Introdução

Oh snap! The snap on your jacket just blew out. Fortunately, replacing it is easy. You’ll need the help of a hand press and a new snap. The hand press should be mounted firmly to a sturdy workbench—otherwise, it might slip and damage your project (or worse yet, injure you). Before you get started, make sure you check the fabric to determine whether or not it’s been damaged to the point where it cannot support a new snap. If the fabric has been damaged, you’ll need to sew a reinforcing patch onto the fabric before replacing the snap.

For replacement parts or further assistance, contact Patagonia Customer Service.

    • Slowly pull the handle on the hand press to test the range of the fittings.

    • The fittings should just touch when the handle is pulled to its maximum.

    • Mark the fabric where you will be inserting the snap.

    • Align the fabric in the hand press so that the mark rests directly above the shaft of the cap.

    • If the fabric is not laying flat, have a friend pull the fabric taut to help keep it flat as you insert the snap.

    • The cap is on the bottom of the press. Be sure that you place your fabric face down, so that the cap is on the correct side.

    • With the fabric aligned, pull the handle of the hand press down in one continuous motion.

    • Setting a plastic snap requires little force. You will need to pull hard enough to get the press to its maximum range, but not beyond that.

    • Release the handle of the hand press, and remove the fabric.

    • Inspect both sides of your snap to make sure that it is laying flat and tight up against the fabric. When you inspect the stud side you should see that the nose of the cap has been pressed into a ring; this is what holds the snap parts together.

    • If the snap is not set all the way, reinsert it into the hand press, aligning it as it was before, and repeat step 9 of this guide.

    • Get a new cap.

    • Get a new socket.

    • You will want the color to match on your components—we are using different colors to illustrate that this is a different component than before. If the snap you are replacing has colors on the front and back that differ from each other, then try to match those colors.
