Members Freddo Posted February 23, 2009 Members Report Posted February 23, 2009 I see that Ohio Travel bag sells eyelet washers for their eyelets. What are these typically used for? Are they necessary or optional? Would one use them for arm bracers? Fred Quote

Fred I use them mostly if I'm putting eyelets in chrome tanned or garment leather - keeps the eyelets from pulling through the leather. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Members tonyc1 Posted February 23, 2009 Members Report Posted February 23, 2009 Apart from Stainless steel, I've never used Steel eyelets and Washers, all I've ever used are Brass or painted Brass. Tony. Quote
