I'm looking for crafts for making wands for my daughter's bday party. will this work on a wooden dowel with real glass stones?

Sounds like a lot of fun. However, This wand is designed to melt pre-fixed glue on the back of a rhinestone. I do not recommend this wand for use around children. It reaches a very hot temperature and can cause severe burns if it touches the skin. This wand gets as hot, if not hotter than a hot glue gun. I recently did craft projects with a group of 4-6 years old. We used double stick tape and a non-toxic craft glue for the glitter and stones. I hope this helps you for your decision. I will add some positive issues with this wand. It comes with a variety of sizes of adaptors for stone application. It has an on-off switch. The wand heats up the hot-fix stones well enough for them to adhere very well to fabrics.

They're pretty thin, doubt you could put anything heavy on them. So I guess it depends what you're using them for. I put beads and tiny charms on them to make wine charms. Maybe you could find charms with names? I bought little hearts that said "Grandmother" on etsy.com. I saw someone drilled holes in scrabble tiles, could work for short names. Or get small metal pieces engraved.

It might but I've used for things other than rhinestones and I find it's harder to get things to stick. It probably depends on the material of the beads though.

I am sorry I have no idea, I purchased it to use with glass and fusing, it did not work for me with that project idea. Donald Martz

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

I don't know if this will work on stone, but Gorilla glue works great on stone. Just make sure both surfaces are wet when you apply.

it would but i dont think it will look to good. wine glass worked really well and i used battery power tea candle... for the light

it works well on glass, and it's actually sticky on the other side, so I think it will stick to wood if the surface is slippy

Yes...easily....especially for small applications. I have used for mostly big applications like table tops with mementos submerged into the resin. For coasters.....this may sound stupid but it is quite simple. Use a Red Solo Cup this would make for a great coaster casting mold....it is a bit small on the bottom but they do make larger cups that you could use the base for coasters. It's simple because you put in whatever you want to preserve in the resin. Once it hardens you just cut and peel the plastic cup away and it comes off/out like an ice cube from an ice cube try. Hope this helps! I have also used Forceflex garbage bags to catch overspill and noticed that it peels easily from forceflex bags.....so you could make your own cup mold with forceflex bags...but it will have the diamond pattern in the cast resin.

It should work great for a doll house. Just balance it and secure it, Has a 1000lb bearing on it. You can buy the bearing here instead then go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a round board for $14 and get something that will work just as well a lot cheaper. The 4 screws come with the bearing. This product is real nice for tables.Neither mine nor the extra bearing I bough had any problem spinning, they work well. Stacey should have return hers. it has a defect.

Hello Clarecrow, Either One Will Work. I Prefer The Recipe That Came With The Wands. Thank You!

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

I feel this ladle would not be suitable for engraving .Handle curves and also not wide enough. LADLE IS GREAT QUALITY HOWEVER

I bought this soldering iron for working with my stained glass projects and found it a little to heavy and the tip too big....about 1/4" wide. I'm sure it would work well for other projects.

You could purchase some wooden dowels with the same diameter at Lowes and cut to length. They wouldn't have the same button end, but you may find a wooden bead that could work as a cap (if needed) at Hobby Lobby/ Walmart

Yes, I use this to make shamballa bracelets and that involves macrame. Hope this helps! :)
