Heh. That's the pic Bruno had up when I bought it. I try to download pics from whatever site I'm buying from when I buy. They're going to be better photographers than I'd be. Plus, I'm terribly lazy.
I've seen some that use yogurt or sour cream as the binder. And I think somebody makes an off-the-shelf coating now. Ran across a mention of it a couple of months ago. Can't remember the name, unfortunately. No idea what's in it.
Apologies, Tship. I should've made that comment somewhere that wasn't somebody's celebration of their new Autograph. That's a great looking pipe and I have no doubt you'll enjoy it thoroughly. Nothing but congrats to you on it!
