FAQs
Do I need to sew these on?
No, these are rivetable fasteners and do not require any sewing for attachment.
Can I choose which color cap to show?
Yes, the caps are reversible, allowing you to display either the silver or black side.
Are these fasteners suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, they are a secure and durable option for children's clothing, provided they are applied correctly.
How many fasteners are in a pack?
The pack contains the necessary hook and bar components, applying tool, and hole punch bar for application.
Will these rust if washed?
No, the fasteners are made from rust-proof material and are designed to withstand washing and dry-cleaning.
What tools are needed for application?
You will need either Prym vario pliers, a hammer, or a tripod for processing the fasteners.
Can these be removed and reused?
While they are designed for permanent attachment, removal is possible but may damage the fabric or the fastener, making reuse difficult.
Troubleshooting
Fastener not securely attached
Ensure you are using adequate pressure with the vario pliers or hammer. Double-check that the correct tool and method are being used for the fabric thickness.
Hole punch is difficult to use
Make sure the hole punch bar is positioned correctly on the fabric. Ensure you are applying firm, direct pressure when using a hammer or other striking tool.
Fastener appears loose after application
The rivet may not have been fully set. Attempt to re-apply pressure to the rivet base to secure it further. If issues persist, you may need to remove and reapply the fastener.
Fabric tearing around the fastener
This can occur with very thin fabrics or if too much force is applied. Reinforce the area with a small piece of interfacing before application, or consider a different fastener type for extremely delicate materials.
