Members Allen Hiltbrand Posted June 17 Members Report Posted June 17 (edited) I heard horror stories about Tandy Leather rivets being low quality. I have a question. I think I'm gonna start selling my work. And I want to know if the nickle plate is gonna wear off of the tandy leather wide double cap rivets? I bought the silver ones. Silver nickle plate wide double cap rivets. Edited June 17 by Allen Hiltbrand Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 17 Contributing Member Report Posted June 17 Not so much as wear off but as they age and/or get wet the nickel plating will come off as rust forms under the plating I rarely use nickel plated steel rivets. Mostly I use nickel plated brass or plain brass rivets Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Allen Hiltbrand Posted June 18 Author Members Report Posted June 18 Ok. Thank you for the insight. I'm gonna try to sell my craftool rivet press. I can't find brass rivets from tandy. Lol. I'm disappointed. I might not be able to sell stuff in make from supplies from tandy. That sucks!!! I just started leatherworking a few months ago. My favorite thing to do is make belts!!! Quote
