[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 566920, member: 1211"] Have you noticed the stampings disappearing? Bare Pipe mentioned dents coming out, or at least partially coming out, from washing. Then he covered already-weak stampings with tape because he didn't want them getting too wet, the wood swelling back to it's normal position, and losing the stamping. He later pulls out a dent with a wet paper towel and a clothes iron, but before that, he said a dent had swelled a bit from the running water technique. I even worry about that when I do my Lysol thing. I move the pipe around in the air to get it to evaporate even more quickly than it would on its own. If you remember The Woodwright Shop on PBS, he used to do amazing things to wood with steam. I, at least, never considered wood to be such a malleable solid. And now that I think about it, he did some extreme things like squeezing wet wood in a vice, then it bouncing back to original shape. Thus, worrying about losing stampings. [/QUOTE]
