This products heats/overheats very quickly to the point of burning through rather than sealing....but once you get the knack of it, its actually really easy to use, quick to seal and perfect for my needs.You do have to be aware of the pressure you apply too as if the wheel doesn't spin it won't make a good seal

Only after 4 lines, the fuse tip has got stuck and is not moving and has turned black

I missed out buying the fuse tool a few years ago. I was very happy to find it on Amazon. My suggestion is to let it get up for 10-15 minutes before using it and then it works amazingly well

Wow, something to make shaker cards quick and easy! I love that I can use it to make any shape I want and that it adds a very small amount of bulk to the card and envelope. What used to be a pain-in-the tush for making AND mailing is now simple and easy to do. I watched a couple of videos I found on You-Tube for exactly how to use it and/or to obtain some 'tips' and that really helped, also. I no longer scrapbook, but if I did, this would also be fun and handy. Note: the metal gets very hot (like a glue gun) and can burn easily. Keep away from kids. Let it cool completely before storing. It does take about 8 to 10 minutes to heat up, but during that time you can be getting your project ready! The only negative I would have would be that the pocket full of shaker stuff (glitter, beads, etc.) is "flat" so it doesn't shake as easy as the normal shaker card you make using foam tape. Still, for the benefits, I think that's only a very minor flaw. As an experiment, the next time I might try to blow a little bit of air into the pocket (maybe use a small straw like a coffee stirrer) before it seals to see what happens. Highly recommend and for the price, creativity, convenience, and less bulk, it's well worth it.

This tool is amazing - it does exactly what it's advertised to do, and does it well. It's not hard to learn how - after 2 practice runs I was able to seal up several page protectors in all kinds of complex configurations. I just decided to switch to 8.5x11 pages for my Project Life albums, and there aren't many page protectors for this size that fit the standard PL cards. Now I can create my own, or modify the 12x12 pages I already have to fit!! Super exciting.I'd recommend using a glass cutting mat because it's hard (and heat-resistant) and the "wheel" of the fusing tip slides nicely over a hard surface. My cutting mat has a grid pattern on it which is very helpful to line up the page protector and ruler stencil so the seams are straight.The tool gets VERY hot, so be careful. It's a lot lighter than I expected, so you also need to be careful that the weight of the cord doesn't pull the tool somewhere you don't want it to go (like your arm!). Use the little stand provided - that helps, but it's still somewhat flimsy.It does take some time to heat up completely - 10 minutes or so. I was too excited when I first unboxed it, and let it heat for about 4 minutes and that wasn't long enough to seal the plastic. Be patient and wait, and you will be rewarded by nice clean strong seams :)It works well on both the American Crafts and Becky Higgins Project Life page protectors. If you want a really good, strong seam, you can seal the seam on both sides.I have used it with a metal ruler instead of the short ruler stencil for longer seams and it works, but the stencil is definitely easier as it has a "groove" to keep the tool in place.My wish list: a place to store the tips *with* the tool itself as they are tiny, and a longer ruler stencil (12" would be dreamy). I'd also like the option to buy some of the wider fusing tips I've seen (the HSN bundle seems to have multiple-width tips).

Customer Service read my note and sent me a brand new one. I took a while for me to test it, but this new one is working beautifully, and sealing my pockets exactly as expected. Apparently, I got a defective one. The temperature doesn’t fluctuate and it seals scrapbooking plastics perfectly. I no longer feel it needs temperature control because it’s the right temperature, and doesn’t get dangerously hot or shut off.I’ll leave my old review below because I feel like it’s cheating to remove, but I take it all back. The fuse is s tool you need in your crafting arsenal and it is handy to create and seal pockets in scrapbooks. Love it, and love the responsive CS more. Great company.****This is a pain in the rear to use. The holder thing doesn't hold it very well, and at the smallest bump and you are at risk of a burning hot piece of metal falling into your work surface. Second, there are no temperature controls, so I either burn through my project or can't get a seal. I've tried all sorts of different plastics and it's very hard to get one that works right. I was making some sand and shell mini-beaches, and I had to plug it in, wait ten minutes for it to heat up, use it swiftly to seal, pour the stuff in, seal the remaining opening just hoping it didn't melt a hole (which it did most time), then unplug it so it doesn't get too hot to burn, cool it down again and start all over on the next one.It's a lot of work and stress to seal some sequins in a pocket.Still, I WANT to seal sequins in a pocket so I keep trying. But I hope the good people at WRMK are reading this and decide to design a new one that has a temperature control. We also we need some instructions on which brand of sheet protectors and plastics will actually seal without melting. I've seen people successful with sandwich baggies, and I can't seem to be successful with a Becky Higgins pocket page.I don't know if everybody who is making this works has some special crafty magic, or mine is defective. It definitely doesn't seem to hold a steady temperature. It's a good idea for a product but it needs some work.Maybe I'll go check out the wood burning tools people keep talking about.
