We have several products that can be used with your tumblers and crafts. Most are using our Grande Finale (GF) or Brite Tone (BT) as an alternative to Epoxy. Both are Waterbased products and are very high in solids so it builds quicker than any other Waterbased products. It is very different than epoxy as you have to use several thin layers versus 2 to 4 layers of epoxy. The layers dry quickly and can be re-coated every 2 (GF) to 4 (BT) hours. It can’t be used in molds because it’s not a pouring type product due to it needing to dry in thin layers. Colorants can be added to it. We have 8 intermixable Concentrated Colorants which gives you tons of color options. Also liquid mica metallics.
In terms of safety, there is no comparison. All Crystalac products are non hazardous and non toxic. They are completely safe to use- even indoors.
No mixing or toxic fumes released. The only protection needed is if you are sanding or spraying the products. In that case, a mask is recommended. In almost 40 years of making coatings, we have never had an allergic reaction reported. Below is a list of our Tumbler products and use so you can see which products the crafting market is using. You can also join our amazing CrystaLac Tumblers and Crafts (OFFICIAL) page on FaceBook for great tips for getting started.

Application:
Properly prepping your tumbler is a critical step before using any paints or topcoats on it. We suggest a light scuff sanding with 400 grit sandpaper to ruff up the surface and then wipe clean with alcohol to remove any traces of dust or fingerprints.
Apply CrystaLac products at room temperature (68 to 75 degrees) and allow 2 to 4 hours drying time between coats of paint and/or finish depending on which product. Finishes will self-level as they dry. Do Not Use heat guns to force drying. Full hardness can take up to 30 days. You can gently use before that, but it will continue to harden over a 30 day period.
Hand wash only with soap and water and do not submit tumblers to extreme heat or cold.
Store at room temp. Do Not Freeze or expose to heat.
All products manufactured by The CrystaLac Company are Non-Toxic, Non-Hazardous, Non-Yellowing and completely safe to use indoors. Use a mask when sanding or spraying. We are a family-based company here in the USA that has been making environmentally safe coating for almost 40 years.
