Por qué es importante usar el vaso correcto para tu efecto lava

Why it's important to use the right glass for your lava effect.

🥤 Why does the type of glass matter?

The lava effect needs a stable flow so that the liquid and glitter move smoothly and magically.
When the glass has walls that are too wide , the liquid disperses, the glitter loses its strength, and the result may look "dull" or without the hypnotic effect you're looking for.


❌ Problems when using non-recommended glasses

  • Irregular movement of the lava mix: the liquid does not flow well and the glitter can get stuck.

  • Trapped bubbles: that neither rise nor fall, creating an incomplete effect.

  • Damaged paint: If the tumbler has very thick walls, the paint (or the color of the design) may peel off or stick to the inside, damaging the finish and ruining the tumbler.

  • Opaque appearance: the result looks unappealing and unprofessional.

  • Risk of leaks or difficulty in sealing properly.


✅ Advantages of the right glasses

  • Narrower walls → controlled flow and dynamic lava effect.

  • Greater durability and less risk of leaks.

  • Professional and consistent finish.

  • Protection of color and interior paint.
