Maybe try some contact cleaner on the connector.

Sno-Seal Turned Very Sticky On Briefcase
Tree Reaper replied to Roger J's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Just put the heat to it again and wipe it clean. -
Not much help here, I tried those things a few years ago, thinned, not thinned, just couldn't get the thing to work. Had a spare and tried it and that wouldn't work either. Now I just use a gravity fed gun.

It works well because the drill bit puts a nice inside tapered end on the post. Pull the dot snaps come in different post sizes so I like to have a couple to choose from and they roll over real nice with hand punches.

Did you look into getting the one you have repaired?

Completed These For Twisted Fringe For Inserts.
Tree Reaper replied to tlauts's topic in Saddle and Tack Accessory Items
Very good detail, nicely done. -
JB is like steel when it hardens so try to keep it away from any needle work you may be doing after it sets up.

I bought a ten ton with a gauge so I know exactly how much pressure is being applied.

I made a jig for trimming posts and use a twist drill to trim them down.

Two part epoxy is exclusive for bonding to fiberglass. It's like acrylic, not everything will bond to it so you have to use specific products.

Two part epoxy like JB Weld.

I'd switch to pull the dot. How are you cutting them?

What make are the snaps and how much post is above the snap prior to setting?

It should come off by wetting it with a damp clean rag.

That's a whip finish used for rope ends. It's designed to lock, that's why they tell you not to tighten it too much.

How To Make Large Dog Collar Sturdy Enough For A St Bernard
Tree Reaper replied to OdinUK's topic in How Do I Do That?
That's why I was asking, most common buckles for dogs are one inch and smaller. Webbing might be another choice as well. -
How To Make Large Dog Collar Sturdy Enough For A St Bernard
Tree Reaper replied to OdinUK's topic in How Do I Do That?
Are you planning on using a 2 inch buckle or stepping it down to one inch? -
It depends on the strength you require. A double fishermans will work but you won't be able to load it because it will pull back together until the two knots lock. A prusik knot or blakes hitch will lock under load and is adjustable.

How Do I.... Flatten Leather To Make It Workable?
Tree Reaper replied to tanda4's topic in How Do I Do That?
I usually tack the upper left corner down and strip the leather from the right side. Make sure you have a new or very sharp blade. Sometimes it's necessary to cut the leather into smaller manageable pieces.
