This comparison is right on time. Thank you! I’m new to tumblers and was desperately looking for an alternative to epoxy…then a company that I felt comfortable supporting with my dollars. This looks like a great option.
For anyone needing a cost comparison pop over to the main group “Hyperion epoxy free tumblers and crafts” where you will find we have broken it down step by step. It works out about $1.50 more per cup to use HP. Saying that, the amount of time HP saves is invaluable ❤️
I calculated Hyperion at $2.89 more per cup …. Hyperion 11 coats at the suggested 7.5ml = 82.5ml and Crystalac used 17 coats at the recommended 2.5ml or less (would be less for those little cups) = 42.5 - which is 40 ml less - wow …. Hyperion 2.5 liter (2500 ml) is $135.00 (.054 per ml) and Crystalac Brite Tone 1 gallon (3785.14 ml) is $138.50 (.037 per ml) ….. cups cost Hyperion $4.46 / Crystalac $1.57 wow!
@@michellehansen1543 yes we saw that michelle and we appreciate your input 😊 but as I said your basing it on a basic cup. Hyperion is a choice and an option you aren’t forced to use it ❤️ Some people would much prefer a lot more free time that $2/$3 dollars. This video has been done by shafeeqah to inform people then they can make their own minds up whether to use or not it. I think you could also do that base on the info you have ❤️
@@Hyperion_uk I understand that - it is still a good comparison. I have watched multiple comparisons and they never calculate out the price difference - I was all hyped up until I calculated the cost out … it is always going to be a significant dollar difference due to the 7.5ml - 10ml Hyperion vs 2.5ml - 1.0ml Crystalac
Hyperion contains methyl-2h and it is hazardous !!!! whyyyyy does no one reaadddd 😭😭😭 I thought it was good but after doing my research I read that it contains this ingredient and it is toxiccc
Time is money for me…i love BT but the 2-3 weeks turn around time was just slowing me down too much. HP is more costly but the glass like finish is worth it to me and the dry times are amazing! I think if BT dried faster, I’d stick with it…but both are great products! Do what works best for you ❤
@@Kruftisg Exactly. If you’re using it to make tumblers as a hobby, it’s a no hassle, leisure product..but if you’re in business, the wait times are just too long. I’m loving Hyperion! I’ll be using both interchangeably but I’m definitely hyped up on Hyperion right now! The dry times are a real game changer. If CrystaLac could improve the dry times…
As soon as my jug of CryStalac is done I am switching over to Hyperion👍And as always your cup is beautiful ,and it looks more glass like. . love that shine. Cheers🇨🇦

THANK YOU for this! I recently started reacting to UV Resin and these 2 options were suggested to me by another crafter and I couldn't decide between the 2 since not many others use it.
Thank you so much. I actually bought a crystal lac kit but was stalling on using it because of the time needed... I will try hyperion.. I like the idea of it better for glitter. Thank you for taking the time.
@@Kruftisg I just watched it. Thank you for the review. I love th GF but my final layers I can't get a smooth shiny surface. I either get streaks or cutie peel. If has been beyond frustration. I bought HP to try and see what my thoughts are.
I wondered why no one compares cost of the two until I did - because with Hyperion 11 coats at the suggested 7.5ml = 82.5ml and Crystalac recommended 2.5ml or less (would be less for those little cups) = 42.5 - which is 40 ml less - wow …. Hyperion 2.5 liter (2500 ml) is $135.00 (.054 per ml) and Crystalac Brite Tone 1 gallon (3785.14 ml) is $138.50 (.037 per ml) ….. cups cost Hyperion $4.46 / Crystalac $1.57 wow!
I think by your calculations you would be using the same amount of product per cup. You don’t. The video shows you that alone. It’s almost double the amount of BT to HP If you want to be fair on your calculations as the video has been. You need to take that into consideration 😊 We’ve worked it out and it’s visible in the main group that it’s $1.50 extra per cup for HP. Take away all the time you save,which is days, the comparison becomes obsolete. If we added how many minutes/hours the extra coats take and the extra time you wait using BT you would find the BT is a whole lot more expensive 😊 food for thought ❤️
@@Hyperion_uk no, it is more coats 17 vs 11 but the coats used for Hyperion use a lot more product - the video said they used 11 coats with Hyperion at 7.5 ml per coat would be 82.5ml -- the video also shows 17 coats with Crystalac at 2.5ml per coat that is 42.5ml -- which is 40ml less than used on the Hyperion … I calculated correctly
@@michellehansen1543 even taking this cup and your calculations into account this is a basic cup. You go to a more in-depth cup and your talking a huge different in coats. Even just chunky glitter instead of fine makes a huge difference. The difference in prices becomes even less in those circumstance. Also like I pointed out you can’t buy time and that what this saves. 😊
I'm still using my Crystalac BT and once I get done with that, I think I'm going to give Hyperion a try! I'm super excited for the faster times ( 30 Minutes & the 2 HRS recoat). The one question I have about it is, how much of the product do you use? I've seen a video where you use between 7-10 ML of product. With Crystalac, you just put it on in thin coats without taking account of an amount of product, just thin coats. Also, Do you know the font that you used?
Yes, 7.5ml is recommended. Because I think if u use too little, you get streakiness (because it’s fast drying product), and if u use too much you get pooling. If I’m being honest Ive only gotten pooling once (will be showing in the upcoming video!). But both is easily rectified. 😊 and…. can’t remember the font I used… 😩
@@MsHoneyLove04 oh, tbh I’ve nvr gotten gritty feeling before, but I believe, the gritty feeling is due to the dried HP that’s got into the tumbler while Ure brushing it on. Only experienced pooling once. Make sure there’s no fan and don’t put too much product. 😊❤️
Always put in care card that ur cups are not to be placed in the dishwasher. This video is so that, if ever ur customer place it in the dishwasher, u know it won’t be destroyed. But to answer your question.. HP takes 10 days to cure. 😊but u can wash normally even in between sanding
I’m not sure if I’m answering your question right, but.. Hyperion $135 for 2.5 UK Litres, Crystalac $138.50 for 1 US Gallon. In the Hyperion official facebook group, they did an approximate breakdown costing. It’s around $1.50 per cup.
The shine and colour difference is amazing. Love Hyperion
We’re both happy user!
Excellent comparison! You can really see the color difference. I appreciate your thorough review, I know this took a lot of time.
🥹 THANK YOU!! I appreciate this comment a lot! ❤️

