Does this applicator work with swarovski crystals only, or can it be used for studs as well?

It can be used with any "hot fix" crystal, the different types of heads give you a wide variety of sizes. I would say if the stud has hot fix glue on it, I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work ;)

You can use this stuff on ANYTHING. Before you start your rather large project, I strongly recommend you practice first on a surface similar to your surround. The good news/bad news is that the stuff is pretty unforgiving. Once it's on, it is on. Also, remember to massage/mix it in the tube. If the product has sat for a while, often it will separate in the tub. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy "gilding."

I use the cerium oxide to mirror polish gemstones. I have used it to polish the crystal on my watch and it does any outstanding job. Gordon Glass Cerium Oxide is the best that I have ever used.

Honestly, I haven't used it on earrings but my guess would be yes. I say yes because I left my wedding and engagement ring in this solution over night and the next morning, there was so much crud that came out of all the little holes under my diamonds that I never even knew was there.

You should be able to get at least two screws into studs, however, if you feel that you haven't hit studs, you can use, I think they call them molly anchors that expand when you screw them in. I have used them in the past when I wanted to fasten where I knew there was no stud. Used this method on a fiberglass tub surround years ago, its used everyday, and has not loosened at all. I'm not saying not to try to hit the studs but not to worry if all the screws in each side don't. Hope this helps. You can always go to hardware store or big box store and ask which additional anchors you can use.

The crystals I got with the iron are not Swarovski. I happened to also order Swarovski's at the same time. The Swarovski's were much easier to work with, and did not fall off of the material. I wouldn't use the ones that came with. That being said, see if the larger crystals match up with any of the tips that came with the iron. The size is written on the side of the tip. Good luck.

I have used it on SW model 66 Sights. No good on reflective types but OK on Stainless. Also effective on Nickel surfaces. Apply sparingly and expect to apply twice. High end nickel plumbing fixtures also respond well to cleaning with this product

It only works on wall material that has been nailed or screwed in place. The stud finders are magnetic, so they work be being attracted to metal.

Yes, I use it primarily for stud earrings. Most of my earrings are medium size or smaller. If they are really big, you may have to use ever other hole to make them fit side by side.

Sapphires are hard stone gems (almost as hard as diamonds). I don't think the solution will harm the stone. If any glue was used to hold the stone(s) in place, rather than a metal prong setting, the result might be different. Haggerty does have a solution for jewelry, and you can contact them with questions about both products.

Yes the sapphire hone does, the strop doesn't that much. The sapphire hone (I'm guessing based on past experiences) sharpens like it's a 1500-2000 grit stone, meaning you still remove metal. The strop just straightens out the microscopic burrs on your blade and aligns them with each other. (Just like bending the teeth of a saw)

The studpop was designed to work on any kind of wall. Sheetrock, plaster, lath and plaster, tile. That's the guarantee. If it doesn't appear to be working then it's either defective or you're not using it right. In either case contact the company and they'll figure it out. Being a new company with a very new product, they are very eager to please ; )

I haven't tried on anything like gems of stones, it works on silver well though. Sorry

Yes, I use it primarily in peoples homes while installing window treatments (and pictures and all the other stuff that my clients hang on their walls). have not yet tried it in a metal studded commercial buildings, but I'll bet it will work just as well as it finds the screws that hold the drywall on, not the studs.

I have only used it on silver and gold so far with great results. Maybe try a small amount on the clasp and see what happens?

Is the bedroom set varnished? Is so, I don't think so. Personally I have only used it on open pore finishes such as butcher block and it worked absolutely wonderful. Good luck.
