Expert's opinion
Pavla Nováková
Craft isn't just about feel – it's about understanding the material and the process. If it works in my workshop, it'll work in yours.
I’ve always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with snap buttons. That thin top plate may look elegant, but it can be pretty tricky during setting. Just a slight misalignment, and the plate gets crushed or sits unevenly.
After testing various sizes and setting methods, I finally found what works best: a press with a piston. It applies pressure exactly where it should, and the result is straight, clean, and most importantly – reliable.
A manual setter? I use that too, but with snap buttons, it’s always a bit of a gamble. The angle, the force, the steadiness of your hand… everything has to line up. And even after years of practice, things can still go wrong.
My recommendation? If you have access to a press, definitely go for it. You’ll save not only time and material, but also your nerves. And if a press isn’t available, manual setting can still work – just expect each snap button to ask for a bit of extra patience (and finesse).
