  11. I want the tweezers I dip a lot of plain metal brads into embossing glitter after heating them and my tweezers always stick leaving a flat spot or a spot that pulls away.

    It would be nice if it was made in another color other than pink or with less pink to appeal to men as well. I can see this being a cross gender product. The package is too pink for me and I am a female.

    Have a good on,

  25. Thanks Cathie! I ordered mine (3 sets)and added you to all my websites including face book......... Do you have a " glue gun helpers face book page?
    I thought you might want to know that when I did a search for glue gun helpers..... your etsy store did not show up. A store came up on Amazon that is why I ordered there. I'll try and help promote your store for you.
    Thanks again for creating such a great tools. Now i can drink my glass of cold h2o instead of putting my fingers in it!

  28. I just got this off of HSN i have been wanting it since it came out. Last time I used my glue I got 2 degree burns and I was shocked I used it last night the rest of the stuff is great but the finger tips things are so small my finger went to sleep with them on before i glued ribbon around a 6×12 piece of paper they worked but could be bigger. Other wise if your big handed they may not work I hand man hands lol.I think the xl was left out of my package only got 3 need to be bigger.
