    Maybe try some contact cleaner on the connector.

    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?

    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?
  13. Tree Reaper
    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.

    Looks good, your work is improving with every new project.

    Search for "circle cutter" http://www.lionop.com/circle-cutters/

    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.

    That's why I was asking, most common buckles for dogs are one inch and smaller. Webbing might be another choice as well.

    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.

    Nice work Josh.
  22. Tree Reaper
    Nice, very unique!

    They look good, thanks for posting the pictures.

    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.
