TOP TIPS!
The miniature Dremel type drills are excellent for cutting and smoothing the ends of synthetic whalebone. Thanks Jen.

This boning is sometimes a little curly when it comes from the roll, you can safely iron or use a heat gun to flatten it. Just put a towel or something similar between the boning and the heat source.

The synthetic whalebone can be smoothed using an emery board exactly the same way that you do your nails. Thanks to Paula for this tip.

If you buy more than one metre we will send you one continuous piece.
