Troubleshooting
Eyelets do not attach securely
Ensure you are using the correct tool for the 8 mm eyelet size. Verify that the tool is aligned properly and apply consistent, firm pressure during attachment. Check that the eyelet and washer are correctly positioned before setting.
Eyelets twist or pull out of fabric
The eyelet may not have been set firmly enough. Re-attach the eyelet using the appropriate tool, ensuring maximum securement. For thinner fabrics, consider using a backing material or interfacing for added strength.
Tool does not fit the eyelets
Confirm that you are using a tool compatible with 8 mm eyelets. Refer to the icons on the Prym packaging or the tool's manual to match the correct tool set with the eyelet size.
Silver color appears tarnished
Brass can naturally oxidize over time. Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn tarnish, a specialized brass cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a damp cloth and drying.
