I also Loctite to hold once set. I also use a non-slip plastic to hold the flat side. Actually a piece of the Tandy red plastic sheet for under gluing jobs. With enough down pressure on the screwdriver, it holds pretty well. Just don't let the driver slip and ruin the back of the piece! I also align the slots horizontally, and let the customer to watch the slot alignment from time to time. Sort of a witness mark. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 7, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 7, 2019 I generally put a rubber washer on teh screw ... acts a bit like a lock washer by keeping pressure on the screw. For slings, I include instruction about using a drop er two of thread locker after installing, and check periodically. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members VYO Posted January 7, 2019 Members Report Posted January 7, 2019 Great ideas all around. I tried needle nose pliers and that was a fail. I didn't try my Tandy rubber glue mat. Didn't think about that. I have to be really careful because both sides of the screw are on finished sides.
