John, I've used the old sticks, loved them and can't find them either. I,ve gone to "Testors" paint applicators made for modelers. It is a liquid rather than a stick but it fills and covers nicely. I get mine from a local hobby shop so you might try that. You could also try online search. Another alternative is auto touch up paint-not as good as Testors but will work. Good luck!

I’m stamping/ paint filling some wedges and the acrylic paint tends to want to disappear when I try and clean up the area around the stamping with acetone. Any ideas?
