Method # 3.Using a special soldering iron( for thermo-crystals)

If you need to remove the thermo-pastes, then you can not do without a special soldering iron for rhinestones. You can buy such a tool in a special store of goods for sewing. This device can be heated to the melting point of the adhesive, so proceed as follows:

1. Preheat the soldering iron to the required temperature.
2. Gently attach the device to the crystal so that it glows. In this case, the base of the glue will melt.
3. Use tweezers to remove excess jewelry.

Important! The heated crystal can not be taken by hand, it is fraught with burns.

This method has a significant disadvantage - after glue there will be a trace on clothes, so use this technology in the event that you plan to replace the damaged crystal with a new one. For example, the rhinestones cracked, darkened, clouded and lost an attractive appearance.

Popular advice

To date, there is no effective method for removing rhinestones from clothes, since there will still be a glue on the fabric. Therefore, consider several folk ways to remove stains from the glue from clothes:

• The glue trace can be removed using denatured alcohol or vinegar. Moisten a piece of cotton wool or a cloth and thoroughly rub the stain. After 30 minutes, soak the product in warm water and wash.
• You can also remove glue from crystals using acetone, but this technique is not suitable for thin, colored fabrics. Do not use acetone to clean synthetic fabrics.
• If folk remedies did not remove the fabric from the stains of glue, then use the modern preparations available in any construction shop. At the heart of such tools are silicon dioxide and propylene carbonate, so such a product will quickly rid the product of any contaminants.

Take advantage of our advice and recommendations to lose unnecessary crystals without losses, without spoiling a good thing. We hope that you will give clothes a new, "serious" life without excesses.
