Do I need special tools to apply these rivets?

What is the diameter of these rivets?

The head diameter of these rivets is 9 mm.

Can these rivets be used on any type of fabric?

Troubleshooting

Rivet not securely fastened

Ensure the fabric is not too thick for the rivet post length. Apply firm, even pressure with the hammer or tool. Check that the post is fully inserted through the fabric before setting.

Rivet cap is uneven or damaged

Use a steady, direct hammer strike. Ensure the rivet is properly seated in the tool before striking. Practice on scrap fabric to get a feel for the required force.

Difficulty making the initial hole

Use a sharp awl or a small, pointed tool. For thicker materials, consider using a rotary punch or a specialized hole-making tool. The hole should be just large enough for the rivet post.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the desired location on your fabric.
  2. Make a small hole using a sharp object or awl, slightly smaller than the rivet post.
  3. Insert the rivet post through the fabric layers.
  4. Place the cap of the rivet over the post on the other side.
  5. Use the included tool and a hammer to gently tap the cap, securing it to the post. Ensure an even strike for a clean finish.

Compatibility:

These rivets are compatible with the Prym VARIO pliers for non-sew products and the Prym tripod, offering alternative application methods for speed and consistency, especially for larger projects. They are suitable for use on fabrics like denim, canvas, leather, and other medium to heavy-weight materials.

Care:

Made from rustproof brass, these rivets require minimal care. To clean the surrounding fabric, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the fabric or the rivet's finish over time.
