This is a great question, I'm not really sure though. If you sink them into hot worbla you might create bubbles and have issues painting it later.

I guess do a test with both ways and see what seems to be the best way that works for your project.

I believe "Hot Fix" is the term to describe applying rhinestones with an adhesive on the back of them that actives when heat is applied. For example Swarovski has hot fix and non hot fix rhinestone options but if a stone does not have the hot fix glue it will not work with heating it up to apply. I've never purchased dollar store gems before but any gem that works with the hot fix tool will say on the package that it has heat activated glue on the back of it.

It depends on what method you are using, if you use hotfix you will want to test it on the material first to find its burning level so you don't hold it too long and burn the end product. Otherwise, if you use gemtac you don't have to worry about burning but you should still do a test to make sure it doesn't discolor the fabric.

I think it's important to note that while e6000 is toxic AF if you are not going to be working for extended periods too often you are fine. And worst case, you simply wear a respirator. It's important to note that depending on the surface, E6000 may last longer in the long run. Less porous materials like plastics or metals, for example, would benefit from something like E6000. I like to think about the surface I'm gluing on, the size of the stones, and the wear or use the garment or project will have (for example burlesque costume pieces gets thrown on the floor constantly VS say a cosplay or drag queen costume). I wouldn't feel too confident using just gem-tac for stones larger than ss34.

I mention 2 kinds in the video so I am not exactly sure which one you are referring to, but e6000 is the highly toxic glue that leaves a residue on silk and GemTac is the safe alternative that dries clear, this is the one that I personally use.

Can the heat tool burn your fabric?
@CaseyReneeCosplay3 жыл бұрын
Yes it can, which is why it's important to do a test on a piece of scrap fabric before doing it on the final object, I'd also recommend figuring out the melting point on each and every type of fabric you use so you stop holding the tool to the fabric at the right time.

Very cool. I'm thinking of the hott tool to add rhinestones to a plain veil I want for a wedding renewal. The stones I have are for nail applications, do you think that would work? TY
@CaseyReneeCosplay2 жыл бұрын
The hot tool will only work with Hot fix rhinestones that have the glue on the back of the stone. I'm assuming the nail application rhinestones are not hot fix because that would burn the nail. I'd recommend just getting glue to apply the rhinestones unless you want to buy hot fix rhinestones to go with the hot tool.

do the rhinestones come off in the wash??

I hand wash all of the costumes that I can physically wash and therefore no, but the majority of my costumes do not get washed but get spot cleaned and fabreezed or vodka sprayed to kill any bacteria.

@@marymcdowelll the bottle says it's permanent, most fabric glues are pretty sturdy in the wash. If you buy shirts at the store that have rhinestones and wash them, they don't come off, I think this would be the same scenario. I want to make rhinestone heels so I'm gonna try this glue out too lol

Hmmm, I don't know what you mean? I actually talk in depth about using glue instead of hotfix as using gemtac is my preferred method to rhinestoning not hotfix.

Can you use glue for hotfix stones? I bought a bunch of expensive hotfix preciosa stones and I heard hotfix is more complicated than just glueing it in. This is my first rodeo so I want to go with the easiest option :)

I’ve used gem tac with hot fix crystals & it worked fine. The only difference I noticed is that the hot fix crystals are heavier than non hot fix ones so I did need to use a more generous amount of glue than normal 💖
