There was a time when I made it a habit of collecting the 904 shape and its variants, had over 40 of them. It's an easy shape to clean up and really satisfying to restore.

If only they were around 1/2 inch deeper. I did however work out a faster means of removing rim build up on this restoration!?
Thanks! It surprised me how quickly it went. Once I started, an hour later I had a smokable pipe.?
Nah, don't own one. After burning off the oxidation I shined the stem up by thumb buffing it with toothpaste and polished the stummel with a jeweler's cloth.
Normally I would scrub the rim with a wet paper towel that required a bit of time to remove all of the build up. This time I used a paper towel and acetone.
Would acetone work on the vulcanite stem, removing sulfur & gunk?
Acetone is available as nail polish remover?
Thanks!
That has to be physically removed as it's an oxidized material by abrasion or burning.
Yep.?
