Product Information
Full details
This guide is for crafters, sewers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add durable, rustproof closures to garments and accessories without sewing. The Prym Anorak Snaps in Antique Brass offer a medium fastening strength and a smooth open/close action, making them ideal for jackets, bags, and more. A key caveat is that they are best suited for non-elastic fabrics, and while they come with application tools, a firm, consistent pressure is needed for proper installation.

FAQs
Do I need any special tools to apply these snaps?
The pack includes a tool designed for applying the Prym Anorak Snaps. Ensure you have a firm, flat surface to work on.
Can these snaps be used on all types of fabric?
They are best suited for non-elastic fabrics such as cotton, faux leather, and thin leather. They are not ideal for very stretchy or elastic materials.
Are the snaps durable enough for frequent use?
Yes, they are made from rustproof brass and are designed to withstand washing, spinning, cleaning, ironing, and pressing, making them suitable for frequent use.
What is the 'medium fastening strength'?
This refers to the balance between securely holding garments closed and being easy enough to open and close without excessive force.
How do I clean garments with these snaps attached?
The snaps are washable and can go through the washing machine, dryer, and ironing process along with the garment. Avoid direct contact with harsh cleaning chemicals.
Can I iron over the snaps?
Yes, the snaps are designed to withstand ironing.
What does 'antique brass' finish mean?
Antique brass is a finish that gives the metal a darker, more aged, or vintage appearance compared to polished brass.
Troubleshooting
Snap does not close securely
Ensure the snap components are correctly aligned and that sufficient, even pressure was applied during installation. Check if the fabric is too thick or has too much elasticity for the snap.
Tool slips during application
Ensure the snap components are properly seated in the tool. Use a stable, hard surface underneath the fabric and apply direct downward pressure. Consider using a specialized pliers tool if difficulty persists.
Snaps come loose after washing
Verify that the initial application was secure. Ensure the fabric is suitable and that the fabric around the snap hasn't frayed or weakened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Prym Anorak Snaps come with an integrated tool for application. Place the fabric piece you wish to attach the snap to on a firm, flat surface. Position the snap components as per the instructions provided with the tool. Apply firm, even pressure using the tool to secure the snap halves to the fabric. It is recommended to practice on a scrap piece of fabric first.
Compatibility: These snaps are best suited for non-elastic fabrics like cotton, denim, faux leather, and thin leather. They are not recommended for very stretchy or elastic materials.
Care: The snaps are designed to withstand machine washing, spinning, dry cleaning, and ironing. To maintain their appearance, avoid harsh chemical cleaners directly on the snap surface. After washing, ensure they are dry before storing to prevent any potential moisture-related issues, although the brass is rustproof.
