Review on 🚒 Glarks 120-Piece Stainless Steel Marine Grade Snap Button Fastener Kit with Setting Tool – Perfect for Canvas and Upholstery Boat Covers (40 Sets) by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for my project!

I LOVE that I could choose a darker color to get closer to the dark blue fabric I used for my mosquito nets. I LOVED how easy it was to attach the buttons to the wood and fabric. I like the way they look I hope. If necessary, I use door locks. Now this screen is attached with small nails. Didn't want to use velcro. I didn't like that there were no instructions in the box. I'm familiar with skin buttons so I figured it out, but a beginner might struggle without instructions. I didn't like that there was no die in the set. The frame was folded in 4 layers so I needed a hole punch. Again I used one of my leather punches to make the correct hole for the snap lid. A punch of this size is 1/8 inch in diameter. I used waterproof fabric for my frame and punched holes in the frame, then attached the screen to wood, then used the holes as guides and pre-drilled for the base of the latch. He removed the screens and inserted the latch into the wooden base. Then finally insert the cover latches into the holes in the frame (note: always make sure the correct side is up, otherwise the latches will not line up with the bases). I left the brackets in the screens to make sure which side was correct and double check! I also only made three sides, the bottom of the screen is concrete. I'm sorry this review took so long. Check out YouTube Sailrite, very helpful.
