Troubleshooting
Fastener is loose after application.
Ensure the tool was used with sufficient force to properly secure the fastener to the fabric. For the concealed version, re-apply with a hammer, ensuring a firm strike.
Difficulty applying the fastener.
Refer to the instructions on the back of the packaging for detailed diagrams. Ensure you are using the correct tool for the specific fastener type (concealed vs. visible) and applying steady, firm pressure or hammer strikes.
Fastener not closing securely.
Check if the hook and bar are properly aligned and if there are any obstructions. Ensure the fabric is not too thick or bulky, which could prevent a secure closure.
Rust spots appearing on the fastener.
Prym fasteners are rust-proof. If rust appears, it may be from an external source. Clean the fastener gently. Ensure the garment is fully dried after washing.
