I wanted to share, I was having issues with the wiggles too in my special pens. Wanted to share cause I found out if you add a bit of hot glue into your pen holes & immediately add your favorite stainless tips in. And if you ever need to remove, just twist & the hot glue will let go of it. But since learning this, I haven’t had one issue with pen tip wiggles. Hope that helps 😉
Good to know!! I will have to try it!!
Thanks for this video. Loved you showing all the options for steel tips and multi placers
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Love this video! So helpful!
Yay! Thanks for watching :)
Thank You so so much for my gifts Loved the items.
I just got a 4 placer from Amazon and I love it. I am going to order a steel 6 placer and a steel straightener. I tend to be a hard presser myself, but I am trying really hard to have a lighter hand. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love my steel straighteners! I’m trying to have a lighter hand too - using my pretty placer crayon forces me to be a bit lighter, or I leave wax everywhere. 😂
Thank you for sharing you experience I ordered from a few of those places. Have a bless day Hugs
I wish someone would make metal multi placers that are curved like the 3D printed ones from etsy. They are amazingly quick to use by rocking down the line ofdrills, but a little fragile feeling.
Oh, what a good idea!
"I have bent the brass tips" me too. I'm glad there's a solution.
❤So useful. Thanks!❤
Thanks for watching!
Love the Recordarme pens, inexpensive source for beautiful acrylic pens. Just got color called "vintage wood".
They are!!
I have that pen in purple it is a nice pen I like that black and pink color
It is just crazy because we really only need a few pens really.
True, but it’s always fun to have nice things! Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous the problem I have is seeing all the unnecessary buying of extra stuff. If we could only simplify our hobby instead of over consuming. It is just crazy to be in a state of mind to need or want everything. A poor person would be happy just having the pen the kit comes with and one kit. Hey I get it I try to be responsible and reasonable with my spending with all things. If you have so much pass some forward to someone whom has less. That is what I do. Just sharing a idea…… over consumption has gone wild on the internet.
I just ordered the ceramic cutters. Enabler😁
😊
Thank you for telling about the steel tips, but the sound is very low and you get out of screen ever so often, which makes it a little hard to see the different tips 🙂
I so agree on the thin multiplacers. I like the thin plastic ones but for square drills especially, the fatter ones work much better for square drills. I have gone nuts buying many different brands and I like the ss tips as long as it is deep enough to hold the wax for single placers and fatter for the multiplacers. Also, one brand on amazon is not stainless. It is plastic inside so be careful. Thanks for your video!
Oh, good to know about square vs round drills. Thanks for sharing!
I just rec’d an everlasting tip in the mail today & was excited to use it, but it’s too small for the 2 different acrylic pens I tried (one is a cateared pen with a metal cateared tip). I bought the other acrylic pen off Amazon bc it was pretty. Is the best way to get the everlasting tip to fit is washi tape in your opinion? My reason for buying the everlasting tip was bc I kept hearing great things about it. I thought maybe the well of the tip might hold more glue dots than the cateared tip. Any knowledge about that or if it even matters? I’ll now look for a video on how to use the washi tape to hold the tip in. Thank you for any help you can provide.
If I recall, the Cateared tips have a larger well than the everlasting tips. I wish tips and pens would be a standard size, but unfortunately they aren’t. If a tip doesn’t fit securely, I generally use washi tape to hold it. I’ve heard of other people using hot glue, but I’ve not tried that method. Thanks for watching!!
I have been wondering about these steel tips and multi placers because they are so expensive and so many different types, I was getting confused on what was the best to buy. Thank you so much for this video it is extremely helpful and it gives me choices plus I was worried if they would fit my pens. I do use the thin multi placers but I will use either size to be honest. Great video have subscribed much love from Ireland. 🤗💎👍
So glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for reviewing them. Which place had the 4 placer you said you were going to be getting more from?
The Recordarme store on Amazon. Link is in the description box!
The amazon pens are so comfortable to use
I bought steel tips. The single placers I dont like. I feel the circumference is too big and when you push the drill to the canvas, it pushes the drill beside it. I do however like the steel multiplacers. I keep the brass/ plastic tips from the cheap pens and put them i to my thicker pens.
Everyone has their likes/dislikes. As long as it works for you, that’s what matters. Thanks for watching!!
Try using plumbers tape when your bits are loose. It more malleable than Washi tape and regular tape.
I will try that! Thanks for watching!!
