Troubleshooting

Rivet does not tighten securely

Ensure the holes in your material are the correct size for the rivet post and screw. Check that the screw is properly aligned with the post before tightening.

Rivet post and screw do not meet

Verify that you are using the correct screw and post combination. Ensure there are no obstructions within the holes or on the rivet components.

Silver finish appears tarnished

Gently wipe the rivet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a brass cleaner specifically designed for plated finishes, following product instructions carefully.
