Fixable…?

Blending the transition from epoxy to the vulcanite is not a trivial thing. In the process of trying to do that I removed more of the patch than I would have liked, we’ll see how it holds up. Need to get a rubber for it for certain.

We’ll call this a learner pipe - glad it was cheap. Overall it looks pretty, so long as you don’t look too close at the mouthpiece…View attachment 119133View attachment 119134

Nice job ?.

Thank you friend. If it were a decent pipe (≥ $5000.00) I would have a new stem made, barring that I would scratch it up again and add more epoxy to resahape the lip and feather a little further. But it was all for fun. Gaining respect by the minute for those folks who do this sort of thing at a high level.View attachment 119160

I've seen stems with no repairs in worse shape. You did a great job.
