In this video I go over the steps from start to finish of how to glitter a geode tumbler.

Here is the breakdown:
Tape off bottom
Paint Base Color on Cup
Apply glitter in each geode one ring at a time, letting dry between rings and brushing off excess.
Seal entire cup once done.
Epoxy a THIN layer over the whole cup and sprinkle the white in the non-geode areas and just into each outer geode ring.
Let cure at least 6 hours
Epoxy and let spin at least 6 hours.
Apply an additional coat of epoxy if necessary to get it smooth.
Wet sand any bumpy or pokey spots.
Clean cup
Apply decal
Epoxy final coat

Standard notes:
I pull tape immediately after applying final glitter layer.
I wait 24 hours before applying epoxy to mod podge to make sure it's completely dry. If you apply it too soon it'll turn the epoxy cloudy.
After epoxy I wait at least 12 hours before applying decal. If you do it too soon the transfer tape will stick to the epoxy.
I generally use oracal 651 vinyl and transfer rite transfer tape.
I am currently using FX Premium epoxy.
