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.
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?
Hi love yah work but have you tried a smoothie straw the opening is a lot bigger so you won't get so light headed! Just thought of that when I was watching your video..beautiful work on the cup!
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.
Epoxy free.... Have a question for sealing temp tattoos, powder glow in the dark and glitter. Is there a sealent I can use that's not spray and I don't have to wait 24-48 hours
hehe i love seeing your comments!! I was a little thrown off... I just hopped on this morning and realized it published like at midnight instead of my usual 9 am 😂 💁
Thank you so much im so glad I subscribed to you i have just broke my foot so will have lots of time on my hands..waiting on brite tone to arrive i live in canada just recieved my tumbler turner have glitter lol hopefully I i need for now awaiting fracture clinic appt Monday...yay me
I just may have to try this 😅 I have a TON of powders ❤
Yes, do it! So easy!
@@AlisonCrafts I bought a cup turner and it seems like it turns so slow but maybe that's good for my first time trying 🤔 🤪
How can we do this as a peekaboo? Glitter underneath but instead of a basic white paint top, a swirled mica top?
yeah you can do that! you would put vinyl down and then do the swirled mica
Do u have to put glitter on before the powders?
How long did u let the glitter dry? 4 hours?
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?
Was this glitter already sanded and covered in Brite Tone before you added the colors?
Yes, it was completely smooth!
Thank you! So excited to try and achieve this 💜
Thank you for asking that. It was my question as well.

Yes that's a good idea!

over the top of the swirl? 4 is good!

Good idea!! I'll have to try it!
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?
well, this cup has no decals so that's probably why but you can add your deals whenever it's smooth.
Do you have any videos on timber designs that don’t require glitter?
I have a few! Here is one i did: ua-cam.com/video/0TFsFg6vjC0/v-deo.html
Just a quick ? How long after you finish it do you mail it?
5 Days!
Love the cup and the techniques. Do you have any plans for a milky way tumbler? I'd really love to see how you do those.
Will go live next week 😜

I'm not sure how it will look but you could try!
I sure did try! She looks brand new again. 💗. Thank you Allison.
Hi! Could you use acyclic paint instead of mica powders? I haven’t found any info on that. Thank you in advance! Bye i love your Videos. 😊
Yes you can! You just need to keep it less than 3% of your mix. so just a tiny drop!
@@AlisonCrafts thank you for answering!

You don't need to seal temporary tattoos and you can seal glitter with E6000 pump spray! Only needs a few hours to dry. amzn.to/2ZdYAYH
@@AlisonCrafts okay thank you so much. And what about glow in the dark powder?
Hi can I put crystalac over epoxy?!
Yes as long as your epoxy is fully cured. This can take up to 30 days.
Where can I buy crystals brute tone ?
Crystalac brite tone
I’m making keychains, any tips on making the bubbles go away?? Thanks
you're probably doing your coats too thick!! but you can sand it down and do some more layers! try goin thinner
@@AlisonCrafts yea I will definitely do that! It’s just hard to mix small amounts with mica :-/
With brite tone can you save any unused mixes?
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
@@AlisonCrafts okay, thanks!

Can you use EP instead of bright tone with the micas?
Yep!
Do I have to have glitter on a cup to use mica powders
No you don't
Thank you
Here we go!!!! I'm SUPER excited-I think my heart skipped a beat :)
