Troubleshooting

Snaps do not close securely.

Ensure the fabric is not too thick for the snaps and that the application tool is used correctly, applying sufficient pressure to fully engage the snap parts.

Tool does not pierce the fabric.

Verify that the correct size hole punch is used for the snap size. Ensure the fabric is layered appropriately and that the tool is aligned correctly.

Snaps break during application.

Check for obstructions in the tool or pliers. Ensure consistent, steady pressure is applied during the fastening process. Do not force the tool.

Color fades after washing.

While generally colorfast, prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or high heat during washing/drying may affect color. Wash inside out with mild detergent.
