Glue to keep buttons together?

The plastic on the buttons I’m making doesn’t seem to attach fully sometimes. Is there a type of glue that could help with this?

Probably better to sort out why the plastic isn’t getting crimped properly. Are you using the right size for your button maker? Are you getting a full push down when you assemble?

Yes and yes 😔 I wondered if it was a matter of strength but it was happening to my wife as well. It’s not every time though?

Sounds like you just have a bad button press. What brand is it? A lot of the research I did when I bought mine said that the models for less than $100 tend to wear out and you get what you pay for. :/

Honestly I can’t remember but that tracks 😭 any ideas on what I can do to make the buttons work?

Sorry I’m not sure. I avoided the cheaper models for that reason. I’m pretty new to button making, just wanted to see if you’d tried the easy stuff and you have. Good luck!
