Product Information
Full details
The Neel Blue Double Cap Tubular Rivets are an essential utility for leatherworkers, bag makers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, professional-grade fastener for fabric, denim, and leather projects. These gold-colored rivets provide both structural reinforcement and a refined aesthetic to seams and straps; however, users should ensure their material thickness matches the 6.5mm stem length to prevent loose fits or inability to close the caps properly.

FAQs
What tools do I need to set these rivets?
You will need a hole punch of the correct diameter and a rivet setter/anvil kit specifically designed for 8mm double-cap rivets.
Can I use these on thin silk or delicate fabric?
These are generally too large and heavy for delicate fabrics; they are best suited for leather, canvas, or denim.
How thick should my material be?
These rivets work best on total material thicknesses slightly less than 6.5mm to allow the cap to secure properly.
Will these gold rivets rust?
The rivets are designed for durability, but the gold finish is a coating. Keep them away from high-moisture environments to prevent surface oxidation.
Can they be removed once set?
These are permanent fasteners. Removal usually requires cutting the rivet or drilling through it, which may damage the surrounding material.
Troubleshooting
Rivet is loose after installation
The material may be too thin for the 6.5mm stem; consider adding a thin leather washer or backing to increase thickness.
Cap is dented during application
Ensure you are using a setting tool with a concave tip that matches the 8mm diameter of the cap.
Rivet does not snap together
Check that the stem is not obstructed by debris and ensure the rivet is sitting perfectly perpendicular to the base surface.
Pros and Cons

- High-strength joint reinforcement

Cons
- Fixed stem length may be too long for very thin fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a revolving hole punch to create a hole slightly larger than the rivet stem. Place the rivet stem through your material layers, attach the second cap on top, and use a dedicated rivet setting die and mallet to compress the pieces together. These rivets are compatible with most leathers, canvas, and heavy-duty denim. To maintain the gold finish, avoid exposing the rivets to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may cause tarnishing over time. Store the unused rivets in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture exposure.
