Stone Styler hot fix tool, Red

This is my first experience applying Hotfix Rhinestones. I purchased this tool and rhinestones to fill in missing stones on a t-shirt that I love. It was very easy to use. I was adding the smallest rhinestones (6ss) that this tool will apply. It picked up the stones perfectly, I counted to 8 which was long enough for the glue on the back of the tiny rhinestone to melt, then set the stone in place.

This tool is good. If it has a light to tell hot or not hot, it will be better to use.

Fun to use and the jewels stick well.

Great tool, but I down-rated it because it doesn't pick up rhinestones as it claims. Perhaps it's the type of stones I bought? (2078 Xirius Rose Swarovski Crystals) I've had to pick them up one by one with tweezers, place them on the tool, then place it on the fabric. I might as well have used glue & flatbacks.BUT if it happens to pick up the rhinestones you have, it is a great tool.

Very hard to get rhinestones in and out. I like gluing much better. Can’t pick up stones with it. Can’t get stones off it when youve glued them without inserting a pin in the side. Plus I often heat the (synthetic lace) fabric - which melted it.

this is the best stone setter I've found

Very good product for crafters.

Stones get stuck to tips causing the glue to melt.I tried both ss16 and ss30 and I was very disappointed that it didn’t work and I had to I use tweezers to remove the damaged stones from the tips.
