This may not completely qualify as a "repair" job, but more of a "secure it" job...
I've got a loose shank on both this pipe and another MM hardwood pipe.
Any suggested "repairs" (besides just shoving it in harder) to keep the shank secured to the bowl?
My preference is to NOT use chemical glues and etc. Just a good old fashioned 18th century type of "fix", like a "mud" or something.
I've heard that mixing spit with ash, then compacting it, can create a "brick" of sorts, but I'm not sure how that would perform on a porous bowl.![20240729_101555.jpg 20240729_101555.jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/326/326991-66686d79bbfe5721d6707fba319fe85e.jpg)
