Hello! I saw your old post about making buttons on your blog, and I want to say thanks for putting it together! it was the most comprehensive button guide I’ve read. I also had a quick question about the BAM hand press. When I try to make the 1.25 in buttons, the plastic cover sticks out / isn’t completely tucked into the pinback in some places. Have you had this problem? Do you have any tips against this?

I’m glad you found it helpful!

The cover-sealing issue is a common one I had when I first started out.  I also have it sometimes now, as sometimes I get a slightly off/bad batch of parts now and then.

My best advice is to make sure you’re pressing the red disc in as flat and flush as possible.  Some of my friends use a sledgehammer. Look at the back, and make sure you can see the edges of the paper and plastic all around the button face. (See steps 20 and 21 of the guide.)
