I am not able to get the stones to adhere to the clothing with the hotfix tool. I am using hotfix stones...

I have found the tool easy to use but you have to make sure you are using the correct size applicator tip. If it's not the right size you will definitely have problems. I have also had to hold the tool to the fabric a little longer than the normal range. But then it works great!

I do not have sand stone so I'm not able to help. I suggest contacting the company.

I am using hot glue but it is not working. I will contact Amazon for possible return or replacement.

I use a metal peel and have not had any problems with it getting caught on the stones.

Yes you can definitely use it for Hotfix Rhinestones, I press Rhinestones all the time. I've never tried nailhead transfers, but if they are a hot fix, then it will work.

I held the paper towel with polish remover on my nails and then gently pushed the stones off. It is not hard just took some time. It also depends on how much top coat you use.

I bought it in a combo pack with an ultrasonic cleaner and it said no on glue and no composite or porous gemstones.

I just got mine and have the same problem. Was thinking I could put the s-ring in the pre-made fabric loop.. but that doesn't seem safe.

This worked for me on sapphire crystal and diamonds, but I am not sure it would work for other gems.

Yes. We have alot customers purchase hotfix on accident and you can use the Gem Tac or the E6000 glue on them. Thank you TamisPlace

Only if the flat back of the rhinestone has the meltable glue. This tool holds the rhinestone and heats it up until the glue melts, and then you press the melted glue side down onto your clothes. You then use tweezers to press the rhinestone to the fabric.

It is hard to test a stone in the setting. All the stone i have tested is without setting.

I ironed them in everything even delicates I just used another piece of cloth between the iron and what I was putting them on so the hot iron wouldn't actually touch the delicate fabric.

I use a metal peel and it works fine. The stones are holding up much better than a thinner round stone I got at WalMart.

Possibly with a very steady hand or if the gem is on a flat surface. I discarded the one I bought and bought a very high powered Jeweler's loupe. Good luck.

This can only be used with HOT FIX rhinestones. HOT FIX rhinestones are rhinestones that already comes with dried glue at the back. This gun allows you to press on the rhinestone and melt the glue at the back, thereby "sticking" the rhinestone to the surface of the fabric, or whatever you are intending to embellish. No glue needed. Its like a precision IRON for rhinestones that ALREADY come with glue.

I've used mine once and didn't like them. They rolled the edge. I use a file now and that puts a real nice edge on the blade, with minimal material loss off the blade. I still have the original stones if your interested.
