Question

I don't have a hot-glue gun, but can I use superglue to glue flat-back crystals to a smooth surfaced candle?

Answer 1

Just heat the crystals and press them into the wax.

Should hold if you roughen the back of the crystal..

Answer 2

Well a hot-glue gun would melt the candle surface anyway. But superglue would not adhere to the wax well. However, if you first glue the crystals to something like a thumbtack and then insert the thumbtack into the wax...would be more likely to hold.
