[C320-list] upholstery snaps

[Barbara Uhlman]

Jeff, these snaps are still pretty new and stiff.  Will try soap.  Thanks for the tip.

Hi Barb,

We have that problem sometimes.  Buff the boat side of the snaps lightly with some steel wool if they show any signs of corrosion or buildup.  Then rub a little dish soap,  a candle or bar of soap on it. Should work fine after that.

Hi,

The boat was splashed this week and yesterday we went there to clean out the cabin, water tanks, etc.  I found several of the salon upholstery snaps unsnapped and could not snap them.  Are there any secrets to this?  Thanks.
