A Gifted Scantic - Clean Up [Pic Heavy]

[d4k23]

Please do and post it! I saw another thread where you cleaned a stem with a magic eraser, bar keep cleaner, and toothpaste. If I can clean stems without micromesh, that would be awesome!
And I used way too much toothpaste, haha.

And I used way too much toothpaste, haha.

I did the first few times too. :rofl:
There's a way to remove oxidation with just a lighter and a wet paper towel too. I've used that one on my past two or three cleanups. May do the GBD that way.

I'm dying to pick up a cheap estate pipe somewhere, just so I can try my hand at restoration. I'm not suggesting it's easy, but I must admit I'd envisioned spending as much on specialist cleaning equipment and tools as I would on the pipe itself. I had no idea many of the most effective methods employed everyday household goods.
