Thanks so much for the review. I had no idea this change was coming. I use tweezers as much as possible but hope this new pen works out for me when I have to use it. It seems to be leaving a lot of residue compared to pink wax, or maybe it's just more visible because it's white. But I know this will drive me nuts. I think I'll be hanging on to all my extra wax for future use. I look forward to seeing your final thoughts on this. Thanks again.
Hi Susan, I think it is leaving more residue if that tiny section I did is how it’s going to be but we’ll see how it looks once I’ve finished the whole canvas. For me, the bigger issue is that it’s very difficult to remove from the drills. With pink wax it’s relatively easy to pick residue off with sharp tweezers. The putty is more like trying to pick up soft chewing gum because it’s stringy and smears across the drill. I think more work has to be done on the composition of the putty and I’m sure that DAC will be watching and listening to customer feedback. Time will tell. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Hello thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try mine out, though I'm completely new to diamond painting in general, yes it's putty changeable but can u ball up the old style wax and put it in? Or putty only.
Hi Tori, you can replace the putty with pink wax but completely removing the putty from the chamber takes time, patience and effort. I’m talking from experience. 😄 Thanks for watching and welcome to the wonderful world of diamond painting!
@@DiamondPaintingJim TY SOOO MUCH. Your video is literally the only video about the pens. You get short ones with unboxings but nothing like yours :D ty soo much again
The new pens are being phased in, so not all kits have them yet. This is a video showing how you can check which tool kit you are going to get with a diamond painting kit from Diamond Art Club.

I appreciate the review, Jim! I have a new kit coming next week and have been anxious to try to the pen. Did you happen to try the putty on any ABs, by chance? I've heard some, but not all, putties work with ABs.
I was thinking about what you said about the putty and tip being the same color. I think using a permanent marker around the tip will give you some contrast to see excess putty.
Hi Angel, the new tool kits are being phased in. If you got to the DAC website and click on a kit then scroll through the thumbnails you will see which tool kit comes with that canvas. 🙂
I placed an order and paid for it and immediately it was restocked, cancelled and refunded. My husband placed an order and paid for it. Immediately it was restocked, cancelled and no refund. They took his money and ran. I ran out of a color in train of Dreams and my daughter sent them an email asking since I have been banned. They asked for the order number and she gave it to them. They apparently looked it up and saw it was under my name and they banned her from the group. This was suppose to be for my grandson’s birthday who will be very disappointed. Now I can’t finish it. I thought these paintings come with a lifetime warranty. Big lie!!!
Ohh that’s interesting but I find the DAC kits too expensive for my budget I also use gorilla tack for my pen nibs it’s absolutely amazing and so so cheap a pack last me over a year I use it for making press on nails too so if your just using it for DP it’ll last 2 years a pack 😊
