   ok cajunguy, i may redo that. i did soak then both in oxyclean for ~ 4 hours. it is worth a try i guess, maybe i just did not give then enough soak time to begin with... thank you sir

   thanks Al for your compliments, i like your refurb on the After Hours, glad it smokes good for you. hey Al iam considering buying a buffing wheel one of these days.

   take care all.

   Mike:
   I find that stubborn oxidation spots come back if not completely removed with 1500 grit wet paper, used dry OR a needle file or sharp knife to carefully scrape off the oxidation. On my Charatan refrubs that showed up near the creases a day or two after the initial sanding. I've learned to let them sit a day or two to see if any brown shows back up. Than, once removed, it seems completely, it seems to not return.

   ok Al thanks for the tips. i keep looking at the stems and think, well i may wait until i have smoked them both and then do another round of soaking, sanding and polishing.
