I have a jar of Heat and Stick Powder and don't know how to use it. I have Pearl Ex and various glitters but don't know how to use them together. Any help would be awesome. TY
hey , so this is how u can use it..
ink a stamp with versamark pad.. stamp where u wantto use powder or glitter...pour on the heat and stick onto the inked paper... use the hat gun until it melts.. then pour on the glitter or powder b4 it drys.. quickly.. they dry in with the heat gun until glitter feels hard and not wet. doesnt take very long.
Heat and Stick allows your glitter to truly adhere without having to resort to a liquid glue. It provides a more even coverage of glitter (or Pearl Ex Powders). I love to use it on big snowflake stamps. You can use Versa Ink or Craft Ink.
Stamp your image, sprink the Heat n' Stick over it and shake off the excess, heat it (it will become shiny) and then, while it's still shiny, pour your glitter or PearlEx over the top of it and shake off the excess. You will get full coverage!
I love this site! I have a stamp camp on Saturday, my heat and stick and red glitter comes tomorrow, and I had NO IDEA how to do it! Thanks so much for the explanation! You just saved me a few hours of frustration and trial and error!
I love the effects of my heat and stick powder, but I have a hard time telling when it's done "setting" after I pour glitter on top of it and reheat it. How long should I reheat it?
