"Just Add Creativity...."™

Sundries - Tweezers, Cutters, Pliers, Hammers, Scissors, Mandrels, Gadgets, Misc Tools & Glue

We endeavour to retail good quality tools at affordable prices. Where stated, pliers and cutters are assembled using box joints, which ensure that the jaws remain parallel at all times, vital when precision is important.
Less expensive tools use lap joints whose jaws may not meet exactly.

Look in the sundries section for other bead making accessories.

Twist the handle until the desired size of coil is reached. Tip: count the number of turns to re-create the same size coils for multiple coils, or perfectly matching earring dangles.

Tube GS-Hypo Cement
Tube GS-Hypo cement with bead tip precision appicator.G-S Hypo Cement was invented in 1930's for use in the watchmaking and jewelry repair industries. It is a combination fine precision tool and a clear drying, medium-strength cement that will not damage surfaces. The cement is ideal for jewelry, beads, plastic, glass, metal, ceramics, painted or sealed woods and other non-porous surfaces. This is a no-waste product that is ideal for many applications. Full use of the precision applicator tip is maintained by inserting the cap wire into the tube when not in use, and by cleaning excess drops from the outside of the applicator with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. This is not an "instant glue." It becomes tacky in 10 - 15 seconds, allows parts to be adjusted, sets in 10 to 15 minutes and fully dries in about an hour. The cement will not bond fingers, and has a slight odor that dissipates quickly. Great for beading, model making, miniatures, fine screw locking, sealing knots, precision waterproof sealing, precision repairs, optical and technical applications, crafts and hobbies. Contains 9ml (1/3 Fluid ounce). Manufacturer's user guide is available as PDF here.

Kandi Professional Touch® Hotfix Applicator Wand with UK mains plug

...possibly the most addictive thing since chocolate...

Kandi Professional Touch® hotfix crystal applicator wand. Complete with UK plug and eight tips; sizes SS6, 10, 16, 20, 30, 34, 4mm flat & 9mm flat.

Kandi's Professional Touch® HotFix Applicator has an ergonomic comfort grip handle which was designed by an expert to reduce hand fatigue. The wand has a short exposed barrel, which means you are less likely to come into contact with it whilst working (please don't go testing the heat with your fingers, trust us - it will get very hot); it also has a visible (lit up when on) on/off switch so you know when it is on. The wand does not need a support stand because the handle is balanced so it will not roll or slide.

The Professional Touch® is universal voltage - and ours includes a UK mains plug, though it will work anywhere in the world (110 - 230 V) ; it takes the wand around 2 minutes to come up to initial working temperature.

The tips can pick up and hold the crystal while you bring it to the correct temperature - apply by holding against your surface for approx. 5-7 seconds.

This is fun and addictive and will soon have you applying crystal to just about everything in your world.
