A many good morrows to you all !
About burn marks :
I know how to deal wirh burn marks on the rim, but how to remove them if they are present on (for instance) the front of the bowl ?
We do not want to alter the shape of the pipe, so sanding and filling is possibly not an option on a smooth bowl, or is it ?
I am working on a wonderful GBD Virgin with outstanding grain; it was a bargain, but it has a nasty burn on the bent shank.
Could they be bleached, like with caustic soda ?
Could Diamond needle files or the dremel do the job on a rusticated or blasted pipe ?
I worked on so many sandblasted Charatan pipes that often show an inconsistent blast ( I love the FH reliefs )
Could one extra little caveat be hardly noticable ?
Besides; so many older Dunhill shell briar shows such deep blasting that it can even make the briar instable .
I hate burn marks :evil:
Please share your thought with me.
Good puffing
