Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these rivets, you will need a matching 10mm rivet setter and a concave anvil. Follow these steps for best results:
- Prepare the Hole: Punch a hole in your material slightly larger than the stem diameter (approx. 2.5mm to 3mm).
- Insert the Rivet: Push the rivet stem through the hole from the back of the material.
- Cap the Rivet: Place the top cap onto the stem.
- Secure: Place the assembly on your anvil. Use your setter tool and a mallet to tap the cap firmly onto the stem. A few sharp, straight strikes are better than many light, uneven ones.
Care Instructions: While the silver finish is durable, avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial degreasers. Clean with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the shine. If used on outdoor gear, periodically check that the rivet remains tight as natural material shrinkage can occur.
