one of the new pipes I bought today appears to have been vanished or waxed inside the bowl. it's got the sheen of a light treatment of sorts.

Has anyone else come across this before? is there anything I should do before I start to break the pipe in?

I would roll up a piece of paper towel and dip it in Everclear or 151 Rum. Then give the bowl a good going over with that. I think it should remove whatever it has been coated with.

thanks guys. it will be nice when I get the chance to pass some knowledge on. I'm asking loads of questions! But like my ole granny said - if you never ask you'll never know!
