HotFix Applicator Instructions

1. Use the correct size tip (3mm tip for 3mm crystals, 4mm tip for 4mm crystals).
2. Work on a firm surface (countertop, etc - an ironing board cover does not give you enough support).
3. Turn on the HotFix Applicator. Wait about 2 minutes for the tool to heat up thoroughly.
4. With the crystals face up on your work surface and a very light touch pick up the crystal. Do not force the crystal into the tip or it will get stuck. If you listen carefully, most of the time you will hear a little click when the crystal is in the tip properly.
5. Twist your wrist slightly so you can watch the glue melt (this is VERY important - watch the glue as it melts for correct timing).
6. Times are approximate, but for a 3mm crystal it should take about 8 seconds, and about 10 - 12 seconds for a 4mm crystal.
   Please note: You will see the glue start looking wet, it will start to get shiny, it will start to bubble. Outside rim to center of the crystal.
7. As soon as the crystal starts to bubble, it is ready to apply to your fabric.
8. Support the area of the fabric that you want the crystal on with the hand not holding the applicator. This is very important. The fabric is pulling the crystal out of the tip - you are not "sticking" the crystal onto the fabric.
9. Lightly touch the fabric with the glue end of the crystal. Do not use any pressure, or again you could force the crystal into the tip.
10. Pull the applicator away from the fabric - the fabric will pull the crystal out of the tip.
11. The crystal comes out VERY hot. Give it a few seconds to cool off, and then gently test it with your fingernail. It should be securely applied. If the crystal appears lose, rest the applicator tip on top of the crystal for a few more seconds to firmly secure the crystal to the tip.
