rhinestone setter versus hot fix

20 years ago

I would like to get started crafting with rhinestones and have been trying to research whether to go with a setter or hot fix. Does hot fix limit what you can put rhinestones on? I would assume you can use a setter on just about anything cause the rhinestones would be clamped on whereas the hot fix is only glued on.

Thank you!

six of one, half a dozen of the other - I know that the hot fix works just fine on spandex (there would be no fancy skating costumes otherwise) and personally, I'm more likely to get my hair or something caught in a 'caged' stone than I am to pick at the adhesive of a glued stone...

and let me tell you, that hot-set adhesive is NOTHING like a glue gun - it's actually pretty tough stuff :)
