Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

[Aristokles]

Well, I tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, some elbow grease, chapstick, etc. It worked. . not wondeful but a hell of a lot better than before. Note to self..get out the J.H. Lowe file and get yer own stuff and do it proper. Just the association of you guys makes a feller want to get er done. Thanks for the inspiration.

Just keep at them. After the first session on some of my pipes when I thought I'd done a decent job the view under direct sunlight (horrors!) showed lingering green crud. Some pipes are just plain stubborn in releasing the oxidation, especially at the shank end and the transition points on saddle bits.

I also use mouthpiece polish after the eraser treatment, then hand buff with mineral oil. "New".
