Mickey Eyelets

[Ness2289]

I have the the Mickey eyelets that are sold at the Disney World Resort. They are bigger than the others I have from Making Memories. My problem is, I can't seem to set them using my eyelet setter. They are either too hard to hammer or I need a different setter??? I can't make it budge and the first one I attempted to hammer began to split. Help! What should I do? Are there special setters for larger eyelets?

ok, depending on some of the eyelets and also some setters make some eyelets split. they either split into 4's or more...kind of looking like a star on the back. that is normal for some eyelets.

i have never had a problem with them with indenting the back of the pages that are on the other side of it. if it concerns you, just use a scrap of paper and adhere it over the back of the eyelets so you have that added cushion.

I think I worded that wrong. What I should have said is that the back WON'T split but the front of the Mickey head began to crack/break after I hammered. The back won't budge!

I don't have the answer as I haven't tried to set mine yet, but I'm pretty sure this was discussed previously. If you can't find it using search, how about adding the question mark to your thread (there's a radio button to select if you go back & edit it - below the text entry area I believe) - and maybe add to/change your title to something like "setting Mickey eyelets ??? " Then you might get some other people to respond who know what they're doing.

Question - Are you using the "one size fits most" setter that came with the MM tool kit? Or the 3/16" size from the Universal Eyelet Setter set? I got the universal setter (with a coupon of course LOL) because I had some flat-topped eyelets that were supposed to be 1/8" but were actually slightly smaller & the one-size-fits-most type didn't work. I had problems using it (the old one) with a few of my 3/16" eyelets also.

Maybe that would help? But if you're like me you don't want to waste any!

Thanks! Doing the search helped!

I used my Mickey eyelets for the first time this past weekend and I used "The Silent Setter" to set mine...no problems, no bending or cracking. With the Silent Setter you do not use a hammer...you twist the knob on the setter..hence the name The Silent Setter.
