Pipe Repair Project.

[Revnatorade C.P.G.]

I bought this Peterons 2019 St Patty's day pipe awhile ago. The rim was pretty charred and the laquer was flaking off. I finally got around to fixing it today. While not perfect, as it is very charred, it looks much better.

I'd give the chamber a good sanding then mix up some organic sour cream and lots of activated charcoal and give it a good coating, let that dry for a few days then smoke some burley in er for the first 10 bowls. She will be fine and come back to life.

Looks pretty good and the add-on advice from Jon is very true!!

@Jon C.P.G.: Would organic sour cream be classed as an aromatic or cheese forward blend?

Fiebings green.

When dry it has zero flavour or smell and makes a great coating for bowls that have been refurbished and might be spider webbed, granted you mix enough activated charcoal in it to get to a thick black paste for application.

I first saw this trick on Bearpipes. I haven't tried it out yet.

It works good I go heavy enough on the charcoal so it's a thick paste but not too heavy that it won't stick. Works great doesn't require buying a whole bunch of things to mix by exact measurements.

Fine work so far, sir.

Looks good. I have an alligator green Savinelli that will need refreshing soon.

I've used both sour cream and activated charcoal as well as a few drips of water mixed with cigar ash. I prefer the latter because I get to smoke a cigar and the amount of ash from 1 Churchill will last forever. I also smoke a Davidoff when planning to use the ash because they just seem to burn cleaner with whiter ash.
