Yes, you can! While Hotfix rhinestones are designed for heat application on fabric, you can also use a strong adhesive to attach them to other surfaces, such as plastic, glass, or metal.

Yes. Once properly applied with heat, Hotfix rhinestones bond permanently to fabric and will not come off easily. However, the adhesive is specifically formulated for fabric, so they are not recommended for hard surfaces unless glued separately.

To maintain the rhinestones' shine and adhesion, follow these washing instructions:

Turn the garment inside out before washing.

Use cold or warm water only (avoid hot water).

Wash on a gentle cycle (or normal cycle for front loaders).

Avoid using pre-wash stain removers directly on or around the rhinestones, as some chemicals may weaken the adhesive.

Air-drying is recommended, but if using a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.

Hotfix rhinestones are designed for fabric because their heat-activated glue bonds best with fibers. For surfaces like leather, paper, or plastic, you will need a separate rhinestone adhesive for proper adhesion.

Yes, but with caution. If using a household iron:

Turn off steam and set it to a medium-high heat (cotton setting).

Place a pressing cloth over the rhinestones to protect them.

Press firmly for 10-15 seconds without moving the iron.

Let the fabric cool completely before handling.

Yes, if applied correctly, CrystaX Hotfix rhinestones will stay secure even after multiple washes. Following proper washing and drying instructions will help preserve their longevity.

Yes, but keep in mind that excessive stretching may cause rhinestones to crack or detach over time. It's best to use a test piece before applying to ensure good adhesion.

Yes! You can combine Hotfix and non-Hotfix rhinestones in the same design by using heat for the Hotfix stones and glue for the non-Hotfix stones on non-fabric surfaces.
