Mix immersion liquid. Fill a syringe with liquid and insert into the tumbler. You’ll want to fill as full as possible. I like to tip my cup so that all the air comes out. Sometimes it looks like your tumbler is full when really you have a big air bubble. It’s really important that you thoroughly clean the bottom of the cup with rubbing alcohol to remove any residue. If you don’t the epoxy won’t be able to fully adhere to the tumbler and can cause leaking. If the hole is plugged up, open it up and then turn the cup so the hole faces upward. You can let it sit like that, but it dries out a lot faster if you help out. Recently I dived a little into TikTok, and it’s been super fun, and that's where I spotted this trend. People seem super excited about it, but there wasn't a great tutorial for it, so I decided to do some testing and figure it all out.

As you start to drill you’ll see some of the plastic coming upwards. You can brush this away. You’ll hear a pop once you’ve made it through. Now we’ve made it all the way through. Reverse your drill instead of just trying to pull it out. Here you can see a closer look at what this looks like. You want to be really careful that you don’t accidentally drill through the second layer. What I love about UV resin is there isn’t a long waiting period when working with it. It is more expensive than regular resin but I think the time it saves is 100% worth the extra cost. When you’re using UV resin you’ll want to work in a darker space. Make sure to wear gloves when you’re working with UV resin and have good ventilation. I like to take my tumblers outside to a covered area out of the direct sunlight to do this. One thing I've noticed from my years of teaching adults is that we tend to skim read instructions, so it's helpful to write the tiniest detail down. We can't assume the crafter has handled one of these tumblers. I haven't, nor do I intend to because -- yikes -- too many drink containers in the house as it is.Cover the entire surface so it’s level with the plug. I like to do a small layer and add another one I’ve cured the first. The best way to get the water out will depend on the type of travel mug you have. And with some, there’s unfortunately nothing you can do. You may just have to get a new one. If it does not, your only option may be to drill a hole in your mug. That way the water can escape. Once the inside is dry, plug the hole up again with some kind of sealant (like silicone). Now it’s time to add our glitter to the tumbler. I’m using a variety of custom mixed glitters from Peachy Olive Glitters. They have SO many cute glitters that are perfect for these tumblers. I love how the mixes have a variety of shapes and sizes of glitter because it catches the light really well and the way it disperses looks really beautiful.

The easiest way to get water out from between the two layers is not to let it inside in the first place. This is obviously easier said then done, but with a few precautions, you can drastically reduce the chance of water getting in. That is clearly a last resort method, but if you can’t get the water out any other way and you don’t want to just throw the cup out, it is probably your only option.can I ask you something though... I've been watching several tutorials on these tumblers now - before I'm gonna make a mess out of mine xD
