That’s sad a sad sight. Did it come to you like that?

I don’t know about smoking it. Maybe someone else here has experience with that.

Yes it did.

 

[BrightDarkEyes]

Yes it did.

I would say return it for a replacement or refund if you can. I would be worried about the fracture expanding from the heat and breaking the bowl.

The meerschaum smokers need to chime in. If you can return it for a replacement thats probably the best option. I've read that there is a repair solution you can make with egg whites but I do not know the formula. I would return it. Others will be along shortly I'm sure.

 

[Qwerty53]

Can't return.

Seems to be a calabash bowl. Seal the outside part with plaster of paris , let it dry and fix it on the gourd.

Is that a Falcon bowl or a bowl for some other metal pipe? It looks to be made of Pressed Meerschaum, also called Composite Meerschaum. I've not seen Block Meerschaum crack like that. If it can't be return, I'd smoke it to death. What do you have to lose. Who knows? That may be as bad as it gets. Either way, it can't be returned.

Maybe @Said.ALTINAY can tell us. He’s the expert.

Can't return.

Assuming it doesn’t go through. Smoke it. If it doesn’t get worse a little cake will seal it.

 

[kcghost]

Shame you can't send it back for another one or something. ALTINAy is the guy to tell you what to do or @Chasing Embers .

Egg whites and chalk powder would fix that crack like new.

Because I regularly watch "Just Rolled In", I have to suggest Spray Foam.

Can't return.

Why not?

I definitely wouldn't smoke something like that.

 

[thomasw]

Whoa @Qwerty53 I hope it wasn't an expensive purchase?! I am hoping that @Chasing Embers' suggestion works out well for your pipe and your smoking enjoyment

 

[bullet08]

You can start practicing kintsugi.

Please tell us why it seemingly cannot be returned. Is the seller being a butthead? If so, say who it is.

Thanks so much. I am not tech savvy so can you tell me exactly the dosage of each?

 

[Homer]

Falcon meerschaum bowls cost 40 US dollars. I would throw it away.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I am not tech savvy

Nor am I. Just slowly add chalk to the egg whites until you have a thick paste.
