Thank you for the in-depth details of how much of the rim should be showing!! I have messed up 4 cups and taken off way too much because other videos I watch don’t specify how much! Thank you!!!

I just wanted to Thank You for teaching me sooo much in the last several videos of yours that I watched! The way that you apply epoxy has been a game changer for me! I am looking forward to learning more from you in the future! Thanks again! I hope you have a Happy Mother's Day!

Isn’t this breaking the seal of the epoxy though? Especially getting all the way down to the stainless steel. Once a seal is broken on the epoxy, you’d have to do it again if now condensation, water and other things can get in. I know you did say you’d be doing another coat of epoxy over it, but I’d assume you’d use this technique (or a very similar technique) on the last coat to make sure it’s just as smooth, right? I do a very similar technique by sanding the rim etc, but never all the way down to the stainless cause I don’t want to break that seal of epoxy against the stainless. Have you used one of your own tumblers long term after using this technique? I’m curious to know how breaking the seal even just a tiny bit would effect the tumbler long term :-) Thanks in advance for an answer!

Thanks for asking and I understand your concern. So I do this process as early as possible in my cup making process. I try to leave enough room showing so I am sure to get a good seal. Yes this gets at least one final coat sometimes 2. So I never sand or work the edge like this on a final coat. The way I apply my epoxy I get little to no epoxy running up over the edge. If I do get a bit I slice it off with a super sharp blade.
I hope this helped. So much of this craft is experience and finding what works for you.
My #1 tip is give something to your customers you can be truly proud of.
I forgot to add... I have 3 personal tumblers and my husband has one. 2 of them use are using this technique. They have been used a few times a week for over a year.

How do I get the bottom smooth with epoxy around the bottom?

[@back2basicsmomplj857]

My best answer is practice. Sory for the late reply. I've been blessed with being busy doing custom orderz.

So there is supposed to be a very slight metal rim showing? I'm having a heck of a time...

[@back2basicsmomplj857]

Supposed.... hmm that is a question that is completely personal... I feel it is the best way. I would do a few different methods and do what feels right to you. This is what feels right for my customers.
