I have a reel of uncut spiral steel boning that I've had for a while, still in the bag the shop put it in. I took it out last night because I want to use it for a wedding dress I'm making for a friend, but it seems to have a really strong, acrid smell to it. I know it will be in a casing and below a couple of layers of fabric, but as it's a wedding dress I don't really want the bride to be able to smell it! Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution? I don't want to clean it with WD40 or anything, as obviously that could leave marks on the fabric. Would it help if I just "aired" it?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Kate
