PIN/MOTH
HOLES: Lots of pennants have moth holes or pin holes. Sometimes there is nothing that can be done; however, I have seen some real magic done by utilizing a sharp pin to work the existing material on the pennant into the hole. This really works!!!! It takes some patience and a steady hand but you can really improve the appearance of a lot of pennants in your collection using this method. Each pennant still needs to be addressed on a case by case basis but in general the method is the same. Utilize the tip of the pin to work the fibers of the pennant around the hole into the hole. This can be done on from the front and back. We are just talking fibers here! Your drawing loose fibers into the hole. Don’t rake the area around the hole to hard or you may do more damage than good. |
