HELP!!! DIY What glue to use Rhinestones to Metal?
I've already tried:
1: Gem-Tac - Does NOT work on metal, almost moves like water, beads up & rolls away (like oil on water)
2: Aleene's Glass & Bead Bond - TOO thick for tiny rhinestones, a nightmare ....
3: 5 Second nail glue - It's 'OK' but you can only do VERY, VERY SMALL areas at a time because it dries so fast.
Thank you!!

I actually have a little machine that heats up the backing, which in turn melts and then it dries to whatever material you have to stick it to.

That machine is for the 'Hot-Fix' rhinestones that glue is on the back of them already. I didn't buy those, just the plain foil backing, not Hot-Fix stones.
Thank you for trying!

I tried to glue crystals to metal, and the only thing that worked for me was to get those glue dots. That way they didn't lose their sparkle.
