Review on Home Pro Shop Cup Turner Kit: Ultimate Tumbler Spinner for Crafters - DIY Glitter Epoxy Made Easy! Cup Tumbler Turner Machine Kit + Bonus Starter Kit by Summer Hendricks

From the moment I started opening the package it was a real nightmare. It took me a few days to "cool off" to come here and write this review because I was so angry. The first problem was that it was incredibly poorly packaged. When I opened it the glitter literally exploded everywhere and covered EVERYTHING in the box. Everyone. Small. Thing. Anyone who has ever worked with glitter knows that you can't get rid of it. Complete cleaning is not possible. The inside of the box was covered in glitter. The tubes were glitter covered, the foam was glitter covered, the measuring cups were glitter covered, the brushes (despite being wrapped in their own plastic) still managed to get glitter covered, the gloves were glitter covered , the block itself was covered in glitter. The gloves had to be thrown in the trash along with the brush as there was no way to remove the glitter from the bristles/gloves and I didn't want it ending up in my projects. After spending over an hour cleaning as many glitters as possible, I still find them at home a week later. It's also found its way into my projects, which is annoying. I don't make glasses with glitter. To make matters worse, this device ruined an ordered jar that I was PAID for and was unable to replicate. I am angry. I bought it based on this ordered glass. It had to be finished, but my old homemade lathe broke and I was in desperate need of a new one. When I first assembled this I powered it up to make sure it was spinning well. I just left it with the foam on the pipe and twisted it a bit to make sure everything was working properly. It was. So I got to work, put the mug on the machine and filled the mug with epoxy. When I did this, the tube completely detached from the machine, but I assumed the tube wasn't fully inserted/tightened. So I used my gloved hands to slide my cup, still attached to the tube that already had the epoxy on it, back onto the machine until it hit the plastic backing and finished applying the epoxy. I sat and watched him roll over and also used my heat gun to pop the bubbles. I covered my work to prevent dust/dirt from sticking to my epoxy and left it alone. When I went back to check it out a bit the pipe fell off the machine again causing my cup to fall and the epoxy to go bad. It was a fabric mug with a custom fabric that I no longer have. I can't repeat it and the epoxy builds up too much to sand off. The tube was pushed all the way in, but this machine can't seem to support the weight of the cups it's designed for, and eventually the tube falls off. I took a plain jar with nothing on it, put it on top of the tube and put the tube all the way in. I sat and watched and it was only about 10 minutes before she came back. defective product. Thank goodness for a little ingenuity, even if it should never have been necessary. I was able to solder and tie together the holes in the tube and the plastic block that the tube goes into to keep the tube from falling off. Unfortunately this now means I cannot remove the tube while my mugs are on to paint or finish them. I sent it back.
