Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - View Single Post - Finishing Pipe Without Buffer

BamBam · 05-25-2011, 05:58 PM

I have some pipes I would like to refinish.

I just finished deoxidizing one of the stems and cleaning the pipe.

I ordered a solid bar of carnauba wax, not realizing you almost have to have a buffer to use it, as it's hard as a rock.

Is there a way to use this solid bar to shine the pipe and stem without a buffer???

I saw one guy make a mixture using melted carnauba wax and some olive oil where it was slightly softer and able to be applied without a buffer.

Can anyone help me out?

I really don't want to have to drop the money in a buffer right now if I can avoid it.

(But, on another note if anyone has a used bench buffer they aren't using and are willing to sell, PM me, I can always put a trade together also if that's what you're looking for)
