About This Video

In this tutorial, I’m walking you through one of the most important (and most misunderstood) parts of diamond painting: wax and putty. I cover how to load your pen, how much to use, and what to do when things start acting up—like when your wax feels too soft, your putty gets stringy, or your pen suddenly won’t pick up drills. I also talk about how to figure out what type of “sticky” is best for you, because what works perfectly for one crafter can be super annoying for another. I also go into practical troubleshooting and the little tweaks that make a big difference—like adjusting how you prep the wax, keeping your hands and tools clean, and knowing when it’s time to refresh your pen instead of fighting with it. And since there are so many options out there, I share a bunch of places you can try for waxes and putties (plus a classic option like museum putty) so you can test what you like. My goal is to help you feel confident choosing your sticky, using it efficiently, and getting back to the cozy part: placing drills and relaxing.
