Compatibility:
These snaps are specifically designed for use with jersey and other stretch fabrics that are thinner in weight. They may not provide an adequate hold or could damage heavier or non-stretch materials.
**Setup:
To apply these snaps, you will typically need a Prym pliers tool (sold separately) and the corresponding attaching tools. Follow the instructions provided with the pliers and snap fasteners for correct placement. Ensure the fabric is flat and the snap components are aligned before pressing.
Care:
When applied to garments, the snaps are generally washable and durable. It is recommended to wash garments inside out and avoid harsh chemical treatments that could affect the plastic or metal components. Ironing over the snaps should be done with care, using a lower heat setting if necessary.
