I had a bad thing happen once...

I was heating up a stem by the button because of a bite mark, the vulcanite was thin and I poked a hole straight through the stem with a sharp pointy thing! Don't do that.

Since that moment, when I want to remove bites, dents, or reshape a stem I ALWAYS slide a pipe cleaner completely through the stem and leave it there before I take the flame to the stem.
2 cents...

Not bad for a first try I think. Maybe another little sanding before I get the oxidation off.
