What type of adhesive is used to glue a stem onto a silver ring then onto a plastic tube to complete/assemble the stem ?
My Barontini 1/2 spigot pipe smokes hot no matter how slow one smokes. It has two hot spots on either side and the shellac started to bubble and peel off. I stripped the top 1/2 of the pipe and oiled and waxed it. Today smoking some cherry cavendish it got hot. When done and dumped I went to remove the spigot stem to toss the filter except the stem top came off leaving a tube in the shank with the silver ring on it. Apparently it appears to have been shellacked onto the tube and ring. It looks like the old fashioned kids brownish glue that came in a plastic bottle with the orange slanted top with the slit in it, if ... you are old enough to remember that.
I could not remove the tube and didn't want to break it. I let it cool down and now have it in the freezer for a few minutes.
When it comes to re-gluing or binding the two part stem and ring back together what adhesive would you recommend ? It won't be on anything going into the mouth and won't be in the air flow stream but I would prefer safer than than carcinogenic. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or advice.
This was the most expensive pipe I have purchased and turns out to be not as good as my least expensive pipes or actually any of my pipes. Live and learn.
