Troubleshooting
Eyelet does not set securely.
Ensure you are using a compatible eyelet setting tool and applying sufficient, even pressure. Check that the eyelet is properly seated before crimping.
Eyelet tears the paper.
Make sure the hole punched is the correct size for the eyelet. Avoid applying excessive force directly around the hole before setting the eyelet.
Eyelet setter is difficult to use.
Verify that the eyelet setter is properly aligned with the eyelet. Ensure the eyelet components are correctly positioned within the setter jaws.
Eyelets appear tarnished.
Store eyelets in a dry environment away from humidity. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