Great video. You were fair and honest and that’s appreciated. It’s great we have a backup no matter which product you prefer.
Thank you so much! Yes, it’s true. 😊❤️
Terrific video of the time comparison , the shine, and the amount of time. Great video. Thank you.

Awww. Thank YOU for watching! ❤️ truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Never used crystalac but I use Hyperion for most things now like tumblers, keychains and decoupage I love it.
It’s amazing right?!
Have you heard the Crystalac news? Sounds like they have a comprable product to Hyperion now.
Thank you for the comprehensive and informative challenge. I'm looking for a safe epoxy alternative and this is a great help.
Thank you 😍
This was a great video comparison!!
Thank you so much!! 💕
@@Kruftisg You're so welcome!!!
Thank you for this video. I have been really thinking about switching to Hyperion from crystalac.
Thank YOU for watching … ❤️❤️I do hv another experiment, gf vs BT vs hp too! 😊

Awesome review and great to see how you make your tumblers, thank you for this 👌
Yay! So happy you said that. 😊❤️ thank you for watching, appreciate it! Loooove.

@@Hyperion_uk still a huge difference in pricing.
What kind of finish do you get once it cures? Does it hold up to water/ heat/ sun? How long for a full cure and how long before light use.
Have you tried the new Crystalac Grand Finale? I wonder what the comparison for Grand Finale vs hyperion?
Yes love, I have. I posted the video 2 weeks ago ❤️. Hopefully that helps!

You should use the newer product Grande Finale by CrystaLac. Thicker and less wait time.
I have made a video on the new product too. 😊 I did a stress test w it too!
@@Kruftisg yes I finally found that one. Thank you for the comparisons.
Thanks a trillion💜
Watch out! Crystalac has been known to attack anyone who challenges their products. And two weeks later….
2 weeks later? What happened?
I'm sure it's around but how long to cure hyperion b4 washing or dishwashing?

That many coats? That's crazy. I could have done several cups with epoxy and recovered from my epoxy symptoms by the time you finished 1.
😂 I believe I said how many coats in the video. And I can’t use epoxy either.. 🥴😵💫
You need to check your affiliate links and your description. At least one is broken. I'd hate for you to miss out
Hi Lisa! Ure such a sweetheart! Thank you. I will check it 😊❤️
@@Kruftisg I'll watch for the update before I drop an order in 😁😁
What is the price difference between the two?

What grit Is your sandblock?
I usually use 400 grit, 800 grit & 1000 grit. These are my “staple” 😊.
@@Kruftisg Oh ok thank you !!
Thanks for this great video 🤍
