Can you please be specific? Was it that the black dots on the paddle were printed poorly, the paddle itself was junky, the die was cheaply made, or other things.
I own the original and though it is suitable for performances, the quality of that set left something to be desired. My issue was that the spots were printed cheaply. It is certainly good enough to use though! Please keep in mind that for these days, the retail price is rather inexpensive. Hence, a lesser affordable quality. |

The edges were sharp and uneven (bits of plastic tagging off at certain edges/not sanded). The ink was fair. The paddle's dots were inked off the mark. This could perhaps be improved if you purchased Dicey Dots and: purchased also a normal set of dice and gaffed them with a common office staple designed for correcting mistakes, and painted in the paddle's dots. |

Thanks for the details. Sounds sloppy and not as good as the originals from Daryl.
Not sure that your suggested solution would work because of the thickness of the whiteout consistency, especially when it dries. By the way, the dots printed on the original stick were not perfectly centered down the length of the stick. |

There is black ink, generally, in the dots, but the printing is not exact. I am trying to imagine the way Daryl originally created the trick, and I would use real dice and a prettier dotted paddle. I would imagine the great benefit of purchasing Dicey Dots is Daryl's routine itself, as the props are easily replicable. |
