My lunch time drinking companion has started to refurbish his smoking pipe collection. I have pointed him to the right abrasives and polish that should be suitable, but he has hit me with another question today.
He has a pipe that the stem (the bit that goes into the mouth) is made from vulcanite and he says that it goes to a lighter colour when exposed to daylight. He inherited the collection from his father and is keen to get them all back to pristine condition.
Has anyone got any advice for him to get the original dark colour?
