Beat Pete's

Nice job! What color stain did you use? Did you set the stain with flame? I just ordered some Fiebings stain but I'm nervous about "setting the stain" with a match/lighter.

"It'll buff out! :nana: For $12, you can't go wrong. Maybe you can get new silver furniture from Pete.

Don't be Al.

When it's lit you get the barest bit of a blue flame. No whoosh or anything spectacular, just a brief soft flame that generally goes out of it's own accord quickly

Thanks OTD. I am getting ready to restore a Charatan After Hours and don't want to melt the acrylic extension or burn down my shop...(I'll mask off the acrlic stem portion)

Can you post a closer up picture of the "Toronto" pipe? I sure would be interested to see that one, as I live there haha.

I didn't set the stain just wiped on and wiped off.Ulrich I will try and get a pic of that Toronto pipe up tonight.
