I use a heat gun. A vice holds it so I have two hands free. Only takes me a few minutes to bend even a thick stem and i like how even and controlled the heating is with little chance of scorching.

Yep! Exactly what Chris said!

Hi gents! I think I posted last spring when I bought my new 10x22 lathe: http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz76/danov10/Picture092.jpg I love it, but it came with a 6 1/4" 4 jaw independent chuck that I thought I could use effectively. Man what a pain as some of you know. Set-up used to get me...

I've used them for years mixed with alcohol, although the last few years I've used them less and less because like Kurt, I prefer Feiblings for the same reasons.

I have use both of powder, trans fast......and a liquid, transtint for years both made for water. I use alcohol with no problems.

Some might accuse you of smoking something else in a pipe that small, Dan. :lol: I've got a handful of pipes with *very* small chambers - 5/8 and 1/2, that are absolutely awesome for short smokes of very fine cut tobacco.

Hmmm, I don't know anything, but I smoke thimble sized bowls........5/8, 11/16,
hell I have both a Danpipe and a Tsuge with 9/16 bored bowls. I smoke PS Twist, BBF, Haddo's hell I smoke everything in them and they smoke well for me!
