    This tumbler (and your tutorial) is amazing! I'm obsessed with the tumbler design! I found a honeycomb design on your etsy page but I'm wondering how you made the honeycombs on this tutorial - they look amazing - is it a leopard print inside the individual honeycomb? Did you do a peekaboo to get that effect?
    You are so talented - please please makes more tutorials on your tumblers - especially this one!

    • @LovelyLouLouDesigns
      @LovelyLouLouDesigns  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so much! You are completely correct in that it is a peek-a-boo for the honeycomb. The chunky glitter mix in the centre band is under the top section of the tumbler as well. I used the honeycomb design in my Etsy shop to make the peek-a-boo cut outs. This is a tutorial I have had a lot of requests for. I took an extended break last year but am getting back into tutorials now so I will be making one for this tumbler as well. 🙂

    Just making sure I heard right. Do you double the amount of epoxy for the flood coat?

    • @LovelyLouLouDesigns
      @LovelyLouLouDesigns  2 роки тому

      I don't double, but I do mix up a bit more. So if I usually mix 10 ml for a 20 oz, I will mix 15 ml for the flood coat. If I waiting a bit longer it isn't as sticky, mixing the regular amount is fine

    Very helpful video, thank you! I have a question about excess epoxy getting inside the tumbler... You mentioned cleaning the rim of the tumbler, but it looks like there is a chance that epoxy would get further into the cup, how do you clean or prevent? Thank you!

    • @LovelyLouLouDesigns
      @LovelyLouLouDesigns  3 роки тому

      I don't usually have an issues with epoxy dripping too far down into the tumbler. When I'm doing last coat I will use acetone on a Q-tip to make sure my room is clean. If anything does drip inside, since the tumblers aren't prepped inside, the epoxy pops off easily. I will usually use an exacto knife and just pop it off in one piece.

    • @LovelyLouLouDesigns

      The epoxy is still wet when I do the acetone. I'm just going over the rim and inside. since it's still wet it will seal, harden and cure.

    • @EmilyMineDesigns
      @EmilyMineDesigns 4 роки тому +1

      You will want to use a new cup. Your parts need to be exact and using the same cup could cause your ratios to be off. Also, after 2 hours and 45 minutes, the epoxy left in that first mixing cup would be very sticky.
