PAD attack. I just got in a new to me Kai Nielsen Flame grade A. There were a couple of scratches and a couple of really really small dings. I would not have stripped the wax to addess the couple of super small bumps it took but since I was steaming it anway I got those out as well.
After I stripped the wax, I steamed them out and rewaxed the pipe. I was really pleased. When I bought the pipe I had every intention of refinishing the whole pipe. I knew it hit the value but the price was right. Anyway lucky again. I also like the color...Kai's redish brown. It looked much more like a dated red pipe when I bought it but that was just the sites photos.
Since I dont have to work on it any further i think its time to go smoke it. It has a little bowl coating that I mostly removed. I hate that taste when I smoke vapers so my normal afternoon vaper will be replaced with some HU White Horses.
