    what type of iron filing did you use? i have a tendency to put a pin between my lips on occasion or prick myself with one plus i have allergies, so curious what type of iron filing.

    My bad, it is called emery sand. For some reason I had iron shavings in my head. It feels like that when you hold the stuff. it is real heavy. Good stuff though. You can get it as well on Etsy.
