New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

[Curly Cut]

What's the best way to get rid of oxidation from stems without having to buy a buffer?
sandpaper; toothpaste; gloss over it with olive oil; only have lucite stems?

I didn't have as good as luck with the magic eraser as I thought I would have, based on the recommendations from everybody. It somewhat worked, but still left behind quite a bit. If I would have worked them more then I did I fear I would have removed too much stem material. Not to mention you still have to buff them backup afterwards somehow as they will be pretty dull from the magic eraser.

I think in the end a buffer is going to be called for. Only thing I am still having trouble with on the restoration processes is stems.

I'm afraid so, Nick. At 22 you're well qualified to be an Instructor Old Fart but I'm going to call you The Kid or Kid Pipe. With all due respect. Unless it bothers you - in which case, you don't have to be The Kid. This is a cordial thread and there's no way I'll tag you with a (Quick) Nick Name you don't fancy.

Kid Pipe it is, then.

Any pipe/tobak questions for an Old Fart out there, people? We don't have all day.
