Step 1
Prepare the surface for gluing
Ensure that the phone case is clean and if the surface is shiny, gently buff the area with sandpaper so that the surface becomes matt, this will provide a ‘key’ for the glue to grip to, ensuring a strong bond with the resin glue and crystals.
Step 2
Get the glue ready
Fill the Crystal FX syringe part way with E6000 resin glue and cover a small section of the phone case with a thin layer of glue. Allow 10 minutes for the glue to become tacky, this section of glue will have approximately one hour of work time before it starts drying and will take 24 hours to fully cure.
Step 3
Apply the Swarovski rhinestones
Use the Magic Sorting Tray for storing the crystals while you work and use the Wax Picker Pen to pick up and place each rhinestone onto the phone case using concentric lines beginning with the edges of the case, followed by the outline of the drip design. When filling a shape, it is best to start with the outline and work your way in as this helps you guarantee nice clean edges. Try to leave no spaces between your crystals for the best result.
Step 4
Let the crystals dry flat
Work your way across the surface of the phone case and be sure to let it lie flat while it dries to avoid crystals sliding out of alignment. It is best to leave the item to dry overnight to avoid knocking crystals out of position by touching the object when the glue is not yet fully cured.
Step 5
Finishing touches
When all the glue has fully dried you can wipe the rhinestones with a cloth or some tissue to remove any waxy residue that may be left on the crystals from the wax picker pen.
