Epoxy glue
Kroxx glue
Kroxx glue remover
Kroxx glue = Nail Glue, fast drying. Once you paste cannot shift the stones if you happen to paste wrongly. Mainly used on nails. Do not contact with water if your glue is not dry up. Will have chemical reaction and turn whitish powder around the area where the glue is not dry up.
Epoxy glue = slow drying glue.
7. How much is the Epoxy glue and the Kroxx glue?
Ans:
First spree on Rhinestones, I manage to get Epoxy glue about $5.20 each set. Min order is 24sets. Each set come with 2 tube. You must mix the 2 tube tube before using. Ratio 1:1.
As for Kroxx glue, bugis street is selling about $10.00
8. How do I remove the stones, if I pasting them on my nails?
Ans:
Use Kroxx glue remover. It will dissolve the glue and you can use nail polish remover to remove it. If put too much glue you will need to use a tweezers to pluck it out.
9. After pasting, will the surface of my gadgets be discoloration or be scratched if we were to remove the crystals some time later?
Ans:
Yes. Not advisable to remove after you paste. If you want to remove, use those “stick on” sticker stones to paste.
10. How to you keep the stones?
Ans:
I shall show you how I keep mine. :)
Container 1
Container 2
Container 1 is similar to those screw top jars that you use to store cosmetics samples.
They are the same size as those screw top jars.
Each tray/box have 12 of the jars. 5g each jars.
The cover of the box is very useful, when I want to do nail arts or deco my gadgets, I will pour the stones on the cover. :)
So that no chance that the stones will drop out or misplaced.
Container 2 can keep bigger stones.
If you keep smaller stones, if you happen to drop the container, sure faint...
All the stones will be mix up...
