What kind of sander do you use to prep the pens?

[jeffreycanfora]

Awesome! I still need to assemble my turner with supplies from earlier video links. Doing the water slides on the pens though, I wish I new more about that process other than using it for pictures and adding to tumblers. I feel like I’m missing a great option and opportunity there with designing pens.

[laurenjerzak]

Do you have or can you make a video with how you cut your vinyl for your pens. I find it very hard and very frustrating to cut small fonts on cricut.

Can grande finale 2.0 be use to make small letter on silicone molds with image inside?

[tracybellanca]

When you say base coat, is that paint? If so what kind?

[rvande]

The link to the pen adapter isn't working. I'm using a make shift one right now, but my pens keep getting stuck to the pencils and taking off a chunk of my glitter and grabd finale, so I'm looking for a better option. Do you have any ideas?

Can I use reducer ti grand finale? Or just to brite tone

[jenniferhayes]

I’m having a problem with my glitter not looking like glitter anymore on the back side/glittered side after the 4th coat of Grand Finale and then light sanding. Do you have any suggestions? It looks more like paint with no glitter or sparkle showing. 😕 It’s on acrylic blanks and I’m using Zindee glitter. Thanks!

[daniellecrisp]

Hi Allison, thank you for all your videos so helpful. Of topic, can you tell me if Brite tone works on sublimation. I used hyperion, and it peeled right off. Sometimes, add glitter to my sublimation tumblers. Can you help me. I hate epoxy. ! And it's grand final the same ? Hope to hear from you. Danni

What kinds of paint can I use for the base coat?

[tiffanywhite]

Thank you so much for this! I was giving up on pens after researching how bad resin and epoxy are! I'm buying supplies now. Do you have a preference between grand finale & Brite tone?

[georgialewis]

I started at end of November using grand finale and it is definitely going to be all I use when my brite tone is all used up.

[jenniferbrady]

grand finale if i do't have this product i have a large container of brite tone can i use it?

[SunRyzeButterfly]

Could you specifically tell me what kind of glue that you’re using for your pens? I couldn’t catch it in your tutorial video.

[JenWoods-olwb]

What size glitter do you recommend? .015? .008?
