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.

Grande' Finale has a semi thick consistency making it easy to spread by brush or hand. It self-levels and you can reapply it quickly with only a 2 hour recoat time.
Grande' Finale 2.0 is here. 2 years in the making and we're so excited to bring this amazing product to you.
Grande' Finale’ 2.0 is a one-of-a-kind, unique TopCoat (Acrylothane) that is based on the latest technology in the coatings industry. This is a custom, proprietary blend of ingredients not found in any other products available in the market. It is made up of several polymers that are chemically engineered and crosslinked together to become one. The benefit of chemically grafting is you get the best qualities of each of the polymers plus some added benefits that improve the coating as a whole.

*Brite Tone is a High Solids Polyurethane based Topcoat that will give a Super Clear, High Gloss, Durable, Protective Finish to your project. Brite Tone can be used on multiple surfaces. For tumblers, we recommend waiting 4 hours between each coat.

*Both Grande' Finale & Brite Tone can be used to build your coats, or as bases for adhering and sealing glitters and micas. Sometimes vinyl and glitter may need to be sealed with a solvent-based spray sealer in order to avoid repelling and or bleeding. Both products can be tinted using CraftNique Color Boutique Concentrated (liquid) Pigments.

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.
