Which type of flatbacks should I choose?

There are 2 types of Swarovski flatback crystals. No Hotfix and Hotfix

No Hotfix - If you are bejewelling items like cell phones, i-Pods, computers, flip flops, nails, skin, car keys etc. You should purchase these crystals and apply them with glue. We recommend E6000 glue for most applications - except skin and nails. Using superglue or a hot glue gun will damage the foil back, discolour them and they will lose their sparkle.

Hotfix - These crystals come with a heat activated glue already attached to the back of each crystal. This type of crystal is used only for fabrics and are applied using a heat applicator tool like a household iron, heat press or a specialized hotfix tool that will pick up round rhinestones, heat them until the glue begins to melt so that you can attach them to your fabric.

But be warned - hotfix will not stick to certain materials e.g. smooth leather, imitation leather, ceramic, waterproofed materials or thin fabric such as organza (I use no hotfix crystals and E6000 to stick flatbacks onto wedding veils).

There are many excellent Youtube videos on how to become expert with Hotfix crystals which we strongly advise you to watch before starting!
