On Wednesdays, We Talk Wax: Quakehold Museum Putty || How to load and use, tips & tricks, pros/cons

[@spooklucy]

Just tried this putty today and absolutely love it. Thank you for the tips.

[@YeseniaDiamondPaintz]

This is the first time hearing about museum putty. I do regularly use wall mounting putty and scented ones from small businesses but also Glue Dots over the traditional wax for single placer. Thank you so much for making this video. I think I will try out museum putty. Aleene's putty is another brand that I've heard good reviews about and would like to try as well.

[@unknown_3551]

Thanks so much for telling us about the putty. I am very happy to know i can use this amazing product and it won’t leave residue like the wax. ❤️

[@denisedongilli3388]

Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I tried it and didn’t like it but after watching your example, I am going to try it again.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

You’re more than welcome, Denise! Let me know if you have any better luck using it ☺️

[@almostfall80sbaby]

Thank you for all of your videos. I have learned so much. I bought Quakehold Museum Putty when you mentioned it in another one your videos and I love it! Thanks for the tips!

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad they’ve been helpful for you. Please let me know if you’re looking for tips or suggestions on anything else in particular - I’m always happy to help! And I’m so glad the museum putty is working so well for you. It’s definitely a favorite of mine!

[@candice2775]

Thank you for this video. Very few show how to load the pen, the just say load pen.

[@YouCanCallMeButter]

I haven’t tried this, but I’ve tried Blu Tac. It was just ok. I’ve been curious about the Quake Hold though. Thanks for showing this.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

You know, I’ve heard really mixed things about Blu Tac, though I haven’t tried it myself. I do know a few people that specifically didn’t care for the Blu Tac but found the museum putty worked much better for them. Might be worth a shot if you’re looking to try something new! ☺️

[@Sandrawest64]

The stuff I have been using is very similar. It's called removable mounting putty. I actually purchased it to put on the bottom of our vases and other fragile items on the top of our bookshelves, where the cats like to run at night (and knock crap off with the their big fuzzy tails).

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Those darn cats 😂 Yes! That’s the original use for this stuff, too. It’s nice to have an inexpensive option!

[@jeezy2day]

Yay! I just ordered this and I’m so excited! I’ve heard people say museum putty before and I had no idea what they were talking about! Thank you for making a video on this and I will let you know how it goes. I have been using poster tack from the dollar tree and I love the idea but I’m hoping this will have a better hold and less residue. I’m new to your channel and I love your voice and content so far!

[@beejayem42]

Interestingly, I have found this product works best for me in a single placer and not my 3 placer. I’m using the everlasting tips. Enjoyed your video! 🐨

[@DiamondsandWashi]

That’s really interesting, Beverly! Isn’t it funny how differently we find that different products work for each of us? I’ll have to give it another try in my everlasting single placer - maybe I shouldn’t have skipped it for this video. Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@jaclynresendez1104]

Thanks for the video! I need to try this one again.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Yes!! Do you have some already? If not, I can send you some of mine!

[@tiggerbear3]

I love museum putty. It’s my favorite. I’ve been using it for a long time

[@LisasColoringCorner]

I realize this video is from this past January, but is this putty still your favorite? Have you ever tried glue dots? They are my favorite right now so I was wondering if you have tried them and if you still prefer the putty over them?

[@BevBee]

Oooh I've always wanted to try the museum putty! Thanks for the video!

[@DiamondsandWashi]

I hear it’s a bit expensive to buy in Canada (from another commenter here). I wonder if there’s another similar style of putty that would work the same, but be less expensive?

[@BevBee]

@@DiamondsandWashi It's not too bad, I mean $16 on Amazon Canada and if a package will last ya forever it might be worth it! Some people spend $16 just trying out different DIY waxes from Etsy! So a tried and true putty would be worth it!

[@mymindfuldiamondpainting]

For loading the pens, all you have to do is push your multi-placer into the putty & rock it back and forth. It will load clean. For single tips, load as if you would load with pink wax

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Oh gosh, Angie, I’m really glad you commented. I feel really silly that that hadn’t even occurred to me! I wonder if I’d originally tried that, way back when I first got it, and it didn’t come out cleanly for whatever reason? I’ll have to give that a try tomorrow. Thank you!!

[@deidrawebb8425]

@@DiamondsandWashi did it work??

[@karenolivier9537]

That's great for the multiplacer! Thank you, I have tons. For the single placer I use the micro glue dots, those work best for me.

[@Tink-Tink]

I'm using only blue tack, as well buying from Amazon - UK . I tryd pink wax, jus can't work with it 😔 now I have huge collection with it ☺️😉 And now ordered diferent tipe of wax just to try can I work with something else not only with blue tack ☺️ will see, fingers crossed 🤞

[@judygarnhum2992]

Thanks again, you have super hints!! Judy the Canadian in Nova Scotia

[@amandaguild2390]

Loved your videos. I looked up the diamond pen site you linked but they don’t ship to Australia😏 where do you get the everlasting tips from please. I can’t find them😏❤️

[@Naomithegnome]

So I bought a package of Blu Tack off Amazon, and it worked great at first but now it’s gone gooy like. When I load it its fine but then this leaves a gross blu stuff all on the edges of the drills. I have been looking for the original paddy wax but it seems Robyns is not making it anymore, WeeWax is taking a break for now. I really don’t like the pink stuff they put in so of the snax kits and I reach out and tried small shop Waxy DP. That is what’s popping up all over Etsy right now if I don’t know how to look in the right places. Wasn’t a real fan of the Waxy DP it s very hard. It’s smells wonderful comes in a cute tin, but good golly get a jack 🔨. Coming up on a year of DP and loving my me time but I don’t knock as many as you, you are amazing

[@diannanatale1263]

Can I use glue dots in my multiplacer?

