How to attach US NAVY M42 Flat Buttons
Place the cloth on a rubber board, etc., and punch a 2 mm diameter hole at the button mounting position.
Place the button on a rubber board, etc., and insert the rivet into the center of the button through a 2 mm diameter hole.
Note) When driving rivets into buttons, use a rubber board, etc., as it requires moderate hardness and flexibility that does not damage the button surface.
Apply the tip of the Hand Press Stick to the Rivet head and lightly hit the head of the Hand Press Stick twice with a plastic hammer.
Note-1) Make sure that the Rivet head fits in the edge around the tip of the Hand Press Stick.
Note-2) Slightly larger plastic hammer is suitable for driving Rivets into Buttons with a certain level of strength without damaging the object. If not, use a metal hammer.
The 3rd work which is hit the head of the hand press stick twice lightly is supposed not to be enough to drive the rivet into the button completely. Repeat the 3rd work till the button is not too loose.
Note) Avoid over-driving. If you drive the rivet too hard into the button, the rivet may loosen on the contrary. We recommend you to remain the button a little turnable not try them not to move at all.
While unfamiliar, paying attention not to over-driving, do it to divide into several times. Finally, make sure it is not too loose, and you are done.
