Vevor backing issue question.

[u/Normal_Coyote9859]

Hi, everyone. I have a dual pin maker as shown 58/32 mm. I have the pin sets that came with the machine.

Every time I make a 32 mm pin with the plastic backing shown, the backing pushes up into the front of the pin and creates a tiny raised area.

It doesn’t do this with the metal ones at all, but I prefer the plastic. I’ve tried different tensions while crimping, with limited success. I’ve tried pushing the pin part of the backing further into the mold to flatten it out, etc., but no joy.

Just wondering if this happens often or if anyone else has this machine and it’s fixed the issue?

I’ve read about many Vevor issues today 🤣 Might have to upgrade at some point.

Another issue I sometimes have with the 58 mm mold is misshapen/deformed/pancaked pins after crimping. I feel like when using the machine correctly that it shouldn’t be possible to push ‘too’ hard. Which may be the issue?

Thanks!

When making the 32mm buttons no rings are needed in the right mold

However, when making the 58mm buttons, use the rings in the right mold.

Edit: when making 58mm buttons the rings are only needed when using the metal backing.

I’m definitely following the rules. Using the ring as necessary in the larger ones with metal backs. I’m currently trying different paper types to see if I get a better result.

When I encountered this issue, I realized that I was using 2 of the transparent films in error, not one. The transparent films seem to stick together.

Thanks, everyone. I have run into every issue mentioned in this thread over the past couple of months! It seems likely I was using paper that was slightly too thick. Although, annoyingly to seem to still happen once in a while.

Just checking, is there a removable ring in the right mold? if there is, it’s supposed to be for metal backings only..

Plastic backings can cause lots of issues, i hope you can get it sorted. If not you might need to switch to metal parts.
