I'm not an old fart at almost 22 but I've been smoking a pipe since I was old enough to buy one so I guess that qualifies me.

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?

Answering your own questions? You are obviously a qualified Old Fart. Duly noted and registered, along with the Kid. Welcome new Old Farts. Thanks for bringing your experience to newbloids with pesky questions.

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.

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.

You are so full of it. You already KNOW the answer to the VD geological hairy tongue question, too. It is wrong to keep asking questions you already know the answer to. Besides, you're hear to ANSWER the hairy tongue pipe smoker VD questions, not ASK them. Jee-zoe. Do you need a manual on this?

They ax - you answer.

Who put you up to this? The Kid?

I like the Micro-Mesh abrasive cloth-backed paper that Smarvy set me up with. It will scour and polish vulcanite, lucite, glass - everything. Great stuff. Never had the good luck with Magic Eraser that others talk about.

I added a link but, if you like, I'll send you some samples to try. You may prefer the foam backed stuff - I have the cloth. The cloth is very washable, soft and bendy - nothing like sandpaper - but the foam stuff might be easier to handle.

Kid Pipe it is, then.

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