As I was kitting up one of my diamond paintings, I was dealing with drills flying around with static, so thought I would do a quick video on how to deal with them. 😊
Thanks for sharing this tip, Grace. I just always pour all my diamonds on the dryer sheet (I'm afraid to take a chance 😁). It's amazing how well it works. I hope you're having a great day 💖💖

Thank you this just helped me so much! I was opening new bags and almost every single bag had static. There was one bag that was so bad, the drills literally popped right out of the bag and all over my desk 🙉🙊. Took me forever to pick each drill up and into the container 🤦🏽♀️

I saw you were picking them up 1 at a time... If you push them together in a pile ..lay your finger on top on alot of them... they will stick to the bottom of your finger & then you can scrape them on the side of the container your putting them in & they all fall into it... You may want to try this idea....have a good nite & good luck with the drills...

That's what I normally do, but I had a cotton cloth underneath my drills, and I couldn't get them to push into a pile - I need to remember not to have something like that underneath next time 😊 Thank you for taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it!!

Grace, great video. When you use the dryer sheets on the drills, do you have trouble picking the drills up with the wax pen & laying them down on the canvas? When i used the dryer sheets I had lots of drills that would not stick to the wax. Just wondered if this happens to you.
@gbmaltese
5 жыл бұрын
I have been using the dryer sheets for months and have never had a problem with picking them up. Not sure why it happens with yours.... I have heard that some people put their drills in the freezer for 15 minutes or more, and then pour them into their storage containers - maybe you could try that. Good luck - staticky drills are so frustrating!! 😊💗
