Hi /diy/, My badge in the picture has become too worn on the

Size? Might be easier to attach a new pin to it

Something similar,shouldn't be too hard to find one the right size

Take a dremel or really small file and carefully make a new groove on it

Rough the pin up a bit and then add a coating of something to it. Even paint could work for a while... but would recommend an epoxy, superglue, or some sort of jb weld type of adhesive that sets up. Just a light coat. It will increase the diameter of the pin and make it have more texture so the clasp can grip the back again. (alternatively, just try a new clasp? old one may have lost some of its grip strength over time)

Good idea! I'll try this, and >>1025778
If that doesn't work.

I think the groove shouldn't be there

Thank you all for your advice and help!

The groove is what keeps the back on.

No worries mate, curious what the front of the badge looks like though

Have you tried a different clip? Could be the sprinted metal has lost its spring or the thin sheet metal it's made out of has worn throw just enough. Seems like a point of failure no one has suggested yet.

It's the rainbow badge from pokemon, got it off a weird trade deal years ago

Im going to try using a piece of rubber as a sub to see if that's the problem

Many years ago I was browsing this very site when I stumbled across a thread where someone was taking orders from a bunch of other anons. People wanted pokemon badges but the badge makers would only take bulk orders so everyone was in this together. I was underage at the time (this was maybe 5 years ago) so I had no PayPal or payment methods. Desperately I offered my drawfag services in the thread in exchange for a single badge and miraculously! a kind anon took me up on my shitty offer. I drew that man a bear fucking a unicorn (or maybe it was a unicorn fucking a bear) and true to his promise, I got that Rainbow Badge. Everyone then lived happily ever after!

its not the pin thats the problem. its the round clip thing. the metal springs have be pushed out a bit.
