Caret Down
High quality CrystAX Rhinestones are 12 faceted machine cut crystals.  These rhinestones have a heat-activated adhesive already applied to the back side of the crystal, and are best used with fabric-based projects. However it can be applied to anywhere using glue.   FAQ Can I also use glue to adhere the hot-fix rhinestones ?  - Yes, you can.  Are hot fix rhinestones permanent? -Since there’s already glue on the Hot-fix rhinestones, all you need to do is apply heat. You have to be careful when using Hot-fix rhinestones because once applied, it’s permanent and will not come off your material. Hot-fix rhinestones are only recommended for fabric. How do you wash clothes with rhinestones? -Turn your garment inside out, use warm or cold water only, and wash on gentle cycle (normal cycle for front loaders). DO NOT use a pre-wash product on or around the rhinestones because some of these products can soften the glue.   Please feel free to contact us for further questions : usa@axiland.com

CrystaX High-Quality Hotfix Rhinestones – FAQ

CrystaX (CS) Rhinestones are 12-16 faceted machine-cut crystals with a heat-activated adhesive pre-applied to the back. They are primarily designed for fabric-based projects, but they can also be applied to other surfaces using glue.

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.

Is Your Fabric Suitable for Hotfix Rhinestones? Perform the Water Drop Test!

The water drop test is a quick and easy method to evaluate the absorbency of a carrier material before applying Hotfix rhinestones.

1️⃣ Apply a few drops of water onto the material.

2️⃣ Observe the reaction:

If the water is quickly absorbed, the material has good absorbency and is suitable for Hotfix application. ✅

If the water forms droplets (pearls off) or takes too long to absorb, the material has insufficient absorbency. This may affect the effectiveness of Hotfix adhesion. ❌
