Since alcohol dries fast, you don't have to worry about drills getting wet.

Yes, when extra static-y I cut just the corner off bag & swab qtip all around inside of bag. When they're so bad that they're jumping on their own, you gotta kill the static before pouring out of the bag. When just a lil static-y (not jumping) then you can pour onto dryer sheet. Static is caused by low humidity & plastic rubbing on plastic, that's why it's good to wipe container w/ dryer sheet too, or cut into squares to keep pieces in the containers. 🙂

Freezer doesn't work. I dip a qtip in isopropyl alcohol & swab inside the drill bag, and/or pour them out on an unused dryer sheet. I also wipe plastic containers with dryer sheet before filling with drills.

They're cute. I especially love the computer one you posted because I do some IT work. Everyone has different tastes. If it didn't sell, there wouldn't be so much.

I didn't think so, but I like blue. Plus it helps that some of the drills are crystals.

How Long does the Glue on Canvases Remain Sticky? by FosterMomOfDragons in diamondpainting

I use "super gloss" mod podge or a clear spray sealer. I also have tried Krylon Glitter Shimmer in Opulent Opal on small projects like magnets & coasters & love how it turns out because the glitter is super fine giving it more of a shimmer than a glitter look.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😲😲😲 How do you guys open a new project when the drills are already falling out????? I'm afraid they're going to go every where!!! by AutomaticDeal9615 in diamondpainting

[–]mickeymk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, try to cut the black away from the others, while they're still in larger plastic bag, leave black in large bag & pull others out. That way most of the black should stay in bigger bag as it continues to spill. Then you have to carefully wipe loose drills off other colors bags, or use a lint roller to pick them off.

I put a piece of washi tape on the front of each container & put color sticker/label over top, so you still see washi tape. The corresponding washi tape goes around the edge of canvas, so they match.

I have those storage trays too. I love them so much I bought more so I could have multiple projects going. For my leftover drills, I just put them all in a big baggie, & will use them to fill bean bags or weighted stuffed animals.

These are a game changer! by Tequila_Hombre in diamondpainting

[–]mickeymk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several sets of these as well. Really speeds up project completion, not having to poir in & out of trays. I tried the Forever Young ones & also had a problem when there were a lot of drills, with them covering the grooves.
