GojuGrin Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've found topics saying either snap making method is ok and know folks have done all nylon snaps and others who did plate. Is there any negative to doing all nylon or is plate snaps the way to go? I know it's largely a preference thing but would love knowing if anyone is aware of cons or wish they'd done it differently. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagedzi[TK] Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I like using nylon webbing for my snaps. I take a solder iron to burn a hole through and melt it to keep it from fraying. I find the webbing allows you to glue onto curved areas easier. The E-6000 soaks into the webbing as well--giving you a nice strong bond.

GojuGrin Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 It seemed like nylon snaps would be easier to make, just want to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Batman[501st] Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I originally did mostly plates, some nylon. Nylon ones where it was curved. Nylon ones can also be handy if height makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I like both, but the webbing snaps are far easier to make and apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
