| Marine snaps are very useful in a variety of creative ways. The female snap is fastened to any top, side, or bottom binding in
about 4 minutes start to finish. The male snap is on a 5/8" inch screw stud which can be screwed into most surfaces, including masonry, by using a $4 masonry drill bit and plastic insert casing to receive the screw.
Marine snaps are great for securing the 2 upper corners of a curtain when using a Velcro attachment, or on side bindings (about every 2 to 3 ft) to secure to a wall or column. You will place the female snaps onto the side bindings with a tool that we will provide so that you can place them exactly where they are required. Once the female snaps are fastened, position the male screw-in snaps so that that the binding is stretched semi-taut between snaps. This will force the binding to lay flat against your attachment surface.
Marine snaps are perfect for bottom bindings and can be used sparsely every 8 to 12 ft or as needed. Typically, this is the same spacing between support columns so you can either snap to the base of the support column or to the floor near a support column out of the way so no one will stub a toe. Use a bit of horizontal tension between snaps so the binding will lay nice and flat.
Fastening marine snaps using provided tool
1. Punch a small hole in the binding and insert button post.
2. Overlay the female socket over the button post.
3. Use the provided tool and whack the tool to flare the button post to fasten female snap.
4. Snap the binding to the screw-studded male snap. All in about 4 minutes.
