![]() To overcome this you can either leave the glue for a minute of two to thicken and then apply the crystals, or start from the bottom of the curve/slope and work upwards, that way the crystal have no where to slide to. It’s also a lot thinner than e6000 in consistency so if there is a great deal of curvature on the surface you are crystallizing or it’s a vertical face the crystals can run down the adhesive especially if they are a bigger size crystals. Gemtac on the other hand is white when it’s first applied and turn clear when it sets. It’s thick in consistency so if you apply it too thickly crystals will get bogged under the glue and stay that way once set. For this tutorial I have used e6000 which is an industrial strength glue, but has very strong fumes with some nasty chemicals in. There are 2 adhesives that are mainly used for converse, Gemtac and e6000 both of which provide a strong bond when the surface is prepared correctly. Converse boots / trainers / shoes: To add the crystals to. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol): Used for degreasing a surface by removing any traces of oil and grease and dries very quickly.Ĩ. Orange stick: Small wooden stick used for pushing back cuticles.ħ. Piece of cotton cloth / hanky: Cotton is ideal because it doesn’t leave fibres behind when you wipe a surface.Ħ. ![]() ![]() It should be used in a well ventilated area with a mask for protection from the harmful fumes. e6000 adhesive: This is an industrial strength craft adhesive that’s very strong, flexible, waterproof and clear in colour. Sand Paper / Emery board: You will either require a small piece of fine sandpaper or an emery board.Ĥ. Jewel setter: This is a plastic wand with a wax bud one side and pointed end the other, it makes picking up rhinestones very simple. Swarovski flatback rhinestones NON-HOTFIX: size ss12 (3.2mm), ss16 (4mm) or ss20 (5mm) for this tutorial I have used ss16 rhinestones on a size 12 child’s converse trainer.
