I’ve tried my first water slide on white glitter and it turned out but after I put epoxy on my clear portion of the water slide had turned a yellow tint. Have you had any issues like this, and how could I prevent it
You are so very welcome. I absolutely LOVE wateslides!! If you happen to follow my facebook business page, feel free to share a photo of how your cup turns out with the waterslide. I'd love to see it!
I am so new to this and when I go to find I’m out in left field ! Can you please send me the name of the water slide I can order from. Leahq3@gmail.com
Hi!!! What kind of printer did you use?? I am stuck between an inkjet and a laser printer. I would only be using it for printable vinyl, and waterslides.
This is so great!!! I have a question, ones you put the decal on the tumbler and pass pass the resin on top those it shows part of the paper from the decal?
Shawna Tshiboyi Yay you saw my comment ❤️ So sweet of you to reply 😊 I understand how crazy things can be at home with kiddos, glad to hear you are well ❤️❤️ Will be purchasing some decals for my first tumbler I’ll be doing 😬😊 God bless 🥰❤️
your work is beautiful!!! there is many water slide paper under that Etsy shop. Which one is the paper you using for the floral decal? Also, it is just for the laser ?I really appreciate your answer. thank you!
My waterslides are all ready to use & don't need sealing. If you are making your own, you will still need to seal the waterslide if you are using an inkjet printer. Regardless of which way you apply the waterslide, you will still need to do a final coat of epoxy on the cup after the waterslide dries.
Hello i have a questionnaires about waterslide i am dutch so sorry for my spellen i used iT and the transparant decal take the color of my cup how can that be Thanks is that my decal or whats happend
Great little tutorial! And I've also heard that doing the application the way you showed, will also minimize any cracking on the decal. Anyway -- loved the floral decal you used, but I was unable to locate it in your Etsy shop. Are they still available? Thanks in advance. =)
Thank you for your video. Two questions: first, can you sand the epoxy under the waterslide or will it show through, and if you do not sand, will the epoxy repel? and two - my waterslide paper seems to have an adhesive type film on the back side. If I flip it will that adhesive side interact adversely with the epoxy? Thanks again!
Good evening. Don't sand under the epoxy without adding a layer of adhesive or gloss sealer before applying the decal(the dullness will show otherwise under the clear waterslide). All the waterslide i have used doesn't have actual adhesive on them. It has an adhesive residue that held the paper backing to the waterslide ( that may feel slick, but washes away in the water during application), but there is not adhesive that holds the waterslide to the object it is applied too. That's why they aren't permanent on their own and need to be baked or epoxied over. I have never had issues with the epoxy regardless of how i have applied my waterslide.
Hi everyone, can I get some help? :/ I am having massive printing issues. My printer leaves scratch marks all the time and sometimes the print is totally unusable. My printer back feed uses wheels that make contact with the ink on the paper and leave marks, and my front feed keeps bumping into curved or elevated surfaces on the paper, scratching the ink. Does anyone know how this can be solved? Many thanks in advance :)
It is waterslide paper. The waterslide decals ordered from www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com are ready to apply upon receipt. They do need to have a layer of epoxy over the glitter cups once applied to make them permanent
The coloring will be the same regardless of how it's applied. Clear waterslide images are printed on transparent film so the coloring will be less vibrant when taken off the white backing. It does get darker if you layer 2 waterslide images on eachother.
I know this question is 2 years old but for anyone asking, I found this rubber spatula brush in the beauty section of my local Dollar Tree, sold as a face mask applicator.
Below you state that any waterslide paper will work, however, there is an adhesive on the waterslides, so I don't understand how the "backwards" method works?
There isn't adhesive on the waterslide itself after it releases from the backing. The slippery feel left on the backing is what holds the waterslide to the backing itself. the water activates the adhesive on the backing releasing the waterslide from the backing, but isn't actually on the waterside itself. That's why a waterslide isn't permanent without a layer of epoxy or being baked on (like a ceramic cup or dish). Drop a piece of waterslide in water and feel both sides when it releases from the backing to see what I mean.
If they are ordered from me, they won't need to be sealed either way they are applied. If you are printing your own on an inkjet they will need to be sealed regardless of how they are applied
@@rachelfreiheit7087 i would try a different waterslide paper if they are ones you are making yourself. I get a wrinkle here and there but have been able to get them pretty smooth with the silicone squeegee
Waterslide doesn't use glue. It's similar to. Window cling. The epoxy makes it permanent, or baking it for a length of time at a certain temp (depending on brand).
The paper itself us clear. In traditional white paper, the white that shows is blank paper (no ink because printers don't print in white). When a clear paper is used, all white areas will be clear because of the clear paper showing through
I’m new to this and have never done a water slide. This looks so easy. Thank you for sharing!!!
Beautiful! How do you seal the waterslide?
I’ve tried my first water slide on white glitter and it turned out but after I put epoxy on my clear portion of the water slide had turned a yellow tint. Have you had any issues like this, and how could I prevent it
So glad I found your video today, I was just fixing to do my 1st waterslide and you now have a new subscriber.
OMG!! I tried this method and I love, love, love it. Thank you for making this video.
