Hello everyone,

    What is the best way to file/shape/sharpen stainless steel wire for
    pin stems? There are several suggestions in the archives for nickel
    silver, but since I've never worked with stainless I'm not sure
    which would be appropriate. The blue zirconia disks from Ikohe sound
    right, but I can't find a source that will ship to Canada. Thanks in
    advance -- any suggestions would be much appreciated. 

Abigail
