Hello there, just wanted to a careful warning about theese snaps from my otherwise all-time-favourite supplier Rocky Mountain Leather Supply.
It's the THK ones, I used the antique brass ones on a rugged wallet for a friend. He managed to get it wet and not only did they corrode and rust but they miscolored the leather heavily!
Thank God it was on a small project, that was supposed to look rugged and made for a friend.
Anyhow, NO grudge against RMLeather here and I await further investigation from their customer support.
Its probably the wearers fault when getting a wallet wet. But life is life and things happens so its sad either way so this will surely make me hesitate to use theese snaps in the future.

Sick! This must be iron ions reacting with the tannic acids. Vinegaroon inside the leather.
