Troubleshooting
Screwback stud will not tighten.
Ensure the pilot hole is not too large. Check that the threads on the post and the stud are aligned correctly. If threads are damaged, the rivet may need to be replaced.
Rivet feels loose after installation.
The materials may be too thin or compressible. Consider adding a washer or using a thicker material. Ensure the screw is fully tightened.
Difficulty drilling a clean pilot hole.
Use a sharp drill bit appropriate for the material. For leather, consider using an awl or a leather punch. Ensure the material is supported while drilling.
Brass finish appears tarnished.
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a specialized brass cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first, and follow up with a gentle polish.

Setup:
- Prepare Materials: Ensure the materials you intend to bind (e.g., leather, thick cardstock) are ready and aligned.

- Insert Post: Insert the threaded post of the screwback stud through the material from the back.
- Attach Stud: Place the flat head stud over the post from the front of the material and align the threads.
- Tighten: Use a standard screwdriver to firmly tighten the stud onto the post, ensuring a secure connection.

- Fabric (when reinforced)
- Wood (thin pieces)
- Foam board
Care:
To maintain the appearance and function of your Neel Blue screwback studs:
- Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the brass finish.
- Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten, which could strip the threads or damage your materials.
