    I use the micro dots but I was digging it out to replace. Just adding new dot so much easier! I’d tried the blue tak once but couldn’t get it to work. Must not have been loading it right cause I just tried again after watching your video and OMG! Awesome!!! Thank you!!! 🦋✨💎🎨💖

      You are so welcome!! You should see all of the wax I have! It's sitting in a drawer, and at least it makes it smell nice - LOL!! I guess I'll have to toss it at some point, because it will probably lose it's scent. They won't work in a wax warmer - I've already tried - haha!!

      I love putty so much more than wax, doesn't really matter which brand. I have been using glue dots for well over a year, and only in my single placer - I love them, because I can diamond paint for days without adding more dots. I guess it takes a little getting used to.

    Do you have any tutorials on how to remove this museum putty to clean the tips?

    • @gbmaltese
      @gbmaltese  9 месяцев назад

      I haven't done any videos on showing how to remove it, but I just use either a pair of really sharp tweezers, small scissor tip or other items that will help scoop it out. Just be careful not to scrap the sides of your tips, as it can damage them. I just take my time, and don't have any trouble. Once you get the putty to start coming out just pull it out and you will get most of it. You can also try thin plastic objects you might have around the house. Hope that helps!

      Currently I'm using a small toothpick, as the material I'm using looks like gum, it requires a little patience, but it's possible to remove all the material from the tip. It took me so long to receive it and I love it so much, that I try to be as careful as possible.

      The blue tak works okay too, but glue dots are my favorite for single placing. They last for days. It's so annoying to have to keep adding the pink wax into the pen. I had to stop using the pink pens, as it hurt my hands so badly. Then, collecting the pens became an obsession of sorts - LOL!! Happy diamond painting!!

    • @gbmaltese
      @gbmaltese  2 года назад

      No the tips just push in. If the tip is a bit small for the diamond painting pen you are using, I just wrap some scotch tape around the end of the tip to make it fit more snuggly. I don't use square-headed drill tips - I've tried them in the past, and they are worse to use than the round ones on both round and square drills. I bought the brown wooden pen from: www.etsy.com/shop/FollowingTheGrain?ref=usf_2020 It does take a few weeks to get pens from him, as he doesn't make them until he gets an order and he has a full-time job.

    I have tried all that you show and guess what...nothing works in my single placer as I do not do multi placer. I still need help finding the right stuff and stop spending more and more money on what does not work.
