PIMO Pre made stems BROWN sanding Dust???

Post by MadTinker »

So I got some premade stems from PIMO. I was sanding the molds lines off and the 1st the dust was Black then the 2nd and third the Dust was BROWN. WHAT THE HELL?? I emailed PIMO to ask what material these were but have not heard back from them. Any help would be great.

They're vulcanite, the dust is brown. Actually, the material is more or less brown but looks black when you shine it up.

If you would like a different color of dust, try acrylic stems.
