OH has a shirt that has press studs on them. One of them doesnt work anymore. How can I repair it?
Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

It doesnt stay pressed together. (If that makes sense) I think if you take it off the shirt will rip? Arethey put on with some implement?Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!0

I've managed to fix a metal one before with a small pair of radio pliers. If you can see the metal teeth that grip the stud you can sometimes squeeze them in a bit and make them grip tight again,but sometimes they're just too small & you can't get pliers or tweezers into them. They are usually put on by machine so would be very difficult to remove without ruining the shirt,I would think.0

Lie the stud on a solid surface with the peg sticking up and give the peg a sharp tap with a hammer.northwest1965 wrote: »OH has a shirt that has press studs on them. One of them doesnt work anymore. How can I repair it?
We are not talking sledge hammer and full swing, just enough to swell the end so that it will hold in the cradle again
I used to have the same problem with the studs on my boiler suit at work and did this as & when required.0 -
