Pull The Dot Snaps Won't Close

[LeatherWerks]

I bought some Pull the Dot snaps from a company called KnifeKits and am having a problem getting these snaps to work. I've watched a YouTube video by the Sailrite company showing the installation process at least 10 times. I'm pretty sure my installation procedure is correct.

After installing these snaps I can't get them to snap. I even got really upset and pounded the H*** out of one and it still wouldn't snap!

Anyone ever have this problem. Is it possible that the studs KnifeKits sent me were line 24 studs and not true Pull the Dot studs, or are they the same?

Frustrated in Missouri,

I run into that a few years back.

My problem was:

The roll-crimp where the cap fastens the socket was to high and would not go inside the stud.

Solution:

I used the next size shorter cap and that solved it.

Those caps are kinda picky about being matched up to the correct thickness of leather.

You are useing the pull the dot studs arn't you?

Are you trying to snap it flat or are you engaging the finger in the hole securing it them closing the snap. Look at 3:40 of this video.........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utcyUCU62QI
