I've tried it on enamel boning after cutting it...not that great, but
better than the bare bone. I've never thought to use it on hoop wire.

rigging". (This
Thank you all SO much - it's been very enlightening
and highlighted the possible false economy of using
overly pointy/stiff/scratchy boning. I had also
forgotten the effigy corset was boned with baleen -
and I think in terms of general experimentation I
