Repair suggestions

Got this pipe and it was received as is. Was told to keep the pipe and was refunded the money. So, asking the group here on how to fix it. What glue is best? And, the tenon does not fit. Either it is too big or the hole is too small. What is the best way to fix that?

Thanks all

Buy a new one.

Looks like it wasn't a very expensive pipe to begin with? I'd just throw some glue on there and be done with it.

I would use 5 minute epoxy to bond the ferrule back on the stummel. Not sure what you mean about hole diameters being incorrect.

Epoxy is the way to go in my opinion, and to apply a light pressure of sort to keep it in place while it’s curing.

Super glue is not a good choice.

If the tenon doesn’t fit, because it’s too big for the mortise, there may be too much gunk in the mortise, or the stem wasn’t made for the pipe.

If it’s funk in the mortise, clear it out, if the tenon is still to big or there isn’t crud in the mortise you can try sanding the tenon until you get the proper fit.

Don’t know if that helps , but that’s a couple of ¢’s in any case.

P.S. There is a chance that mortise has a tapered bore, like the army mount pressure fit.

Thank you and that is greatly appreciated

I am allowed to smoke at work and I usually purchase not so expensive pipes to use there. My hands get dirty and oily pretty quick, so having a more expensive pipe is not worth it. At home, different story.

Definitely epoxy.

Same but all of my pipes are fair game for it.