Cathy Fannin i want to put a decal on a cookie jar. Do u have to epoxy it after? Or is it permanent if u do it like she did in this tutorial?
These are beautiful... That flower image is hot!!
I'm just starting to look into doing waterslides. This looks super easy! Love it! Can't wait to get some and try it!
Was having problems. Thank you!!!
So glad I found this video today! I messed up 3 sheets of water slide last night 😩
I want to order from you, how do I do it. Plus can I apply right on a steel tumbler.
Love this cup!
I love this!! Thanks for sharing. I just ordered my first pack of waterslide paper to try on my tumblers.
You are so very welcome. I absolutely LOVE wateslides!! If you happen to follow my facebook business page, feel free to share a photo of how your cup turns out with the waterslide. I'd love to see it!

@@glittergiftsandmore2493 do you seal the water slide after applying? Thank you for a great tutorial.
Hi!!! What kind of printer did you use?? I am stuck between an inkjet and a laser printer. I would only be using it for printable vinyl, and waterslides.
Following !!
This is so great!!! I have a question, ones you put the decal on the tumbler and pass pass the resin on top those it shows part of the paper from the decal?
Hey Shawna! Hope you are well!! I miss your content 😩 I’m just rewatching all your old videos 😊 Hope to see some tutorials soon ❤️😊🤗
Thank you!!!! I will definitely get logging on again soon. Trying to find the balance between kiddos, work and recording.
Shawna Tshiboyi Yay you saw my comment ❤️ So sweet of you to reply 😊 I understand how crazy things can be at home with kiddos, glad to hear you are well ❤️❤️ Will be purchasing some decals for my first tumbler I’ll be doing 😬😊 God bless 🥰❤️
So if you are printing them at home would you still have to add a few clear coats if you aren't using a laser printer?
That's my same question
Same question.
I found another tutorial and yes you do!!
Woww thank you for this tip 😁🥰
your work is beautiful!!! there is many water slide paper under that Etsy shop. Which one is the paper you using for the floral decal? Also, it is just for the laser ?I really appreciate your answer. thank you!
Which brand of water slide paper is that? And that cup is beautiful!
You have just made my life easier. :)
How do you seal the ink side? What do you use? Do you have a video for that?
None of my waterslides need to be sealed. Www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com
Looks a lot easier
Do you seal the cup after you add the waterslide? Would I need to do a layer of epoxy?
Yes on the epoxy
What company did you use for the water slide decal paper?
How do you get it to stay on. I have the issue of the print washing off even after i bake it to seal it.
What printer did u use to print the decal ?
do you print your own?
or do they come printed? is it different ink if it is?
Thank you for sharing!
Can I ask what white glitter that is?
Absolutely! Opulent opal glittergiftsandmore.com
@@glittergiftsandmore2493 thank you ❤️
What brand waterslide paper is this? That is so cool
I would like to know what paper as well😊
@@amybaltrusis3953 Did you find out what waterslide paper she used?
Did anyone find out which waterslide paper this is ?
Diana Martinez I have not 😞
I’d like to know as well.
If I print my own water slide decal and want to apply it this way do I still prep it with an acrylic clear coat or will that prevent it from sticking?
I would presume so since the clear coat prevents the ink from running.
Would you still seal the waterslide doing it face down like that?
My waterslide decals don't need sealing one way or the other....they still do need epoxy tho
My waterslides are all ready to use & don't need sealing. If you are making your own, you will still need to seal the waterslide if you are using an inkjet printer. Regardless of which way you apply the waterslide, you will still need to do a final coat of epoxy on the cup after the waterslide dries.
Thank you! Does this method also work for white waterslide paper or just clear?
F
Wow just wow
I just tried it messing around and it was unreal easier for me
I don't have a cricut or printer and/ or whatever I would need to do vinyl or water decals. I'm a brand newbie.
So do you have to seal it ahead of time still
Did you find out your answer?
do use have to seal laser waterslides
What kind of paper you use
Hello i have a questionnaires about waterslide i am dutch so sorry for my spellen i used iT and the transparant decal take the color of my cup how can that be
Thanks is that my decal or whats happend
Can you use any inkjet printer to make these water slides?
Can u pls tell me the name of the company that sells that peper?! ! And thank u for the video! Love ur work ❤️
yoguie0202 amazon
Very pretty, can you actually see the edges of the decal?
Nope
Where you get the paper did you deal with epoxy?
Hi, love this way! I am interested in ordering your decals images. Are they laser or inkjet printed?
They are laser
What company?
Www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com
Hi how do I order this easy decals
What if your doing a picture would you still need to print mirror image?
if there aren't any words, there isn't a need to mirror. I apply them either way without mirroring when wording isn't involved.
Loved this process.....where did you purchase the white glitter?
Www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com its opulent opal
@@glittergiftsandmore2493 amazing thank you for the quick reply. I am a new subscriber ♥️
@@melissaann79 thank you
Can you water slide on a Pink tumbler?
