FAQs
Does this pack include the setting tool?
No, this is a refill pack containing only the eyelets and washers.
Can these be used on thick leather?
Yes, but ensure you punch a clean hole first, as the eyelet is designed to reinforce, not to pierce through thick materials.
Are these rust-proof?
They are made of durable metal, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to keep the gold finish in pristine condition.
What is the exact inner diameter?
The eyelets feature an 8.7mm diameter, suitable for medium-sized cords or ribbons.
Can I use these on delicate fabrics like silk?
It is not recommended, as the setting process requires significant pressure that may damage fragile fibers.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet is bending or crushing unevenly.
Ensure you are using the correct setting tool and that the eyelet is perfectly centered before applying force.
Eyelet falls out after setting.
The hole cut into the material may be too large; ensure the hole size is just barely large enough for the eyelet shaft to pass through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these eyelets, you will need a corresponding eyelet punch and setting tool of the same size. Always test the setting on a scrap piece of the same material to ensure your tool settings are correct. Regarding care, the gold finish is resistant to normal handling, but it is recommended to keep them dry to maintain the luster. When laundering fabric with these eyelets, consider using a laundry mesh bag to prevent the metal from catching on other garments or damaging your machine's drum.
