brands01 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 It sounds like uou are using a Line 20 snap, which is too small for that weight of leather. You need a line 24 whic will have a longer shaft and a larger cap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt S Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Are you skiving the entire thickness of the leather, or just around the hole where you are fixing the stud? Also, where are you getting your studs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
