Hello folks,
Just watched a video on youtube and a gentleman recommends 'painting' extra virgin olive oil on the meerschaum bowl/stem to greatly speed up the coloring process. He reapplies every 6 to 10 bowls. He stated he has used bees wax previously as well but the olive oil was so much quicker to color and less labor intensive. One of the commenters stated their method was to mix the melted bees wax with the olive oil.
Anyway, does anyone here have experience with this technique?
thanks.
