HOTFIX CARE GUIDE
Our hotfix rhinestones has a high-quality glue pre-applied on their back, when heated to 171°C (340°F) for 40 seconds, it creates a strong bond for the hotfix rhinestones to be attached to the fabric. It is recommended to do a small test on a similar fabric first.
How to apply hotfix rhinestone with regular household iron
- For optimal results please pre heat your iron to 171°C (340°F) or cotton/ high temperature.
- Place the rhinestone in position on your garment. You may find it helpful to use tweezers for precision.
- To protect your iron, garment and surrounding materials we advise to sandwich the hotfix and garment between baking paper while ironing. This will help protect both the rhinestone and the garment.
- Press the iron onto the rhinestone through the baking paper for about 40 seconds. Ensure to apply firm, even pressure and do not move the iron to prevent the rhinestone to move away from the correct position.
- Remove the iron and let the rhinestone cool down before checking its attachment.
Tips for applying and after care