I'm wishing I can find a single barrel with a smaller diameter. I find that it picks up and keeps the drill from falling off or sinking in the well. I cannot find one. I have one on the wishbone ergonomic pen but that is exclusive to that pen and is not made for the acrylic or resin pens. I'm still trying tips but I think I also prefer the thinner multiplacers but not sure yet. Thanks for all the comparisons. I spent alot on everlasting from Australia and do not like them. This was very helpful and show we all have different preferences as well. I wish I could use glue dots but the glue is like rubber and doesn't stick or stay in. It used to work but now all my dots are like rubber so I use museum putty in the multiplacers. Also just got some catearred and they are ok, better than the pink brass. Love the quality.
I tried the everlasting tips as well, and though they are ok, I do prefer the Cateared full steel tip. I've tried the putty as well, but I prefer the glue dots. Our weather causes gumming issues with the putty. Thanks for watching!
I just ordered my first diamond painting kit so I am as brand new at this as it gets. I do have a question. Why does the depth of the well of the tip matter?
It doesn't, really. For me, since I use glue dots in my single placers, the depth matters because I may have to add more glue dots in a deeper well. Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Makes sense ty so much!
Very impressed with your video! I am confused. I bought a 2 placer steel from Frenzy (Doni) I have to fill often with mud. Can you tell me if I want to buy 1 to buy a steel all in one for rounds and the square what do you reccomend. Also a steel 9 steel placer. Ricki Lieberman💙💎💙💎💙💎
If you only want to buy one tip, round or square is a personal preference. If you do more squares, I’d get the square. But the round tip will do both, if you like to work on both rounds and squares. My favorite all in ones are the round Cateared ones - the link to them on Amazon is in the description under the video. I haven’t gotten a 9 steel placer I like yet, but they do have some on Amazon if you search.
Where should I order multi placers (steel) from? The thicker ones that you liked
There is a link to the Amazon store in the description below the video. There are several different stores where you can find steel multiplacers, but I liked the ones from the Recordarme store.
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous I thought you really liked the double placer from DrillPenFrenzy? Did you think those were too thin? Do you have any other multi-placers from DrillPenFrenzy? Why do you like the Recordarme tips on Amazon better?
Also, I never heard your take on the Square Single Placer? I was curious if you liked that?
@@svonnestickley6311 The double placer from DrillPenFrenzy is nice, not too thick. I don’t have any others from them, so I can’t speak to the rest. The Recordarme ones I have are the ones with the thinner walls, which I prefer. As for the square single placers, they are nice if you do a lot of squares, but I don’t think they are necessary - the round single placers work perfectly well.
I got a bit confused with the multi placers. Which store had your favorites? I have a steel multiplayer that I don't care from and it looks like the ones you didn't like. Also, I love the cateared single steel tips as well!
The Recordarme and Cateared links were my favorites. The DPXW stores had the thinner multiplacers that just didn't work as well for me.
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous thank you!!
Hi there. Can you link the DP Amazon shop please? Thank you!
@@jamiejazz8194 Just do a search for Cateared tips on Amazon and you’ll find them.
I have never tried the steel tips been wondering if they were better to use. I don't multi place so I just need 1 single placer can you just order 1 ? I just love listening to you while I dp. !!
Thank you! There are lots of sellers on Etsy who sell single steel tips.
Have you seen the sets now that basically make the tips $0.75-$1.25 each depending on the lot you purchase? I just bought a set of 24 (2 ea of all of the options...2 single angles, 2 regular singles, 2 straighteners and then 2 each of 2-10 placers) for about $20 after taxes. I find they have the same issue for the bit that goes into the pen as the ones from the sets you've shown...the placers fit into the pens but the straighteners are not quite thick enough...I use clear tiny rubber bands (for hair) from the dollar store and it helps. The placers are not the super thick ones, but I'm hoping to give them a try here soon. They aren't stainless steel, but they feel pretty solid anyway.
I also think it's funny how we view the well so differently. I LOVE the shallow tips because I don't have to use as many glue dots to fill them up. I also never put wax in any of them because I switched to glue dots before trying to any of the non brass tips and discovered that glue dots did not like the brass barrels if they'd had wax in them before. The wax lubricates the inside and doesn't give the glue dots anything to stick to. If you've used wax in the tips you've tried glue dots in with the shallower wells then that could be why your glue dots are coming out. I don't have that problem and never have. I have the issue of not being able to find the right stick to my glue dots so they don't want to release the drill to the canvas because the glue dot is stickier...this is especially the case for poured glue as DSA is a lot stickier.
