How to use Zap-A-Gap with Crystal Glue-In Charms
This playful line of crystal glue-in charms is just fun! You
can choose any color of crystal you want and customize the charms for your
needs. We've done some experimenting and consider the process outlined
below to be the easiest way to use Zap-A-Gap with the Crystal Glue-In Charms
You can also use GS Hypo Cement if you prefer.
Materials:
Your choice
of Crystal Glue-In Charms
Your choice
of SS9 2.6mm flat backs or rhinestones
Piece of scrap paper doubled up
Piece of paper towel folded into a quarter its
size
Tools and glue you will need (change quantity
to 1 if you need them):
Stainless Steel Tweezers (#51083)
Qty:
Zap-A-Gap Glue, used in our example (#49088)
Qty:
or
GS Hypo Cement (#49093)
Qty:
Directions:
 Step
1: First, get everything ready. Have your charms facing up with
the spot for the flat back. Also have your flat backs facing color
side up. If you're doing double sided charms (the angel wings and
awareness ribbons) do one side first, let the glue dry and then do the
other side.
 Step
2: Put the long tube on the end of your Zap-A-Gap. Onto a few
sheets of scrap paper that are layered (so the glue doesn't soak through
to your table) start squeezing the Zap-A-Gap and get used to the flow.
As you can see in the photo, you'll start out with large dots and eventually
get control and tiny dots.
 Step
3: When you're confident with making tiny dots of Zap-A-Gap, place
dots on 2 or 3 charms.
 Step
4: Using a tweezers, place the flat backs you selected into the spots
for the crystals. Work with 2 or 3 charms at a time so the glue doesn't
dry before you can get the flat back in.
 Step
5: When you're done gluing all your charms and flat backs, take the
long tube off your Zap-A-Gap and place it on a folded up paper towel to
leach the excess glue out of the tube. Keep moving it around to different
sections of the paper towel. You might get a little dried paper towel
on the tube but you can remove it with your tweezers or an X-Acto Knife.
Enjoy!
