And about 3 months later, all the tenons were loose because the pipes had re-absorbed moisture from the air. One that went to the West Coast was unfixably loose, I'd never seen anything like it. Had to make a new stem.

So... you not knowing me is my problem, somehow?WCannoy wrote:Sigh...LatakiaLover wrote: I think that the impossibility of conducting such an experiment is seen as a marketing opportunity by those makers who are feature-minded.
This, LatakiaLover.
Look closely. This is where you say that makers who boast oil curing are full of shit.
Premal, Sas, Ernie, Tyler, Keilwerth, I know you guys, and I know your work. We've interacted outside of this forum. For the most part, we've even met in person. Premel and Tyler, we all go way back. Pipeguy, I don't know you that well outside of our messages about oil curing many months ago, but still I know who you are and where to find your work.
If any of you would like to tell me that I'm full of shit, I happily accept your voice of experience, as should all of the lurkers who are here to learn from that experience.
Despite trying to boost his credibility by inserting "fun facts", LatakiaLover seems to be, well, nobody. He should be asking questions, not answering them. Should he reveal himself in fact to be, say, Mark Tinsky or Michael Kabik trying to fuck with me, then I will humbly withdraw my assessment and respect his opinion as the voice of experience as well.

Perhaps... But is the mechanic qualified? Shadetree? Just some guy with a wrench?scotties22 wrote:Does the mechanic not know just as much, if not more, than the manufacturer?

No, I didn't. I said:WCannoy wrote: I asked LatakiaLover who he was, and he suspiciously avoided the question.

No wonder we strike sparks on this board. You and I see the world in profoundly different ways. First of all, I have no idea where I "rank" as a repairman, nor do I care. I just try to be the best there's ever been, and whatever comes of it will come of it.WCannoy wrote: Jezus George, all you had to say was "I'm the best pipe repairman in the world! I judge the KC contest... I'm f'n George!"
