Read the directions supplied with your specific adhesive and test the complete material combination on a hidden area or spare sample.
Store loose stones by size and colour
Close every compartment before moving the kit. A small label on the lid or a phone photo of the tray layout makes it easier to restore the palette after a project. Keep the kit dry and away from heat, children and pets.
Give a fresh project clearance
A newly decorated item should not be stacked beneath books, placed in a tight bag or wrapped face-down. Use a level protected surface with enough space that the stones cannot touch another object while the adhesive follows its curing directions.
Pack with a soft separation layer
For a cured piece, use a clean non-shedding layer or a rigid box that prevents movement. Do not let abrasive packaging rub against rhinestone edges. For shoes or garments, keep the decorated face from pressing against a rough surface.
Inspect after travel
Before wearing or gifting the item, check borders, corners and areas that touched the packaging. Replace or redesign a loose stone before it becomes a scratch, snag or small-parts hazard.
