    I wrap my cups in a warm towel or warm them a bit with my heat gun before applying epoxy. It goes on so smooth.

    • @ThePurpleStitch

      Yes! I notice a difference when I try to apply onto a cold cup., the epoxy is annoyingly thicker when it gets cold!

    I have a single wood turner and I like to leave my cup on the turner as it spins and I move the whole turner up and down while I manipulate it. I've gotten some pretty cool swirls. I love your creations and the first time I used black i over did it 😂 im still a rookie but I learned my lesson

      Some pigment seems to like to float on top. I don’t know that any of them are supposed to actually be different types, but it definitely seems like each brand works a little differently.

    Is there a way to fix dry spots by putting another coat of epoxy without having to strip the cup? I did a fire tumbler and it looks great except one section on the bottom part has yellow circles where everything separated and it’s dry.

    • @ThePurpleStitch

      I actually just tap it with a little extra Apoxsee on my finger. I may not have done it in this video but I’ve definitely done it in lots of others and it almost always looks just fine. Sometimes it needs to be rubbed because there’s an oily spot.

    • @ThePurpleStitch
      @ThePurpleStitch  5 років тому

      Just make sure your epoxy cures completely and that the epoxy you’re using is FDA compliant and you’ll be good! If your cups are tacky or sticky, then they’ll need to be stripped and redone. Otherwise, I cured epoxy could cause some people to have a reaction of some sort. 🙂

    This is absolutely amazing. I really love it. I am going to make this for a friend who is in the oil field. But his favorite color is blue. So if I wanted to add more blue to it at what step would I do that? I really love this!

      You can just swap out some of the black or white drops for blue when adding the inks.

    what causes the tumblers to be sticky after a couple daysbof drying im having trouble with cups being sticky to the touch ?

    • @ThePurpleStitch
      @ThePurpleStitch  2 роки тому +1

      There can be a few reasons. Sometimes the mix ratio is off enough that it prevents a full cure. But for me, it’s usually temps or humidity. I have a shop light nearby to make sure it stays warmer in that area when the temps drop.

      also how much for the last coat of epoxy

    • @ThePurpleStitch
      @ThePurpleStitch  5 років тому +1

      For the swirling you need enough to get movement. For the final coat you just need enough to get a good layer. So I usually start with 5-10 ml over whatever the ounce of the cup is. But I don’t put it all on at the beginning. So on a 20, I will typically mix up 25-30. But I only put about 20 on at first. I get an idea of how much movement I’ll get and add more if it isn’t thick enough. For final coat I’d say maybe 10 on a 20 ounce. More only if I need to even out any waves left in my swirling after it cured. Hope that makes sense!

      Any type of mask that is rated to block out fumes. Once epoxy is heated some people have allergic reactions, myself included. Some people even have to wear respirator masks without any kind of heat involved. Sam have reactions with just mixing the epoxy in general.

      hmm 🤔 .....had the epoxy been mixed either too long prior or mixed for too long? Both of those can cause it to cure too fast. Do you have a heat gun or any sort? That’s how I get mine to move. I do get “dry spots” frequently and have to literally touch them up by dabbing epoxy onto those areas.
