In dabbing, you’ll find that the tools you use will make a lot of difference in the process. However, there are times when you might not have a dab tool with you, or you might have misplaced it. In such cases, one must understand what alternatives could be used efficiently. In this article we will discuss several options when a dab tool is unavailable so your dabbing is not affected. Everyday things as an alternative of a dab tool Paper Clips An everyday object that you can use instead of a Dab Tool is a paper clip, easily accessible in almost every home. Paper clips are also very simple and one can twist them into any form. Take a paperclip and flatten it out, and then take one end and bend it a little to make a small scoop-like end. This will enable you to scoop your concentrate and place it on the nail conveniently. Bobby Pins Bobby pins are another helpful tool that a person can use instead of dab tools. You can convert these tiny hair accessories into a dab tool in case one is unavailable. Take off the plastic tips of the bobby pin and twist the piece so you can comfortably work with the concentrate. One should be very careful when using bobby pins since they may have some remaining hair products. 1/3
Safety Pins Safety pins can also be better used for this purpose. One can use the sharp, pointed end to pick up and transfer the concentrate onto the nail. If you want to use a safety pin as a dab tool, you will need to open it and then use the tip of the pin as your dab tool. Make sure that the safety pin is clean to prevent bacteria from entering the concentrate. Toothpicks Toothpicks are easily accessible and are a suitable alternative. They are ideal for handling small quantities of concentrate. Since they are disposable, you can use a new toothpick each time you clean them to avoid spreading germs. However, it is wise to handle the toothpick gently since it is flammable and can easily break under pressure. Glass Stir Rods However, if you have a glass stir rod, this can also serve the purpose of a dab tool. Another advantage of glass stir rods is that they resist heat and do not crack during heat exposure. Take the end of the rod and concentrate on the nail. This method is more suitable for learners who are comfortable with traditional learning methods. Wooden Skewers Another wonderful alternative is wooden sticks, which are commonly used for barbecuing. They are long and strong and can work well with the concentrate compared to the thin blades. You can use the pointed end of the stick to pick up your concentrate and place it onto the nail. Wooden skewers are easily discardable like toothpicks, which means that you will not be using the same tool to pick up the substance and apply it to your dabbing rig. Chopsticks Metal or hard wooden chopsticks can also be used as dab tools. A person can use the pointed end to manage your concentrate and put it on the nail. However, if you are using wooden chopsticks, they should be clean. Learn more about the Dab Tools: The Ultimate Guide. Metal Utensils as a Dab Tool Nail Files A metal nail file can also be used as a dab tool. The pointed end can help you pick up and place your concentration on the nail. Make sure that the nail file is clean and free from any nail dust or residues before dabbing. Other dabbing tools include small metallic tools such as a fork, knife, or spoon. Due to their solid structure, they can effectively handle numerous kinds of concentrates. For instance, one may use the side of a small spoon to take the concentrate and put it on the nail. This will reduce the cases of bacteria cross-contamination from the utensil to the concentrate and back again. Tweezers Tweezers can be a good replacement for a dab tool, especially if it has a pointed or slanted end. They enable one to pick the concentrate with ease and accuracy, making it possible to apply it on the nail without any problem. When you are ready to use the tweezers, make sure that they are clean and free of dirt or oils. Dental Tools Dental tools are also good alternatives to dab tools if you have access to them and want to use something else. Moreover, dental picks or scalers are precise instruments that can scoop a small amount of concentrate at a time. However, since a dab tool is only sometimes available, there are some ways to be creative and continue using it even when it is unavailable. Read also How Has Vaping Become So Popular?
