Good luck, Sue. Also check their head pin collection, some of them are super long, and cheap!

@Cindy Lietz from Polymer Clay Tutorial - Embedded Links: Will take a look at the Amaco website many thanks. @Jocelyn: I also like your turkey pin suggestion but I don' think they will be easy to find in Italy! I will also check out Firemountaingems. Thanks.

@Susan B: I love Jocelyn’s idea for the turkey baster pins though they are thicker than the bead piercing pins that come with the rack. You can also order extra pins directly from Amaco if you want more the same size. They aren’t too expensive at around $5.75 for 50. Go to amaco.com for more info.

@Susan B: Sue, try firemountaingems.com for needles that are the same dimension, and I also found that my old turkey pins work on it. The turkey pins are cheap and replacable at any kitchenware isle.

I would like to buy some new pins for my AMACO rack and was wondering if anyone has found a supplier who sells the pins without the rack? Many thanks.

Lol! The rust comment sounds like experience talking.
Thanks for the warning.
