Marks,

Thanks for your reply! I will try the tan compound.


alexanderfrese,

I should have clarified. I don't make pipes, just polish them for myself and a few friends. Usually with a vulcanite bit, depending on condition, I'll start with Tripoli, move to the white, then to the carnuba.

Hi Guys,

I'm having trouble getting my Acrylic stems to shine like my vulcanite stems. Do you do anything different for polishing Acrylic vs. vulcanite? I've restored all my vulcanite stems but my acrylic one never seem to shine as well as the vulcanite.

Thanks for your replies.

I have a couple of pipes that I would like to strip of the finish, and then restain and polish them. I have a buffer I use to polish pipes. Should I use it to remove the finish or hand sand it down?

Thanks for you help!
