If making tumblers is on your list of hobbies to try this year, it’s time to get started!


My Story on How I Got Started with CrystaLac

Nowadays, the internet is full of people trying to tell you what to do, what to buy, and the best way to go. This makes it hard to figure out what’s real and who you can trust. After I developed an allergy to epoxy and was having trouble breathing, I realized I had to move past it and switch to CrystaLac.

When I first started, no one was talking about CrystaLac because it was mainly used for furniture and wood projects. It seemed daunting because there were so many rules, and I couldn’t figure out what I needed to do on my tumblers. Thankfully, a lot has changed in the last three years and there is now more content on this subject.

However, it can be hard to figure out who to listen to and what you’re supposed to do. After teaching thousands of people how to make tumblers with CrystaLac, I have narrowed it down to the top three rules that you need to follow on each of your tumblers. This will ensure that your tumblers turn out beautifully and you don’t waste time and effort.

3 Rules You Must Follow for CrystaLac Tumblers

Rule #1: Prep Your Tumblers

Start by taking off the factory finish so that your paints, glitters, and top coats can stick. This is especially important if you want your tumbler to last a long time.

Rule #2: Follow the Dry Times

Different products have different guidelines for how long they should dry. For CrystaLac products, Grand 

Finale and Glitter Glue need to dry two hours each before you recoat it, and any CrystaLac paints need to dry for four hours.


Rule #3:  Always Sand Your Tumblers

This process will vary depending on the style tumbler that you’re making and the product that you’re using. Sanding will give you not only  a smooth but a shiny surface.
