And if you do apply anything to the form, use a small paint brush or Q-tip to get only on the metal

Don't use WD-40. If you have to use some kind of lubricant, use a silicon-based one that won't stain (Giga-A-Loo comes to mind, if that's available in your area). I guess sewing machine oil would also be much cleaner (and less toxic!) than WD-40. The best thing you could do, though, is take the thing apart and give all rusted pieces a good scrub with a steel wool pad first to get rid of the rust. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
