Wood Soap ?

[dd57chevy]

Was looking at an estate lot on E-Bay & this was in the description :

"I purchased pipes off eBay that are in good shape. I submerge them in the woods soap for 60 minutes. I wash them out in the sink. I did about 600. No real bit damage all the aluminum works good. Usually when I get them they are bizarrely locked up and filthy "

Anybody know anything about this ? What is Wood's soap ? Recommended ?

I have no idea. Murphy's oil soap maybe. Pine tar soap? One is for wood, the other sort of made from it.

In Canada, Woods is a company that makes camping stuff, such as propane burners. Reading your description, I would just avoid this sale/seller altogether.

I'd assume they mean Murphys Oil soap. I know a lot of pipers swear by it for keeping their pipes clean and shiny.

I would avoid this listing like it has bursting plague pustules. Soaking pipes in soap for an hour reads like a very, very bad idea.
Poor defenseless pipes...

Poor defenseless pipes...

What did they ever do to him to deserve such treatment? Haha

Yeah I agree though, whenever I hear wood and soap together I think of Murphy's oil soap. Weird stuff. Used it once to "restore" some old woven grass panel inlay in the dining room of a 100 yo house my dad and I remodeled.

Didn't seem to me to actually clean well and left everything with a weird stinky greasy coating. I'm sure it has some legitimate uses but idt a pipe is one of them

That’s either Murphy’s Oil Soap or another brand (if there is one)

He has a good idea, you know?

I'm not sure . Soaking a briar pipe sounds kind of questionable.........

Must be a splinter group from the Water Cult.

The crappiest Marxman in the history of the world is in the mail to me.




Let’s see how well an hours soak in Murphy’s Oil Soap improves it, you know?

Except that much Murphy’s might equal the $10 cost of the Eye Talyen Marxman.

Well , I suppose , since you have 7-800 Marxmans , I guess experimenting on a $10 beater wouldn't hurt .

Here’s a $10 Algerian briar “Custom Made” I just bought.



Normally I’d use Everclear to clean that.


But my wife and my mother both swore by Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean wood.

And so did Wilda Mae Hosterman and my Grandmother.

They couldn’t all have been wrong.

Murphys has citronella oil in it, so theoretically once you clean your pipe with it you will repel mosquitoes.
Smells like victory.

Well yeah but it might not taste like victory.

Nah, for that you have to cool your Coca Cola with ice cubes with .45 acp ammunition frozen into them. Back to back world war champs!

Did you try the Murphy's soak on that pipe ?

Great to see an honest seller. Why anyone would admit to such a treatment is beyond me.
