Application

 

 

 

 

Cooling

It takes about 5 minutes for the glue to cool down after the application. After this time, the stones are fixed to the base material. 

Curing

The glue should cure for 24 hours to get firm and durable. Do not handle or wash the textile material during this period.

Care

Textile material with applies stones can be washed at 60℃. tumble dried, dry-cleaned and carefully ironed.

 

Shape of the Base Material

Base material without a flat area (rounded, dome-shaped surface) or under bending stress in the application area (e.g, zippers) is not suitable for applying big stones in particular.

Pressure

The application pressure depends on the chosen Hotfix Stones, base material and technical equipment (applicator & machine etc.). Choosing an appropriate pressure when applying the hotfix stones is another of decisive factors for a high-quality bond between the stone and the base material. It is recommended to test the pressure on a material sample.

Low pressure - the glue does not adhere

 

Optimal pressure - the glue adheres without spreading out

Pressure too high - the glue spreads out