Interesting, I didn’t consider that the wax would form a barrier for the glue dots. I just got a very inexpensive set of tips that I will be unboxing soon. To ‘prime’ your glue dots, try tapping them on your clothes. They pick up a bit of lint, which reduces the stickiness just enough to make it easier to work with. It sounds crazy, but it works! I will have to try glue dots in the shallow well tips - I’ve got several I’ve not used for anything. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Which one is the green one your favorite I want to order it but confused! Where should I order your favorite from? Where should I order the square tip from? Where should I order the steel straightener and multiplacers steel from? Please help I am very confused,! Where did you order the very lightest pen from? Thank you Ricki 💎💙💎💙💎💙💎🥋
You can find a link for the green pen in the description below the video. I got it on Amazon. You can also order the square steel tip and steel straighteners from Amazon - the link is also in the description below the video.
Where did you get the placers with the thicker walls?
From Recordarme on Amazon. There is a link in the description or you can just do a search for steel diamond painting pen tips and you should find them. :)
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Awesome, thank you.
What do you use glue dots for?
I use glue dots instead of the pink wax in my single placer tips. Thanks for watching!!
Hello,
I'm a newbie to diamond painting and just finished my 1st one. I want to buy a good quality resin drill pen but very unsure what to go for. Would be greatful for some links or recommendations. Thanks in advance xx
It’s all a matter of personal preference, but you can find nice resin pens on Amazon, or you can look on Etsy for people who make them. There are loads of great pen makers there! Thanks for watching!
I've bought one and I went with the steel ends but so glad I have found you for some tips so I get the most out of this. Thanks so much for your help xx
@@samxx3843 You're welcome - you will love the steel tips as they are much more sturdy than the standard brass barrels!
Those ceramic pens are good for opening mail to
Oooh, good to know!
Those tips are on my wish list
So. You just reminded me of mom~ she had this gorgeous engagement ring. The main rock was was huge. And this lady opened boxes with it. BOXES. with a big gotty expensive Tiffany's ring. You comment was almost verbatim what she said when I saw her do it. "The ring is also good for opening boxes" xD so from then it was deemed a box cutter.
Is your grey pen from Axe and Iron on Etsy? I have little hands, those are my absolute favorites. Thank you for this, I have wondered if the "other" steel tips are worthwhile. I live the ones I have from Everlasting but they are spendy.
Yes, the pen is from Axe & Iron. Good eyes!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous I know that curvy shape! They are so easy for me to hold.
I love their curvy pens. I have second one on order. I also love the mini pens from Jim’s handmade shop. I work with a clip on magnifier light and the shorter pens work great because they don’t hit the magnifier.
@@diamondgirl5299 The curvy ones are so easy for me to hold and I love they are shorter. I've not tried. Short one from Jim's! Good tip!
i like pen number 6 were did u get ir?
I'm not sure which pen you mean. What color/shape is it?
The light blue one the teal
@@estelanavalenzuela311 If you mean the marbled teal one, it's from SesPlusBeauxATours on Etsy. They are a bit pricey, but the pens are gorgeous!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous thanks i looked them up
That green is gorgeous I might have to put it in my wishlist. Don't tell me your getting on the pen band wagon xx
My husband was looking at my pens the other day and said, “I think you have a problem.” 😂
Oh no. That's one thing I'm not bothered about thank god. I've not had a expensive pen and don't think I'll get 1. My vice is storage and wax 🤣 xx
@@diamondpainting_clare3528 I have a problem with a lot of things related to diamond painting! :D
Aw bless ya. Of course I love owning more than I should of Diamond paintings. There's 4 I want from dac today 😫 and I buy abs a lot xx
@@diamondpainting_clare3528 I'm struggling to not buy today either! I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything new until next month and it's soooo hard!!
The Micro glue dots stay in my steel tips.
I bought some of the micro ones to try out!
I got a set from Amazon that I requested a refund for. They were way too thick, even the single placer. You couldn’t place drills next to each other without having to fix each one. I was very disappointed, but that’s life. It was 9-10 for the set and they looked so cute, they had a design on them and were a bullet like color.
I think I just ordered those - the decorative set? I haven't tried them yet.
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Yes, they are really neat looking, but I just can’t make them work for me. I hope they work for you. I’d love to see you review them!
@@Ctperp I will put that on my to-do list!
The sound is so low
Enjoyed you video only you recorded it very low I had a hard time hearing you very good
Apologies. I try to make sure the audio is good.
