I have 3 of these tools and use them rather frequently to set rhinestones on very delicate tulle and illusion. I've had no problems so far, so here are some things to check: 1. Are you sure you checked the on/ off toggle on the end near the cord? The tip is extremely HOT when its on. 2. When you pick up the rhinestones with the setting tip you must wait about 30-40 seconds for the glue to melt. The melted glue will look shiny. I often use a long dressmaker pin (with the ball top) to slide thru the slit and ease the rhinestone into its proper spot on my fabric. 3. Is it possible that there is something wrong w/ the glue on your hot-fix rhinestones? 4. Have you tried plugging the tool into a different outlet? 5. If nothing works I guess you'll have to admit that the item is defective and you should get an exchange. It really is a great tool when it works. GOOD LUCK!

I would assume that you could but the heat might cause the glue holding it in place to melt (0-0) although that already happens eventually....

Burn the end with a lighter. While still hot use pliers to flatten the melted part.

I have never used this glue at high temperatures. You may want to call the company.

Your pliers need to be coated. Try tool magic it can be found in your craft shop

sorry to tell you , that you did not mix your formula properly, or the hardener lost it,s punch.Hardeners contaminate easily, and if they freeze, they loose the ability to blending ability. The solution is not so easy, seeing where your precious piece is locked in Limbo!The answer is to throw more fresh hardener at it! Put goves on and rub hardener on the piece until it hardens.

The temperature of the heating tape does not seem to be high enough to melt PEX. This is not quantitative but the tape can be easily handled. My application was with a short iron pipe so my direct operational experience is not applicable.

What's the problem? If it doesn't melt the wax, you need to turn the dial to right, and probably you should keep the cover on. If that doesn't work, are you sure the unit is getting power? Apart from that, I suppose the unit is defective - mine works fine.

Get a tape push it on the tape holder behind the cutter it should be sticky side down and pull and go under a metal holder to cutter

We've had similar things happen and my husband used a strong glue for some parts, others, he had to come up with something on his own. We ended up buying another one when it became "no longer fixable"; which we are not happy with - the previous one was terrific, why they changed it, I don't know !!! I don't know if there are any replacement parts available; you could try to contact the manufacturer.

I never tried that combination, I would try a scrap test 1st. Hope that helps

I don't know, but I suggest that you read the directions carefully and try again. Perhaps you have a defective product. There is an online video with step by step instructions you could view also.

Hi Rhonda, when you plug it in and the light flashes you need to push the button to the right of the one flashing that will set the temp and start the melting. If you did that and it still doesn't work send it back, my aunt had one that didn't heat and was able to replace it no problem. Ann

Donna is right, glue didn't work. I personally thought these were cheap and wouldn't order them again. Fyi.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.
