Believe this was discussed earlier this year and Arkle as always came out with a sound suggestion or explanation.

Maybe a good time to use the search facility I suggest.

Lagartun produce flat, varnished (to prevent tarnishing), tinsel.

There are a number of Uk sellers that stock Lagartun - Lathkill, Sportfish, Lakeland immediately spring to mind - worth checking to see if they stock flat gold and silver.

Try polishing up your old tinsel with Jewellers Rouge on a cloth,you then have a choice of dull or shiney tinsel.

Veniard's also do the most comprehensive range of metal tinsels on the U.K. market.

There's a shop in New York called "The Tinsel Trading Company" that are THE specialists worldwide if you want to go the whole hog, that's the place.