[@katheyspence6229]

I just saw this video and its helped me cause I didn't know how to load my pen with the puddy

[@klutterinkolor1329]

For single placing I ONLY ever use my bead vacuum in combo w/my custom clay pens so no wax is ever needed. Now having tried using the putty in my multi-placers, I will not be going back to wax. The Putty is perfect for me. Thank you for drawing our attention to it. #ForeverPuttyPlacer :)

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Yay! I'm glad that works so well for you! 💛

[@kennethmoore153]

Using quakehold putty, if you make an error and need to remove a dot or line dots up at end of project, can they me replaced or moved?

[@marthabeck7114]

I’ve ordered the museum putty to try. I wanted to try notcha mamas mud but can’t get it.

[@karenolivier9537]

Thank you Katie ❤

[@barbaralecombe9261]

Hi my is Barbara Lacombe I am going to do one of painting first time the one you do is so fun so I will see you soon.

[@lindseyjulian8219]

I ordered some putty and I can't get it to start inside of my rose gold metal tips. Every time I put drills down, it sticks to the drills and comes out of the metal tip completely. Any suggestions?

[@life.w.lindsay1274]

Have you used any of the other "putty" types? Curious if they all work the same

[@DiamondsandWashi]

I haven’t! Hmm, I should give some others a try, just to see. I know a couple small shops offer a putty-style “wax” but I haven’t tried ordering from them yet.

[@lisemariejohansen3245]

Yay i found your video😀 Thank you for a good video😍👍

[@marjc1233]

Thank you for sharing this alternative. I have seen painters swear by quakehold clear gel, same company I guess. Have you tried it and how does it compare with the putty? TIA 😊

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Hi there! You know, I haven’t had the chance to try the clear gel. I’ll see if I can order it and test it out for you! ☺️ Thank you for the suggestion!

[@marjc1233]

@@DiamondsandWashi we will be waiting 😊 thank you so much!

[@diannanatale1263]

Can I use the museum putty in my single placer?

[@kristyl6124]

I have used the pink wax and it sucks. It doesn’t last very long. I just started using the quake and it does last a long time but is a pain to load. On a side note, what do you do to keep your dots lined up near? Mine seem to go crooked.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Hi Kristy! Pink wax can be tricky, and I definitely find that the darker the wax, the better it tends to be. If you're asking about how to keep them lined up straight while multiplacing, I actually put together a little tutorial with some tips and tricks. You're welcome to take a look and I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Ormqqwm9Z5jNk

[@kristyl6124]

@@DiamondsandWashi awesome! Thank you.

[@ellentaylor8857]

Is your large multiplacer at an angle? It looks slightly slanted. Sorry if you already answered this question. New subscriber to your channel.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Hi Ellen! Welcome! 🥰 I tend to hold my pen at an angle when I’m multiplacing, and so I’m picking up drills at a bit of an angle as well. I don’t actually (purposely) put my multiplacer in the pen at an angle, though. I hope that made sense!

[@debirice7047]

Thank you for the tips. ❤️ I’m going to try the quake hold.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

I hope they helped! Let me know how it works out for you ☺️

[@Chaos.and.cross.stitch]

I've been meaning to try quakehold. But it's like $15 in Canada lol

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Oh geez, that’s excessive! 😆 I wonder if there’s a similar putty-style “wax” that you could get in Canada for much less expensive?

[@Chaos.and.cross.stitch]

@@DiamondsandWashi we wouldn't have anything up here that you couldn't get in the US. If it that's as long as you think it will the $ won't really matter lol I might still end up getting it. At some point...I went on a wax buying craze a few months ago that I still need to get too

[@DiamondsandWashi]

@@Chaos.and.cross.stitch Oh gosh, I have a wax stash to get through too! And for what it’s worth, I’ve been using the museum putty for 8-9 months and have barely used a bit of the one corner, so it definitely lasts awhile, haha!

[@80simplegirl80]

I use blue tac. I just stabbed my tips and multiplacer on it

[@DiamondsandWashi]

I’ve heard good things about Blu Tack! I’ll have to give it a try ☺️

[@marciasilverman6855]

This question has nothing to do with types of wax. I was wondering when it comes to diamond painting with sparklers, does Tina accept Pay Pal has payment for sparklers? I have never ordered sparklers before.

[@DiamondsandWashi]

I’m so sorry that I didn’t see this earlier, Marcia! I often don’t get the chance to read and respond to comments until after I get my kids to bed. I saw that you heard back from DP with Sparklers and you’re all set to go. Let me know what you end up getting!

[@marciasilverman6855]

@@DiamondsandWashi I understand your situation and it's okay. I appreciate that you got back to me and i will let you know what i get. There's so many beautiful colors to choose from.

I think most places accept PayPal now but that's how I paid when I got my sparklers so she does for sure♡
