Hot pink fabric is one of my favorties to rust over. <BR/><BR/>Make sure you neutralize with baking soda water as this not only restores the natural pH of cotton fabrics, but also stops the rusting process. You will need to neutralize once a year to keep the rusting process down to a dull roar. Salt water can actually damage your fibers.k baxter packwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894633518508627271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671329.post-1152140281979558672006-07-05T23:58:00.000+01:002006-07-05T23:58:00.000+01:00You can add a design to it with rubber stamps.
