Mouldy Pipe Anyone? [Pics].

[woodsroad]

I always thought that someone should make a Murphy's Oil aromatic tobacco.

Just dab a little behind the ears.... job done!

"I always thought that someone should make a Murphy's Oil aromatic tobacco."
Dan, therein lies your next project.......I shall be at the end of the queue when it comes to trials ::
"Is that you done with cars now?"
"Why can't you drive?"
George and Workman, unfortunately my deteriorating physical health limits my movement, specifically in my spine and neck thereby making me a hazard to myself and other road users. Also it causes me much pain and discomfort.....but I get by. It breaks my heart giving up my wheels, I live in one of the most beautiful parts of my Country (Cornwall) and I do miss not being able to view it when I so choose. I'm aged 56 yet have the body of a 96 yearold......I just hope my marbles are more in keeping with my true age and stay that way.
Ever smiling this end folks..... ::
Regards,
Jay.

I'm happy it all worked out.

 

[jpmcwjr]

All best wishes, Jay! Glad for you the pipe cleaned up and works fine. Sad I don't get a nice estate.....

 

[workman]

<p>I know a few people with an illness that makes their spine stiff and bent. They all look somewhat disabled, but certainly don't sound like it when they talk.<br />
All the best to you Jay. I love your posts, including the BBC bulletins

Shine On...you crazy diamond!

 

[craiginthecorn]

Boiling. Interesting!

Shine On...you crazy diamond!

Indeed.

 

[weezell]

I feel your pain Brother! Stay strong...

 

[jpmcwjr]

I bet a photo of the clean up would be appreciated by many.

I can imagine that was something of a surprise but glad it has turned ok, Jay. I think I too would have tried to salvage it but I would never have thought of microwaving it. Did the mould spread anywhere other than the pipe? I mean, I wouldn't want a mouldy car or gloves.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I'm glad this worked out. I've tossed my fair share of pipes, but giving up one you enjoy is terrible. Bravo Jay! :clap:

"They all look somewhat disabled, but certainly don't sound like it when they talk."
Workman, having a disability doesn't necessarily mean one's speech is impeded, it simply means a certain part of one's body is not functioning correctly.
"I bet a photo of the clean up would be appreciated by many."
John, it's nothing special but I will try to oblige on the morrow.
"Did the mould spread anywhere other than the pipe? I mean, I wouldn't want a mouldy car or gloves."
Jazz, actually there are signs of mould on the passenger seat and all over the steering wheel.....why I could not say but it shall be cleaned with a weak bleach solution prior to sale.
Anyone after a 2002 Skoda Fabia 1.6i with 107,000 on the clock......two careful and clean owners??? ::
Regards,
Jay.

Sounds like a bit of a nuisance. Had the same thing happen with a works van that was not used for a couple of months once. We opened her up one day to get on the road and the cab was full of the stuff with no obvious cause.

All's well that ends well. I wonder if perhaps the rusticated part just gave the mold a stronger foothold. More rough patches to grab on to as opposed to the mold free smooth part on the underside of the shank. Anyhow, best wishes for happy spring days in Cornwall with your resurrected pipe!

 

[bannyc9]

That looked nasty... Glad it worked out for you, especially if the pipe had meaning to you.

 

[jpmcwjr]

The smooth part could have had a varnish or shellac applied to preserve the nomenclature better.
Seldom- You a fan of Sound of Music?? Are you in the Tyrol? And welcome to the forum!

 

[seldom]

Thank you jpmcwjr! I was married in Tyrol but am living in the northwest of Germany now where some of my wife's family is from. The avatar is an advert by Vauen for their Enzian pipe. I think it's a little silly.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, a bit silly, but on point, what with the pipe and all!
