How to Use

  1. Protect your work surface and test the glue on scrap materials.
  2. Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Ensure surfaces and embellishment backs are clean and free from dust, oils and dirt.
  3. Apply a small amount of glue, sufficient to cover the back of the embellishment.
  4. Position gently without pressing hard, to help prevent glue squeezing out or soaking through the fabric.
  5. Leave undisturbed and allow 24 hours to cure before use.

Choosing Rhinestones: Gem-Tac works best with non-hot-fix flat back rhinestones. Hot-fix stones have a heat-activated adhesive backing that may not bond well with this glue.

Washing and Care: Beacon specifies hand washing for Gem-Tac projects. Allow the glue to cure fully, wash gently without excessive water and follow the care instructions for the fabric and embellishments.

Project Idea: Add rhinestone details to a costume, decorate a fabric bag with sequins or attach pearl embellishments to a hair accessory.
