Stick Badge Fitting Instructions Fitting your badge to the stick is not difficult here are some helpful tips:

Required tools: 1 mm drill bit or a bradawl and small hammer. Position your badge where you want it on the stick and mark the hole sites. Start off the holes with a bradawl or 1mm drill bit. Re-position the badge insert the nails and with the stick on a solid surface tap the nails home firmly but carefully and try not to hit your badge.

Fit Badge to Thicker 1¼" Sticks Instructions

The badges will spread with just a little persuasion. Badges need to be positioned on stick face down on a solid surface on a piece of wood (to stop any damage to the badge detail) another piece of wood on top of the stick (to protect the stick) is then hit sharply with a hammer, this is a two man job or vice and clamps if alone. Other white metal coins are too tough for this procedure.