Great little tutorial! And I've also heard that doing the application the way you showed, will also minimize any cracking on the decal. Anyway -- loved the floral decal you used, but I was unable to locate it in your Etsy shop. Are they still available? Thanks in advance. =)
What paper is this ? I have water slide spin it paper
Is water slide only meant for light color tumblers?
Clear waterslide works best on light colored glitter.
Does it work this way with any paper or just the paper from that company?
In my experience, it hasn't mattered the brand as long as it's clear.
Where did you get the brush?
Thank you for your video. Two questions: first, can you sand the epoxy under the waterslide or will it show through, and if you do not sand, will the epoxy repel? and two - my waterslide paper seems to have an adhesive type film on the back side.

@@glittergiftsandmore2493 Thank you!
What is the name of the paper you r using for the waterslides
What printer do you use
Do you then apply another coat of epoxy over the water slide decal
Always
Can you use a canon printer
are the waterslides printed with laser printer? thanks
How long do you wait to epoxy after applying the water slide?
Usually overnight

Is it special paper? Do you need to cure decal first before applying?
It is waterslide paper. The waterslide decals ordered from www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com are ready to apply upon receipt. They do need to have a layer of epoxy over the glitter cups once applied to make them permanent
Its like tatto false?
Do you have any dog water slides or would you have to special make one.?
what is that glitter called and where is it from?
Opulent opal www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com
Can u get your waterslides in a sticker book .If u can have to u do it . I have not seen it in your video
Does this work with an inkjet printer?
yes. there is inkjet water side paper
Is the color less vibrant because your sliding it off that way?
The coloring will be the same regardless of how it's applied. Clear waterslide images are printed on transparent film so the coloring will be less vibrant when taken off the white backing. It does get darker if you layer 2 waterslide images on eachother.
So does this only work with this specific type of waterslide? Or any waterslide paper would do this?
Any should.
@@glittergiftsandmore2493 Thank you! One last question! Do you still need to spray with clear coat? If so which side?
@@hayleighwittal882 if you use inkjet waterslide you will have to seal the ink side no matter how you apply it. The ink will run otherwise.
Will this work with white waterslide or just clear??
Just clear
do you have a link to this design of waterslide decal? I really like the floral
Www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com
@@glittergiftsandmore2493 Do you sell these kinds of waterslides
Where did you purchase your little brush?
They sell them on Amazon. I’ve also seen them at my local dollar tree. It’s a silicone spatula style brush.
I know this question is 2 years old but for anyone asking, I found this rubber spatula brush in the beauty section of my local Dollar Tree, sold as a face mask applicator.
Below you state that any waterslide paper will work, however, there is an adhesive on the waterslides, so I don't understand how the "backwards" method works?

Drop a piece of waterslide in water and feel both sides when it releases from the backing to see what I mean.
Thanks for clarifying, I was told this in a FB group! Guess the “pros” don’t always know everything! 😁
Do you need inkjet printer?
Mine faded a little and I didn’t know how to get it off I’m watching this for tips
just wondering, how do you cure waterslide on tumblers without epoxy or do you need epoxy to seal it?
I only ever use them with epoxy. I have heard they can be baked on as well, but i have no experience going that route
what printer do I need to make these??
In the video she uses a laser printer. I think she said (in another video) she get them printed out at a Staples type store
When you mirror the water slide do you still have to spray it with the acrylic spray, because the side that is sprayed is now face down on the cup?
If they are ordered from me, they won't need to be sealed either way they are applied. If you are printing your own on an inkjet they will need to be sealed regardless of how they are applied
How can I order from you?
www.withlovefromvinyl.etsy.com
I tried a few different decals and I keep getting wrinkles in the paper, any tips?
Did you try with the silicone squeegee?
Shawna Tshiboyi yes I tried that as well.
@@rachelfreiheit7087 i would try a different waterslide paper if they are ones you are making yourself. I get a wrinkle here and there but have been able to get them pretty smooth with the silicone squeegee
Shawna Tshiboyi I purchased them online! I'll purchase one of yours!! Do you by chance have that pretty floral one in this video 😍
How secure are the slides , how long do they last ..
Another layer of epoxy is added after the waterslide dries, so they aren't exposed to the wear and tear of use.
Isn't the glue on the back of the paper ?
Waterslide doesn't use glue. It's similar to. Window cling. The epoxy makes it permanent, or baking it for a length of time at a certain temp (depending on brand).
Just tried this.. does not work with White waterslide 😹🤦🏻♀️ total newbie, this was my first waterslide.
Ami Myers Same girl 😭
I’m trying to understand how anything without color ends up clear?! This is so different then applying a traditional decal.
The paper itself us clear. In traditional white paper, the white that shows is blank paper (no ink because printers don't print in white). When a clear paper is used, all white areas will be clear because of the clear paper showing through
Sorry nkt sureni understand what you mean in the reverse process
My decal came off the moment it hit the warm water
If it came off too quick, use a colder temp. I usually try to be about room temp. Colder water will definitely take longer
It is tatoo paper
all the design does is trickle off the paper- like idk why it never works but the design always falls off :-T
You need to seal your paper with clear spray 3x letting it dry in between each coat before you cut it and apply it to your cup.
