You can, but don't use DSI glue with hotfix stones unless it's something that will never be washed. We've used GemTac on hotfix stones with a few losses if the leotard has accidentally gone through the machine on 40°C rather than the friendlier 30°.

I used DSI glue to put some hotfix leftovers onto a pair of Meryl leggings (for a flashy FitSteps Christmas workshop in Blackpool Tower) and when washed every single one fell off very neatly leaving their perfect little hotfix backing firmly adhered to the fabric.  They were the same stones that we'd previously used with GemTac so we're not sure why.

In all other regards we very much like the DSI glue though.
