Repairing a charred briar chamber (video set)
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

Waterglass! But you can taste it, and it makes you unattractive to women, and makes your farts smell funny.

Thanks for sharing this video, George. I was wondering where you get those rubber gloves. I’ve been using the diamond grip ones, but those do seem to have some flex in them.

Great tips as always, George. It does open Pandora's box to folks who can effectively conceal interior damage. As often as some pipes trade hands a pipe so treated may not be discovered for several owners.
Amateur question here. So what's the difference between this and adding a waterglass bowl coat? I've done that several times to save customer pipes, but only on request.

When "eliminate" includes "effectively conceal," it isn't a bad thing. It's like a reset button for the chamber. Stand-alone concealment, though, is definitely evil. That's deliberate deception.Ocelot55 wrote:It does open Pandora's box to folks who can effectively conceal interior damage.
The waterglass doesn't flow into/integrate/fuse with the briar to a significant depth when used in paste form. It just serves as carbon particle carrier that becomes (after it dries) a surrounding matrix for the carbon anywhere there's a low spot/crack/burn in the chamber wall.Amateur question here.
