Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to create the lava effect in a tumbler?
Use lava drip solution together with mineral oil in your craft tumbler. For thin-walled tapered tumblers, use Magic Flow Mineral Oil; for other tumblers, use Equate Mineral Oil. Other mineral oil brands can affect the flow.
How do I color the clear lava drip solution?
Add 1/2 teaspoon of FolkArt Satin Acrylic Paint to the clear lava drip solution. The clear version is thicker before paint is added and does not need to be shaken before use.
Can I add glitter to a lava effect tumbler?
Yes, glitter can be added to a lava effect tumbler before the liquids. Chunkier glitter flows through the lava solution and mineral oil, while finer glitter stays mostly within the mineral oil.
How often should I turn my finished lava tumbler?
Turn your finished lava tumbler at least two full turns daily, or five turns every 2–3 days. Longer periods without turning mean the solution takes longer to blend back together.
