I think of it as "Sticky Powder". Melts faster than regular EP, so have a care not to overheat it? Remove the heat immediately when it turns "wet" looking. If overheated, it will lose it's tacky properties, harden, and nothing will stick to it.
Use any time you want the following to stick to your stamped image:
Flock
Glitter (any color) (If used over Craft Ink, with Irridescent Ice EP, it will reflect the color of ink used because II EP is made from a clear EP base--very cool!)
Sand
Microbeads (altho after embossing, you may wanna coat it with a thin bead of Crystal Effects for a really strong bond, because the beads are "chunkier" and might fall off if handled?)
I'm sure there are other items you could experiment with and see if those will stick well to Heat n Stick EP as well? ;)
