Interesting hot rhinestone applicator
Added 2024-12-08 01:40:11 +0000 UTCAnother mass produced technical delight. Someone suggested I look at one of these, but I can't remember who it was.
The device has a very functional construction inside that is reminiscent of a glue gun, which kinda fits, since it does heat the rhinestones to melt the layer of hot melt glue on the back.
I liked this enough that I bought another one. I could see other uses than studding gems on clothing.
