    🍎 Tilesetters have a saying “don’t doubt the grout”. Grout applied between tiles hides minor imperfections in tile placement. So your method is just like applying grout. So cool! I’ll definitely try this for those light area where I can see every gap. Thanks for sharing!

    🍎This is genius. For some reason the pale coloured drills seem to be slightly smaller, so the gapping is not only more noticeable but also more likely to occur due to size discrepancy in the drills. I'll definitely be using this in future. Thank you! 💜

    Yes!! I bought two eyeshadow panels- about 40 colors- to do this... but my technique has improved as well... Great video.. I can see what you're doing clearly.. Would also love to see an effective straightening video. I find they just bounce back to their original placement.

    • @tammyglasenappsimon4941
      @tammyglasenappsimon4941 Před rokem +4

      Sometimes I don't think it's us laying drills down. I believe the lines are not straight especially squares. Because I can lay washi tape and start out straight as straight and then all of a sudden the tape goes not so straight. I lift it up and follow the faint line. And it's not straight plus we have to remember a machine is printing these canvases. I am not quite sure there is a perfect way to straighten drills. For many reasons. How you lay them, if lines are accurate straight, type of glue (pour, or double sided glue, which is hard to move drills anyways) and many other reasons....

    Hi. I just started working the "MIni Soul of the Rose" - a monster 22.5" x 34.5" square drills (87 colors) which I purchased from HAED. It is the largest project I have yet to work on and it will likely take two-three years as I have at least 20 cross stitch WIPs on the go. In any case, I started my diamond painting an hour ago, and was already frustrated by the gaps. I stumbled on your video while looking for how to store a canvas in progress and so glad to have found you! Thank you so much for sharing the mica powder solution. I will let you know how things turn out in two or three years.

    Brilliant. You are one clever mamacita!!! I will be using this on my completed canvas The Soul of the Rose (DBD). The gapping in the light colors is terrible. I think drill quality sub par. Had many issues with the drills and the adhesive is inconsistent. Has been most unenjoyable to work on. Thank you for this. I will push through the completion because I love the image. Love you!!!

    Question: how does it work on ab drills?? Will it mess with the coating? Cause we all got them white abs in a lot of DAC kits plus I always add white abs on other kits cause... I love then😂
    This is genius! I think I'll buy a pack with multiple colours that way I can try match the colour cause I am that person that cares if its gaps anywhere when I'm finished I try wiggle and move drills next day then gaps are back😂 so I think personally I'd do it on almost a whole canvas depending on how much gapping I got, how sloppy has me placement been 😂 especially if I'm going to gift it to someone
