Members talon Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 I'm wondering if you guys know where I could find Black double cap rivets. At a number of leather suppliers you can find a steel rivet http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/1373-13.aspx that isn't very dark and typically the black finish is quickly rubbed off. I've seen them before on leather goods but have no idea where to find them. They almost look like they had a black oxide finish or black phosphate. Thanks! Quote
Moderator Art Posted December 1, 2011 Moderator Report Posted December 1, 2011 OTB Page two of the catalog. These are brass rivets with black coating made in Belgium. Good quality product, I use these all the time. Let about 1/4 of the rivet protrude above the leather, if the cap sets lopsided, the rivet is too long, too short and they don't hold well. The rivet/cap should compress the leather just a little. Use a concave anvil and setter or they will dimple. Art I'm wondering if you guys know where I could find Black double cap rivets.
