Corn Cob Stem Repair

[john019]

What type of glue is used on a corn cob stem? It looks like just plain Elmer's glue that you would use in grade school, but it can't be. Can it???

If you're talking about the shank to bowl connection, you got it. Elmer's white glue or wood glue are great for that.

You kids with your pipes and cobs... :x
When I was your age, we used to sniff the glue directly!

When I get to your age I'll need assisted living! :rofl:

Glue em up!

I thought of drywall plaster, but can’t be
Must be ordinary wood glue , maybe add a little wood flour for thickener

They use plaster to fill the gaps in the kernels, but it really is just plain old white glue.

Seeing it misspelled as Cron Cob was kind of startling. ::

 

[crashthegrey]

It is creamed cron crob. But yes, plain old white glue.

I mixed gorilla glue type II with microlight fairing compound , perfect colour match for the Missouri meerschaum
Light skim filled all the voids , touch up sanding with #400 and the old cron cob is like new ..

Thanks for outlining the cornological steps you took.

 

[bluto]

In cornological order

Such explicit cornography!

Friggin' cron cobs!

I only smoke my cron cobs whilst I watch my pron.

Better watch you don't get crapal tunnel syndorme from too much pron. I heard it's a leading cause of PAD, but only in the cron cob arena.

Fixed the title.

 

[crashthegrey]

Ah, one of those threads where we will all look silly in a few years when there is no recollection of why we obsessed over cron pron.
