Advice on at-home installation

Hi, everyone. =)

I recently had a miscommunication with my stylist, and she ended up cutting my hair into a short, layered bob (longest strands are at the chin, and the back is much shorter and graduated). My hair had been shoulder-length, and I'd just wanted a bit of a trim -- I was aiming to grow my hair longer. I've enjoyed this short cut for a few weeks just for its novelty, but it's hard to style and looks bad more often than good. I've been aiming toward getting some fusion hair extensions.

Currently:

I purchased Remy human hair extensions at Sally's. I've been browsing Doctored Locks and am planning on buying the necessary tools for a full head of fusions. I'll be doing all this at home, but I'll have a hair stylist friend assisting me. I'm sure this won't be a perfect application, but I'm giving myself a good two or three days to slowly and carefully apply these extensions.

My questions:
1) What tools will I need to apply fusion extensions at home?
2) What tools will I need to remove these extensions?

Because my hair is so short, I'm planning on having a professional cut and blend the extensions afterward. Fingers crossed...!

I referenced a ton of videos and bought the following from Doctored Locks:

1. A heat wand
2. Keratin bonding tips
3. Hair seperators

I plan on pre-tipping the hair at night and then attaching them to my head the following day. Hopefully I didn't screw anything up. :x
