[QUOTE="eon, post: 143652, member: 1551"] Aye, shipping it across the Atlantic might be a bit expensive, though not overly so. The main reason I haven't taken in to a repairship is that I would really like to do the job myself. I love working on my pipes and have thus far been able to carry out all jobs myself. As for the rust, aluminum can and does oxidize. It takes much longer than iron but eventually it will. Contact with certain minerals and acids speeds up this process. I would imagine that smoking a pipe might produce such catalysts. I have two Brighams whose mouthpieces are fitted with aluminum parts and they have certainly oxidized over time. Thanks for the suggestion on the James Barber shop! They are new to me and if I should fail eventually I will be sure to contact them for professional repairs. [/QUOTE]
