I'm completely new to the craft of 5D Diamond Painting, and I thought I should stock up on various items to hopefully help me, as I try it out! Well, these great little glue squares are amazing! I thought that something so small would be used up in no time - wrong! I have just finished my first picture, shown in my pic above, and have barely used a third of one square, on a 20cmx20cm canvas. So, I am going to have enough to last many, many projects from this purchase, as they are really economic in use.This glue is so very helpful when using the 'pen tool' to pick up the Diamonds 🔹because otherwise, it would be impossible to get them from a tray onto the picture on the canvas. There is a really good choice of colours supplied, and a very generous quantity included in the pack, which will be so helpful as I explore this craft!The glue squares are not like a sticky, messy 'glue', actually, and are more like a sort of tactile wax - but whatever substance they are made of, they work like a charm! It's so easy to put your pen tool into the glue square, as the glue goes into the tip so easily. The pen is quickly loaded, with no mess. Just press firmly, and the tip is full, with the rest of the glue left tidily in place. (I find using a small container helps keep the glue squares safe and handy, and the one I used in this project is still fresh and hasn't dried up or deteriorated in any way). The glue loaded in the pen tool lasts a long time, making picking up many Diamonds very easy, and ir really speeds up your work. Any excess glue easily brushes off the canvas, doesn't make any mess, and the glue doesn't obscure the individual Diamonds in any way as it is almost clear when applied. What a great idea for this craft! You would be lost without it!I am disabled and use crafts as a source of therapy and relaxation, so it's always great to find something so helpful. These glue squares arrived promptly, safely packed, and I'm delighted to recommend them to everyone who is into this craft! When I (eventually!) use these up, I will know exactly where to buy more. Highly recommended!(Please note the 'extras' in my photo are the small storage boxes, pen etc., and aren't included in the purchase. The 'Crescent Moon' picture is my first project completed using part of a yellow glue square, from this purchase. )
