NEWSPAPER

For many scenes the sardines are wrapped in newspaper. We needed a 'greasy' spot in the centre of the page but couldn't have something that came off on the actors' hands or clothes. 

Wax was the solution. We melted some in an old pot and dipped a cloth into it. The cloth was placed between sheets of the newspaper and ironed. A very quick process once we figured out what we were going to do. 

Don't borrow wardrobe's iron. They won't like you.
