Trying out some vulcanite "restoration" tonight. Chasing Embers suggested I get a magic eraser and a manicure block. I went with this stick version instead. Not enough experience to know if it was the right move but they seem pretty much disposable anyway.
Right now I'm just using those tools and some water and it's coming along pretty nicely. Don't look too close though, I scratched the hell out of it at first. But this thing was the color of a manilla envelope a half hour ago.
On another note, I found some links here to the YT channel "High Grade Pipe Repair & Restoration." If you haven't seen it, you should. It's pure entertainment. Dude is exacting and concise in a way that is incredibly engaging because he describes parts and processes starting almost from the material science level right up to install. And in very few words. Which I'm going to attempt to emulate by shutting the heck up and getting back to it. G'nite.
