Indy Report post Posted December 16, 2009 I'm using round brass lacing needle with a dimond point and a wind end for screwing in the pointed leather lace. It happened to me the 3rd time now that the lace broke just after the wind ends, so there is no more excess leather left to unscrew it from the needle. I tried to work it out again with a round awl but didn't had any sucess. How did I managed to get it out the other 2 times? hat was quit easy, I put the problem a side and bought bought a new one each time it happened I was thinking of cook it out in water but didn't gave that a try yet since I fear that the leather will stick to it ven more afzerwards. Does anyone of you folks know a proper method of solving this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
