Hi Alison! I want to make a peekaboo glitter dipped wine glass where a mirrored vinyl decal is applied first, then glitter over the vinyl so you only see the vinyl image from the inside of the glass.....my question is: not one tutorial I've seen thus far discusses or shows sanding their glass as part of their prep. I know I have to sand the glass, but I'm afraid if I sand it before adding the vinyl it will dull the way it appears from the inside of the glass, so....should I sand the glass, then add a thin layer of BT or EP before I add the vinyl, then seal with glitter glue and continue on w/glitter layers....OR should I apply the vinyl first to the unsanded glass, then sand the glass around the vinyl, then do my layers of glitter glue, glitter and BT? I apologize for the long question and hope I am making sense!🤦♀️ Thanks so much for your help! Your tutorials have been my saving grace in my learning process❤

No fumes! Its completely non toxic and has no hazardous ingredients. And since it's water based, it cures by evaporation so there are no fumes created/let off during curing! The time it takes really depends on how much time you have to give. You can layer your Brite Tone every 4 hours and your cup will probably need 6-8 layers or so (really depends on the design tbh) and so it can be two days or 5 days depending on your ability to get layers on!

Honestly sounds like several issues - 1) Dimples mean your coats are too thick or 2) your previous coat wasn't dry before you added another coat. Probably both! How long did you wait after you applied alcohol? Possible you didn't sand enough. these cups are tough too because if they are bent at all, they can split.

No, just for one hour and then you can let it dry on a drying rack!

You can use epoxy on a double walled acrylic cup. Not recommended for single walled plastic. I use Crystalac though!

Allison I love your tutorials! You are amazing explaining your instructions... I got a question though do you leave your cup turning for all fir hrs? I know you have to wait for 4 hours for cure time. But I noticed in the first hr is already dry. I was wondering if at this point I can turn the turn cups and wait for the other 3 hrs?

It will be dry to the touch after about an hour! You can turn off the Turner at that point or you can take the cup off and move it to a drying rack! I do some spin mine for 4 hours because I forget to turn if off 🥴

Do you have issues with the crystalac peeling?
@AlisonCrafts
3 жыл бұрын
No, if it's peeling you either are squeezing the cup (can't do that) or you did not prep enough.

Is it just me but when I put britetone on the logo it starts to want to come off... is it because I do not lightly sand it before?

You should always prep your surfaces. Scuff marks will go away after Crystalac is applied

Hello, how did you add the vinyl without the crystalac lifting?
@AlisonCrafts
3 жыл бұрын
make sure you prep the cup. do a few coats first before adding vinyl. also make sure you have good transfer tape that isn't too sticky.

It may peel off if you don't sand but you could test it out. there is a chance it will be fine. Not sure you can really remove it from these types of cups without ruining the cup.
