Troubleshooting
Ring is difficult to attach securely
Ensure you are using the correct size ring for your material thickness and that your attachment tool is properly aligned and applying sufficient pressure. Consider reinforcing the material around the attachment point.
Gunmetal finish appears to be wearing off
This can occur with excessive friction or abrasion. Reduce direct rubbing against rough surfaces. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For extreme cases, a clear sealant might be applied by the user, though this may alter the finish.
Ring feels loose after attachment
Re-examine the attachment method. Ensure the material is properly clamped or secured around the ring. If using a tool, verify it's set correctly. For fabric projects, interfacing or stabilizer may be needed for added support.
