Can someone identify these?

[Grimjohn]

I have been trying to figure out for months what BBP uses to make these little metal-like buttons...they are non-functioning, strictly ornamental...

Does anyone know what they are called? I need to get my hands on some for an upcoming custom ASAP.

Any insights or actual facts (preferred) will be immensely appreciated.

Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROUND-Smooth...3D121101377460 This papi guy has a TON of them in different colors. I ordered $20 worth 2mm and $20 worth of 3mm in different colors of each diameter.

LMAO...yeah, I waited until the wife was out of the room before doing the search

what does hot fix mean? Iron on?

[Grimjohn]

Yes, the intended way to attach hot fix studs (or rhinestones) is to use a standard clothes iron or a one of the soldering iron-type tools that are available for applying them. They can also be applied with "cold" methods such as epoxy, fabric glue or super glue, depending on the surface you are applying them to.

It's funny you posted this--I'd never heard of them until just a few days ago, reading about a Red Sonja custom here.

I get them off of ebay--many sizes, shapes, & colors. Yes, they are iron-on.

Thank you for the link BL--I had forgotten you'd mentioned that in relation to the Emce Monsters.

The best way to attach these is with a modified soldering iron. Wire a small nail onto the tip of the soldering iron and then touch it to the hot fix stud.
