Hi all!
I picked up a nice little lot of estate pipes the other day. There is a nice Dr. Grabow Omega within the bunch of them. I like this pipe a lot and want to restore it to add it into my rotation.
The only problem, aside from the usual "Estate Pipe Stuff", is that the stem is split about halfway down from the button.
I was going to drill a small hole at the end of the crack to prevent further cracking, then fill that hole with the usual charcoal and superglue, then apply superglue into the crack best I can. Would this be the recommended method that y'all would use also?
I heard a rumor that there is black superglue, should I source some of that and use that instead?
thanks all!
