I have been setting a few line 24 snaps from tandy on a few things I have made (ukulele strap), and am using 3 oz leather. When I hammer the snap on the post forms the little curl and is secure but the male part and the female part are not in line. Usually the male part, which is visible from the outward facing surface is not longer centered. Not a big deal, unless its on a thin piece of strap and it is more noticable.
Is there something wrong with my technique? Should I shorten the post if I am using thin leather?
Thanks for your help.
