Other Than Black Stem Repair

[Rigidman]

I'm sure this has been asked, but damn if I can find it. I understand repairs to black stems.

What about Brown? Currently its the only other stem color I have to deal with. There may be more in the future.

Is there a pigment that can be used to color CA glue? Has anyone had to match the color on a brown stem?

I have one more question, figured I'd save time and a second post.

I have a Jobey with a military type stem and a horn(?) shank extension. Upon arrival I inspected it and the extension came off with the stem. I got them seperated easy enough. No tar glueing them together.

After cleaning, What's is best adhesive to repair a horn shank extension? Should the mortice/tenon be sanded/filed to rough it up to increase bond strength?

Thanks for all the advice thus far and in the future. Keep puffin.

Check out StewMac. They might have something.

Thanks. I've been to their website. Saw a brown glue but wasn't sure if it was the correct color. Also found out that most pipes have black stems and my brown was oxidation. It didn't look like it.

What about repairing the stem extension? Any ideas? Thanks
