Product Overview

Figure 1: Crelando Rhinestone Applicator with Stand

This image shows the Crelando Rhinestone Applicator. It features a bright pink handle, a metallic heating element, and a small, foldable metal stand for safe placement during use. The tip of the applicator is designed to hold and heat rhinestones, allowing for precise application.

The Crelando Rhinestone Applicator consists of:

• Heating Element: The metal part that heats up to melt the adhesive on rhinestones.
• Applicator Tips: Interchangeable tips designed to pick up and apply rhinestones of various sizes and shapes.
• Handle: Ergonomically designed for comfortable grip.
• Power Cord: Connects the applicator to an electrical outlet.
• Metal Stand: Provides a safe resting place for the hot applicator during and after use.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Place Stand: Set up the metal stand on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
3. Select Tip: Choose the appropriate applicator tip for the size and shape of the rhinestone you intend to use. The tips are designed to fit snugly over the rhinestone.
4. Attach Tip: Screw the selected tip onto the heating element of the applicator. Ensure it is securely fastened but do not overtighten.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The applicator will begin to heat up immediately.
6. Pre-heating: Allow the applicator to pre-heat for approximately 2-3 minutes. The tip will become very hot.

Operating Instructions

Before starting, ensure your working surface is clean and protected. Test on a scrap piece of material first if you are unsure about the application process or material compatibility.

1. Prepare Material: Lay your garment, bag, or accessory flat on a firm, heat-resistant surface.
2. Position Rhinestone: Place the rhinestone (adhesive side down) onto the desired location on your material. Alternatively, you can pick up the rhinestone directly with the hot applicator tip.
3. Apply Heat: Gently press the hot applicator tip onto the rhinestone. The heat will melt the adhesive on the back of the rhinestone.
4. Hold Time: Hold the applicator in place for approximately 10-20 seconds, depending on the size of the rhinestone and the material. You may see the adhesive bubble slightly, indicating it is melting.
5. Remove Applicator: Carefully lift the applicator straight up from the rhinestone. Avoid sliding it, as this can dislodge the rhinestone.
6. Cool Down: Allow the rhinestone to cool completely before handling the material. This ensures the adhesive sets properly.
7. Repeat: Continue applying rhinestones one by one until your design is complete. Always place the applicator on its stand when not actively applying.

Tip: For best results, ensure the material is clean and free of lint or dust. Some delicate fabrics may require a lower heat setting or shorter application time, though this applicator has a fixed temperature. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your applicator.

• Cleaning: Ensure the applicator is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the handle and heating element with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Tip Cleaning: If adhesive residue builds up on the tips, gently scrape it off with a non-metallic tool (e.g., a wooden toothpick) once the tip is cool. Do not use sharp metal objects that could damage the tip.
• Storage: Store the applicator and its accessories in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the tips organized to prevent loss.
• Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the applicator. Store it loosely to prevent damage.
