Hot Melt Glue Gun & Sticks

Got a job to stick down and can’t get spray adhesive to it…try HOT MELT glue.

This Hot Melt Craft Glue Gun is very quick and easy to use…just plug in, wait for the light to tell you its hot enough, and feed the glue sticks through. This product is just as quick and easy and also as strong as the most aggressive double sided tape. The sticks come in two kilo packs and will dry clear.

Knives & Blades

To carry vinyls and fabrics without having cutting implements is not the done thing, so we carry a range of snap off style knives, and also a Japanese quality large snap off blade, this is black in colour and extremely sharp, but also stays sharp for at least three times longer then the blade you might buy at Bunnings. Ask for them by name next time you order “Black Blades” used exclusively by Dashboard Restorations who swears by them.

Kai Scissors

These are the "ducks nuts" of scissors for upholstery and tailoring, they are smooth, light weight, can be used either left or right, but are actually right handed.

I have been using "Wiss" scissors for the last eight years, and I think these are better and more durable.

Being Japanese quality these blades are sharp and stay sharp. These are available in 10", 11" and 12" lengths.

We stock both budget and premium scissors with high end quality or budget affordability.  There are choices of Serra Sharp or Italian Forged.  We also have left handed, with left handed blades down to simple thread snips.
