eyelet rivet for .080

[kenstogie]

I have molded some sheaths out of Kydex .080 and the form turned out pretty well. I used some of the foam from a craft store (the kind that's often diff colors and they make mats and childs letters and such out of) and it doesn't last forever but does a decent job. I am good to go except for the rivets or eylets.

I was hoping to get a recommendation as to where to get either chicago screws or easy to use eyelet rivets for .080 kydex. 30-40 would be plenty I'm sure.

I already bought some chicago screws but they didn't screw down enough to clamp the kydex together and the eyelet rivets seem to smush up not make a neat rounded eyelet.

Thanks for your help

Usaknifemaker has an eyelet guide to tell you which ones to get according to kydex thickness. They also sell very high quality eyelets and eyelet setters.

kenstogie,

What size of Chicago Screws didn't screw down enough to clamp two 0.080" kydex sheets?
