The down side to clear is it needs to be applied to light colored tumblers. Clear on the other hand, is useful when you want the color to show through. The only advantage is being able to adjust it when you apply it. The first time I used it, I didn’t know the difference.
TUBBLER DRYING RACK PRO
I have always used Pro Marine since day 1.
I use these disposable 1oz measuring cups I found on Amazon: Disposable Cups And large dixie cups to pour part A and part B. Disposable Measuring Cups and Dixie Cups- You will need these for mixing epoxy.I will post a tutorial showing how you can build one too! My drying rack used female PVC connectors so that the PVC pipe screwed in and couldn’t fall. I built a whole table with drying rack underneath. Drying Rack- You will need a place to hold your PVC pipe while your cup dries.Cut little strips to wrap around the noodle and then place a rubber band to hold it in place. The shelf liners help when the noodle doesn’t fit quite as snug as you would like. I recommend the thick and skinny noodles as well as shelf liner. *Lesson Learned: DON’T glue them to the PVC! I did this and eventually had to rip them off so that I could interchange the footballs and pool noodles.* Footballs will fit the 30oz tumblers and pool noodles will fit the 20oz and 12oz tumblers. At Dollar Tree you can find these: Footballs Cut a hole in one side. ¾” PVC pipe approximately 8-10’ long with a male connector. PVC, Pool Noodles and Football Holders- This is what you need to hold your cup while it is drying.There are more sizes available and can be found here on Etsy: Cupasaurus This has been a game changer! If you want to increase productivity, you need this turner! If you’re handy, then you can build your own with a rotating motor. It was a mess! I upgraded to the Cup-a-saurus 9-cup turner. The uneven distribution of weight caused it to turn inconsistently. It lasted about a week before I had to upgrade. I started out with the chicken rotisserie from Lowes. Turner- A turner is need so that your cup can rotate so the epoxy will dry evenly around it.Whether you are running a company or creating for family and friends, we want you to make this tumbler your own! I learned from experience which is why we designed our cups without a logo. The problem with these is they can cause the paint and epoxy to apply with blemishes. Cups- Our cups at The Steel Magnolia Company are made for this! Other companies use a raised logo on their tumbler.But my go to place is Southern Bees Bling! I will post a few pictures later! I also purchased these jars on Amazon to hold my glitter: Amazon Glitter Containers Nola’s ang highly recommend them! You can find their groups on Facebook. I have found their glitter to get chunky with bad coverage. Glitter- When I first started making cups, the first brand I ever tried was Southern Bling.Just make sure you get the red can that sprays as a “mist” and not “web”. Adhesive Spray- There are several brands, but I have always used Locktite without issue.I have found that it doesn’t run like Krylon tends to do. Spray Paint- I recommend the Rustoleum Paint and Primer.Let’s first talk about the things you will need to get started!
So, you have probably seen these beautiful cups people are creating and wondering how do I even begin? These first few entries will give you a little insight on how the process works.
