Always remember that a clean cut is not the only option.
It is possible to use expanding curtain wire which will give a ploughed =
field texture..
Just take half a yard and strip of the plastic coating. Then stretch =
this beyond its elastic limit to get an extended open coil spring. Lots =
of ways to use this little treasure of a tool. create straight or curly =
furrows.
Best regards,
Ivor.

Hi,

What is the curtain wire? I can picture the coil spring for a screen door,
but it's not plastic encased.
Thanks,
Catherine from Yuma, AZ
