Best Epoxy for Tumblers: What to Look For

Short answer: choose an epoxy sold for tumblers or coatings with a long enough working time (often 30–45 min) and good leveling without dripping on a cup turner. Measure accurately and plan about 1.5 fl oz per coat on a 20 oz skinny (details).

Use the tumbler epoxy calculator for other cup sizes.
