shooter55 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 Just brought in a couple of hundred snaps and find out they are 1/4" length posts. Tried one on some scrap to see if they were too short, and they worked OK, but want to be sure I don't experience them coming off down the road. Anyone have experience in using 1/4" posts for snaps on 7/8 oz leather? Need some assurance or a kick in the butt for getting the wrong stuff. Thanks, Shooter (Tim) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glendon Report post Posted June 22, 2013 First thing you need to do is find yourself a conversion chart for leather ounces to thickness in inches or mm. That information is very handy to have as a beginner. 7oz - 8oz leather is roughly 7/64" - 1/8" thick. Since you usually install snaps in one layer of leather, you should be good to go with 1/4" post snaps. Just be thankful you didn't do this with rivets.
