Gem Tac Glue by Beacon
We have tested many glues on the market and found this to be the most consistent, easiest and trouble-free glue on the market. Gem-Tac is a high-quality, acrylic adhesive that remains flexible upon drying, dries clear, and is supplied in an easy-to-use applicator bottle. If used correctly, it adheres to fabrics, clean metals, paint, glass, and plastic. If using with hard surfaces, be sure to clean the area with alcohol before applying glue. Perfect for attaching stones to garments, cell phones, calculators, personal assistants, ceramic, glass, metal, or paint. Gem Tac is not suitable for affixing rhinestones to surfaces that dip below freezing temperatures.
We prefer the 2oz bottle as glue does go bad. Why waste? Please do NOT order this product if there is a danger of it freezing in your mail box before you pick it up!!!!!! (Winter warning)
GemTac Glue 2 oz with Micro Tip Applicator ................................................ $ 5.95
Rhinestone Applicator Sticks
Applicator Sticks: Nothing more than toothpicks with Dental Wax on one end.
To use, bring wax to about 98-100 degrees (I hold the sticks under my neck until warm) and roll into desired point...the smaller the stone, the sharper the point. Place glue on stone destination point, lightly touch the right side of the stone with the point of the applicator stick, and gently push into glue. Roll stick between fingers as you pull back and the stone stays where you put it, move on to next stone. NO more cleaning tweezers, etc. Allows very fast rhinestone application. Sold in packs of 2 or more
.................................. $ 1.10 each (2.20 per pair)
Long Applicator sticks for those who like to keep their rhinestones in deeper jars or containers.
This applicator stick is our great dental wax on a LOLLIPOP stick that is longer.
.....................$1.50 each
Tacky Tape / Transfer Paper
Tacky Tape: Highest quality Acrylic tape with waffle backing, used to make Iron On transfers, 12 1/2" wide, sold by the running yard. Has white, waffle backing, our choice for transfer production. Has the perfect tack to hold stones in place...not too much, not too little. (See 'how to make your own heat transfers' for complete instructions on its use)

Kandi Kane
Kandi Crystal Crafter:
Made for the hobby crafter, comes with 6SS, 10SS, 16SS, 20SS, and 34SS tips, 4mm flat tip and 9mm flat tip...plug and play! Good for light weight stoning, but in our opinion, too light weight to successfully mount 34SS stones ...takes too long! But a good buy for the money.

Commercial Equipment DK Series
Professional DK16 and DK20
The DK Series is the perfect fit for Commercial setups. These units have high resale value, are quality heat presses, fully adjustable, solid units. The only difference is the size of the platen. The 14X16” platen is the most popular Press for rhinestone applications. Either unit will need its own 115V circuit to operate. (You don’t have to rewire your shop or home, but you cannot operate anything else on that circuit while using the heat press…it will trip your circuit breaker. Check your circuit breaker box to make sure that you have at least 15 Amp circuits (the DK20 should have a 20Amp circuit breaker for safety) Call Us if you have questions about how to set these units up.
