glitter doesn't move and it cuts down on BT layers
I need help, I have no idea what I may be doing wrong.. I put in the brite tone just line u did, but it comes out uneven... I'm so disappointed I can't get it to work right
Yes they sell the sanding stuff! Here is the link to brite tone: thecrystalacstore.com/collections/clear-top-coats/products/brite-tone-instrument-finish?sca_ref=301559.RjXXsfrXmN

Do you have these steps written anywhere? I like to tax it in my craft space for easy reference.
What are the equipment that you need to do the tumblers
Can you do a tutorial for a tumbler without glitter and adding a decal/vinyl? Can we use the flip’n awesome paint only then seal with Brite tone?
Yes and yes!
Thank you for your tutorials! Have you tried Triple Thick to seal instead of Brite Tone? If so, which do you prefer?
Hi Alison this is the first I'm doing the crystalac method for glitter tumblers. You mentioned you can apply a coat of write tone by finger or brush, just wondering what type of brush can be used and if its a regular type paint brush will the crystalc clean off the brush with water?

I bought the crystalac glitter glue what step would I use that for?
I always have my ceiling fan on in my craftroom...do I need to turn it off when using Crystalac on my tumblers

What the spinning does ?
If we have to repeat the glitter process again is there any other steps we should pay close attention to?
Allison, Thank you so much for making all of these videos. It has helped me quite a bit. I was wondering if I might be able to email you for a few questions I have.
Yes! My email is Alison@alisonsullivan.co
Can you do a live for making a tumbler for beginners
I am confused sorry when you add glitter before you add Brite tone no glue?
Would it be wrong for me to want to have a no refund policy on glitter tumblers? The reason I want to do this is because if people don't follow the care instructions and because they didn't follow the care instructions something happens to the tumbler. I don't feel I should have to replace the tumbler because they didn't follow the care instructions.
So do you apply decals to the sanded and rinsed layer or do you add an additional coat first?
Either Way. You can apply it to a sanded surface but it's not required.
WhT GLITTER IS THAT? Love it!!
It's called nebula from www.creepsakesshop.com!!
So after I put on a decal what can i seal it with to protect it? Thank you
Brite Tone :)
I thought the E6000 is toxic. I keep seeing it used with glitter for crystalac .
Can acrylic paint be added to the universal white for the base coat? Thanks!
About how many 20 oz skinnies could I do with a pint of BT? Also, can I use the Pure White Flip'n Awesome? They don't really have many colors to choose from.
Can we use mod podge acrylic spray as a sealant? Or if we use glitter glue, do we not need to seal?

@@ginadephillips9717 we recommend minimum 6 coats for protection!
What kind of note do you put with your tumblers for customer care?
I have a care card with care instructions and a thank you card!
Hey yall! I'm new to the world of tumblers
At what point do I add my vinyl decal, and how many more coats of crystalac do I need to make it completely smooth.
Whenever it's smooth you can add your vinyl. Usually about 6 coats over the vinyl for me.
@@AlisonCrafts do u have to do the sand every 3 coats AFTER the decal is on as well?
What kind of glitter is that?
Hi! You can use whatever acrylic paint?
Not as a base coat no.
Can tumblers be shipped after 5 days? Will packing materials stick to them or should you wait longer to ship?
I want to make my own tumblers but I can’t do the smell.
I definitely recommend crystalac products. They’re non toxic and very very low odor if any at all!
Love this tutorial. Question if I’m not using glitter just spray paint the tumbler white once it dry for 4hrs layer with brite tone? But if I’m adding a waterslide would seal that again ? So using brite or do it after I add the waterslide or decal?
Spray paint, wait 48 hours, 3 coats of brite tone (wait 4 hours before recoating), add waterslide, continue coats of brite tone
Does crystalac yellow eventually? I know some epoxys have the tendency to yellow eventually?
Do we do same steps for a plastic reusable cup??

I am confused sorry… do you just wash it with dawn then apply the paint?? Or did u use sand paper still..
After sanding i rinse with water to get the dust off...no soap.
Hi Alison, can you please tell me if you are able to put rhinestone crystals on the cup and underneath that last coat? Or would you recommend putting the stones on top of the last coat?

