    Some Questions About Using G/flex Epoxy

    I have had a couple of problems using the West System G/flex 655 and System Three Black Epoxy Pigment. First, there are tiny pits in the repaired material; second, the repair seems to be more vulnerable to teeth marks than vulcanite. My process has been to thoroughly mix the epoxy, add a few...

    The Benefits of Having Children

    A significant piece of the answer for me is that we have kids for them. That is, the gift of existence/life is something we give them, not something we do primarily for ourselves. It's about what they get out of it, not just what we get out of it.

    Broken Shank Repair

    Thanks georged. The stainless sleeve sounds like a good idea. By the way, are you the creator of the videos I mentioned? In reading posts here and there on PM I've thought that maybe you were.

    Broken Shank Repair

    This Brigham sat in a box for a couple of years before I finally decided to try repairing it. My inspiration was some YouTube videos on the “High Grade Pipe Repair & Restoration” channel. This was my first time to try a broken shank repair. I used a needle in a pin vise to make tiny...

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    Here's the end product of the project I mentioned above. I used G/flex 655 epoxy and SystemThree black pigment. I'm pleased with how it turned out, although there are a few very small pits (hardly visible to the naked eye) that may have resulted from not mixing the epoxy thoroughly enough...

    Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

    Yes. Smoking a pipe is sometimes a part of times of prayer.

    Reamer Recommendations

    I broke the handle on one Pipnet knockoff (a Castleford) and then got another. I also have a Kleen Reem, which is less useful than I hoped it would be, although I may need to be patient and learn to use it better. Another that I like a lot is a little spring-loaded Bradbury Pocket Reamer. I...

    Which Oxiclean To Use?

    I've used Tide Multi-Purpose Oxi with good results, but now I use Bar Keepers Friend with 0000 steel wool or a kitchen scrub pad. Almost always, however, I follow up with 400, 600, and 800 sandpaper and then micromesh through the whole range: 1500-12000. The Bar Keepers Friend just gets the...
