Meerschaum waxing service?

[Jevverrett]

Short version: does anybody know of a reputable one that works by mail order? I've seen some vids of people doing this at home, but it seems to be a big p.i.t.a.

Do not know of one, but it seems like it could be an intriguing business opportunity for someone to pick up some part time cash.

 

[Jevverrett]

Yeah, I know a lot of people restore, clean and fix pipes. But I've never seen anybody here offer to wax meers.

Maybe send LL a PM inquiry. If there are any reputable folks doing this type work, he will be a great source of information.

High maintenance is the problem with meers. I once Googled the subject of Meer wax, and the various approaches seemed daunting to this lazy boy. So I treat mine like briars, with the exception of avoiding cake. But to each his own.
