CrookKnight[TK] Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I just received my webbing fabric for snap plates. However, I have no idea how to install the snaps to the fabric. I ordered the snap kits from Tandy Leather. Does anyone have any threads or tutorials on how to install snaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK5IDE[TK] Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Here's a tip that helped me: double up the fabric (over itself) on areas under highest stress where snaps tend to pull out. For example, shoulder bells to chest/back strap. You can also stitch additional thread close to the snap themselves to prevent webbing from stretching too much around snaps and thus pulling out.
