Re: [h-cost] brass veil pins

2009-03-17 Thread Joan Mielke
I am in envy of Sarah/Bess' new veil pins.  My supplier discontinued them in
the US.  Does anyone have a reliable source for brass veil pins--the very
plain, but thin ones, about 2 1/2 inches long?

If you can take it apart, use Naval Jelly on the rust.

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.

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

It appears that Urtatim moved her website from its original location; her
articles on Maghrib clothing are all here:

and the article itself is here:
