    What the ... ?

    Ungood. One of the prongs broke completely off my XMTS kilt pin.
    I've never had a pin do that before. I usually lose the backing piece but this ... hopefully my brother can weld it or something.


    CT - it did however hold onto the fabric quite well afterward.

    CT,

    There were some weld problems with the last batch of XMTS pins (this is why Steve has been working on finding a better supplier since he became Minister of X Marks Propoganda).


    Get thee hence to Michaels or Beverly's craft store and find thee the jewelry section. You should be able to find a package of pin backs for a couple of dollars and just attach a couple with a bit of 2 part epoxy (not super glue)

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Aye. 2 part expoxy is the counterpart to the two tools any man needs. Duct Tape (or JB Weld/2 part exopy, etc.) to make things not move when they do, and WD-40 to makes things more when they don't.

    But heed the words of Panache. He speaks volumes in little time.

    paraquoting... Churchill.

    * Sorry it took me a minute to find the exact quote from Winston Churchil... "From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put." Not that anybody did that, it's just that speaking in tongues gets me all riled up, LOL!
