Full details
These Prym Anorak Snaps in antique brass are designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to add durable, rustproof fasteners to garments and accessories.

Troubleshooting
Snap does not fasten securely
Ensure the snap components are correctly aligned and that the tool has fully secured them. Check that the fabric is not too thick for the snap's fastening strength.
Tool is difficult to use
Ensure the snap parts are correctly positioned on the fabric and within the tool. If using the basic included tools, practice on scrap fabric first. Consider using the Prym Vario pliers for easier handling.
Finish is damaged during application
Ensure the tool is used correctly and is not slipping. Apply firm, steady pressure. Using a cutting mat underneath can also help.
Snap feels too loose or too tight
The snaps have a medium fastening strength. If it feels too loose, ensure proper application. If too tight, check fabric thickness and application pressure. For different strength needs, consider other Prym fastener types.
