do I need long post snaps?


Recommended Posts

I read on that old snap tutorial something about getting long post snaps (5/16) because some aren't long enough to hold through the plastic or something, maybe that was for certain armor thicknesses. The generic "100 pack line 24 nickel plated snaps" on Ebay are fine right?

dritz 5/8" snaps are shorter than the tandy line 24.

 

the tandy line 24 is a very nice snap system.

lot's of hammering with the anvil.

 

anvil tip: as you set your snaps tilt the anvil post in a circular motion about 20deg. orr center

with this circular hammering motion you set the cap in a outward curve, allowing the snap to seat more completely.
