Troubleshooting
Snap doesn't close properly
Ensure the snap components are aligned correctly and that sufficient pressure was applied during application with the tool. Check if the fabric is too thick for the snap.
Tool is not applying the snap evenly
Verify that the correct die is inserted into the pliers or tool. Make sure the snap parts are seated correctly in the die.
Snap comes loose after washing
Confirm that the snap was applied with adequate pressure. If the fabric is very thick or stretchy, the snap might not hold as securely. Consider reinforcing the fabric area if possible.
Tool seems difficult to use
Refer to the instruction manual for your specific Prym tool. Ensure you are following the correct sequence of operations and applying consistent force.
