Nylon vs plate snaps

[GojuGrin]

I've found topics saying either snap making method is ok and know folks have done all nylon snaps and others who did plate. Is there any negative to doing all nylon or is plate snaps the way to go?

 

I know it's largely a preference thing but would love knowing if anyone is aware of cons or wish they'd done it differently.

 

Thanks in advance.

I like using nylon webbing for my snaps. I take a solder iron to burn a hole through and melt it to keep it from fraying. I find the webbing allows you to glue onto curved areas easier. The E-6000 soaks into the webbing as well--giving you a nice strong bond.

It seemed like nylon snaps would be easier to make, just want to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank you.

I originally did mostly plates, some nylon. Nylon ones where it was curved. Nylon ones can also be handy if height makes a difference.

I like both, but the webbing snaps are far easier to make and apply.
