Exactly. This one is out of brass and in traditional style of Ostfriesland, a region in northern Germany and the Netherlands.
Alternatively: file that fucker down then hit it with some sandpaper then a scouting pad, and worry less overall about it. Nail files would be fine even, just clean them with a hard bristled brush after. That metal should be pretty soft.
Thanks, I should probably try that once the slippers fall off.
The slippers have their own cute charm though I'll admit
Stop it! Violence is not the solution!
The slippers are so cute though!
And you have your username from it. Nice
Stove got drip
Do you use sterno for that?
Sorry, what's sterno? Non-native English speaker here.
alcohol gel pot, the little tins with blue goo in them used by caterers.
Though judging by the small glass in there you either burn alcohol directly or use a candle.
Ah, thank for the explanation. No, we are using small candles.
In the US we call them "tea candles" and I only now realized why.
Yeah I was about to mention that, It's exactly where that terminology came from.
