esantoro Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Which double cap rivets does everyone like the most, taking into consideration size and strength, brass or steel? Ed Quote
Members pella Posted February 25, 2007 Members Report Posted February 25, 2007 steel is stronger than brass rivet BUT it rust and rust EAT leather. I use Jiffy, dont know if stronger than other. Tubular rivet with a cap is stronger than jiffy. Quote

Tubular rivet with a cap is stronger than jiffy. I like the tubular rivets with caps too. Which ones do you recommend? I'm using OTB 310, 252, 275, but am having a difficult time with the caps. I will be experimenting with the force fit caps for these rivets, but I'm skeptical about the holding power. Ed Quote
