i was smoking the pipe i made a few weeks ago on the way to work. i pulled in the parking lot and parked my truck. i noticed my pipe looked wet and then seen red stuff

on my hand. looked like the wax melted and the stain was coming off. well on my break i sanded the remaining wax off and took some stain off with it. the only thing i can think of is i buffed before the stain was dry. been only smoking 1/4 bowls in it to break it in. well i filled it this morning and it melted in my hand. well it looked pretty nice after i lightly sanded it. buffed it a few minutes ago and it looks pretty nice. will smoke it tomorrow and see what happens. here`s a pic i just took.

I just love the look of the grain on that pipe.
Is it a spirit based dye or water based? I suspect it is water based, because I haven't had any problems even remotely similar to this using spirit dyes.
