For beginners 1ml of resin per oz of cup (with no glitter or texture), is suggested amount of resin to use. Most Top-coating Epoxy resins work well on cups due to the thicker viscosity & higher gloss. Thinner viscosity resins can be used, (but since they’re much more runny), take that in to account when trying to cover a cup (may need to let it thicken a bit first).
On a 20oz tumbler, you can expect to use roughly 25-30ml of resin depending on the type of glitter used.
**Chunky glitter takes more resin. Some tumbler makers like to use anywhere from 2-3 coats of epoxy, but chunky glitter usually is 3 coats for the nicest finish.
Tumblers coated with resins can be shipped out after 5 days to 1 week . But as per all resin items, never package resin items directly touching any plastic materials.
