Retort

[livwire68]

O' and by the way I bought one of those fancy retorts for restoring pipes. Damn ebay. I guess I'll be restoring pipes.

I guess I'll be sending mine your way, then.


j/k Nice pipe, though. Cool setup, too.

Pipe not included just the glass retort. Ebay or uncleaned estate pipes will be my friend from here on out. Read the stickies and found this was the best way to start the restoration. Once again thanks to the stickies. You may just want to send your pipes to me always willing to experiment. No seriously! P.S. I mean it!

i sent one to ScottM and if you check the "FAQ" topic, you can see photos of him working it.

also, be careful when you use it - don't get it too hot, or you'll MELT your stems... trust me, i know, i've done it.

Dang that sucks. I bought one a while back. It really works great for getting the funk out an old pipe.
