How do I cut the snap tape?

Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the tape to the desired length.

Can I wash items with the snap tape attached?

How do I know what size snaps to use?

Troubleshooting

Snaps are not attaching securely.

Ensure that the snap pliers or press are properly calibrated and that you are using the correct size snaps for the tape. Double-check that the snaps are being applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Tape is fraying or coming loose.

Trim any loose threads or frayed edges. Consider applying a small amount of fabric glue along the edges of the tape to prevent further fraying.
