How NOT to clean your dotting tools! | How I clean mine

🧼 I keep seeing pictures on Facebook of dotting tools after they've been soaked in rubbing alcohol. I'm retiring a set of my dotting tools so that all of my tools match and I can give you the sizes I use much easier. Now, when you see a certain color you'll know exactly what size it is! So, I figured why not give this soaking a try with these old dotting tools!
I also show you how I clean my dotting tools! In all fairness I really don't ever do this. Deep in my imagination I believe that dirty tools give me some "street cred!" HA HA! But, I've never seen an artist with perfectly clean tools! But, I will totally admit it is very nice having a pretty clean set! I'll try to keep that up.... try!
I hope you guys enjoy this video as we transition between the fall holidays and winter holidays!!! Wait until you guys see what I have on Wednesday... it's a whole new type of video and I'm in love with making them.

I kept seeing on Facebook and the 6 year old in me had to see it for myself… lol!!! I wonder if it cracks up acrylic rods too? When I get new ones I might just have to see 🤣

@@JaDeLRocks lol, pretty sure the skinny ones will break into bits. And tell your 6yo self to stop breaking stuff or your mom’s gonna get her!

@@katguyot6351 I’m cracking up 😂

Great video. I had the same thing happen to my tools when I let them soak too long!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Crazy eh? I noticed this morning that the white tool was also very cloudy. So strange.

[@jamn4God]

I just use water and dish soap on all my dotting tools and brushes. Haven't had any problems yet.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think that’s the best way to go 👍🏻

[@marciabignell6221]

Why would you need alcohol to clean them? I just use water to wash them off after use and they are just fine.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think sometimes you get little splatters here and there and it adds up over time. The alcohol makes it easier to remove dried paint. You can just wipe off wet paint. 👍🏻

Your sounds effects crack me up 🤣,

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol!!! Perfect/Awesome!!

[@pjayrob1]

Totally annihilated 😂😂

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol.. was kinda fun 😂😂😂

[@karenlongworth8428]

Don't soak. Just dip the metal end wipe with cloth

[@JaDeLRocks]

Perfect solution ♥️

I am....what???? your tools don't even look dirty lol. ok, maybe just a bit. But really, I can't count the number of times I have seen ppl post that their tools broke. If they came with instructions on how to clean, would we read them? probably not lol What I really need is a tutorial on how to clean my paint brushes. do you have one?

[@JaDeLRocks]

No I don’t but you are so right! The last time I was at the hobby store I saw “brush restorer.” I was like… hmmmmmm I don’t use brushes often but it’s becoming a thing for me. I’d make a video but it would be dumb.. lol, me running water over my brush 😂😂 There’s bound to be more for sure. We need an expert Puff… I did find this cool trick 👉🏻 kzbin.infoSCyWDssQZPY?feature=share
