You should probably buy a heat gun, they aren't expensive lower end models are just ~$15-25. Typically hairdryers don't get nearly hot enough for solid blobs. The heat gun is able to put out temperatures of >750F (>395C) more than high enough temperature to soften and even melt any conventional filament you throw at it.
Another way to do this is to use an electric griddle or hotplate to heat the stones, glue side up -- you'll know when they're ready when the glue pools and becomes shiny. Then use tweezers or needle nosed pliers to place. Or for really tiny ones, you can pick them up with the point of a pencil or sharpened chopstick.
They also make tools just for setting hotfix stones, they're sort of an electric wand that the stone fits in the end of, but it's much slower because you have to wait for each stone to heat individually and the metal edges can get hot enough to burn delicate fabrics sometimes. So not my preferred method.
EDIT: Ahh, I just realized that tool is what you're referring to as a heat gun. This is what I think of as a heat gun, so I was confused for a moment.
Do you mean a heat gun??