Great tutorial, have you tried the mini heater to dry that I've been seeing on TT? It's for epoxy cups but wondered if Crystalac would react similar? Off to watch more videos!

Hi great videos super helpful! Question if you want to add a quarter or half inch border to the top of tumbler, do you use electrical tape and how soon after you coat it with brite tone do you remove your tape?
If you want to tape the edge i would remove and replace every 3 coats.
Maybe I’m over looking but do you add vinyl between britetone or just on top
you can add vinyl once it is smooth. I generally add brite tone over the vinyl too
@@AlisonCrafts i took a shot I the dark add my vinyl after the 3rd sanding
Hello. I want to put vinyl (either permanent or printable) on my mug. Do i put it at the very end and do i seal it?
You an add your vinyl once the surface is smooth. I usually seal it with about 6 coats on top but since it's permanent it's up to you if you want to seal it!
Can you use acrylic paint with brite tone
you can mix it in as long as it's less than 3% of the volume
I have tumblers that have like a powder coating on them. Can i sand those to smooth and then do the same steps as if it was stainless?
Those need to be stripped first
After you e6000 and roll in parchment paper 3xs how long do you let it spin before applying bt?
I spray or brush on my E6000 and let it spin for an hour. Then i roll in parchment paper. Then i just let it hang out on my drying rack for another hour or two before BT!

Hello Alisson. I finally got my materials to use brite tone! I have one question before I start. Do you need a torch to pop bubbles when it comes to brite tone?
No. no heat! you shouldn't have an issue with bubbles. if you do, you're likely putting your coats on too thick!
@@AlisonCrafts thank you!
Do you have to do all these steps if you are not putting a decal on
You can just keep doing your coats until you’re happy with it !
Quick question, after smooth and add the decal, how many more layers of brite tone?
just however many it takes to cover the vinyl! I usually do 3 coats, give it a sand right over the vinyl only, and then do 3-4 more!
Im currently switching from epoxy to crystalac. I have three cups I've already glittered and sealed with rustoleum 2x ultra cover semi gloss clear. I was waiting to get my crystalac so i can use that. My question is if I can use the crystalac even though i already sealed with rustoleum? Thanks!
Totally! As long as the spray paint has had 48 hours to dry its all good!
Hello..I used spraypaint let dry. N then used acetone to do a dirty look...how long do I wait to u use.the brite tone
Spray paint needs 48 hours to dry!
Hello! Love your videos! Question, can I just add glitter to the stainless steel tumbler without painting it first? Will it make a huge difference? And can I use loctite spray to put my glitter on? And then use the BT for every layer after that. Sorry but exactly is the E6000 used for?
Basecoating is best to prevent rust spots. You can use loctite but it needs to dry 48 hours before BT! E6000 is used to seal and flatten the glitter so the glitter doesn't move and it cuts down on BT layers
hi,, question, what if some don't have a tumbler turner? do we need it to have some spinner to add the BT?
No you don't need a turner!
@@AlisonCrafts good to hear, i haven't built mines yet. Lol thanks

how are you applying? are you talking about just the brite tone or the glitter?
Is the crstalic brite tone the same as the topcoat? Does crystalac sell the sanding block and sand pad?

yes you can, it just needs 48 hours to dry! I actually prefer the glitter glue now !
Can you place your vinyl decal before adding final coats of brite tone? So as to encase the decal in if that makes sense
Yes, once the surface is smooth, add your vinyl. Then do a few coats of BT on top!
@@AlisonCrafts thanks so much! Also, can I use loctite spray adhesive and sealer vs e6000?

Do we have to add mod podge or can I add cl after spray paint dried
@@AlisonCrafts wait 48 after modpodge/x6000 before crystalac? I waited over night... 😰
Can you do this with fabric??
Yes you can use fabric. here is a tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/CNqy4SbjpYc/v-deo.html
I saw ur other video when u used the glitter glue to apply glitter. Would I still need to use the E6000 method if I’m using glitter glue?
Nope, you don't need E6000 anymore!
Where do you get the extra turner arms? I only have one and it's screwed into my turner?
the ones i got are not available but I think these will work! amzn.to/2Sfiql6
