[QUOTE="Niblick, post: 566924, member: 4505"] Weak stamps will get weaker as will weak dents come out. Mostly depends where they are in the grain. Strong stampings and bigger dents never fade no matter how much you try to use a red-hot butterknife to steam them out with a dampened dishrag. I do cover stampings to prevent loss on higher end pipes and weak stamps. I once had a Stacked Sandblasted Billard that showed no bottom stamp. Did my usual Murphy oil and brass brush clean under warm water and until I put the wax on it, I could then read the maker. The Woodwright Shop on PBS, he used to do amazing things to wood with steam. Popular wood is really absorbent. Tamarac not so much. Briar is very dense and not much of an absorber and why my bowl has moisture in the bottom when I smoke wet tobacco. [/QUOTE]
