[QUOTE="ejames, post: 193298, member: 2284"] Cigar2you, sometimes a little heat will lift some toothmarks in a vulcanite stem.You can use a heat gun,hair dryer or a Bic lighter-if you are very careful .You can also hold the stem in some boiling water deep enough to cover the toothmarks. That will turn your stem a nice shade of brown though! I like to wet sand stems starting with the finest grit that will remove the scratches etc. Not all tooth marks can be safely sanded out. Usually I start with 400 and work up to 800 and then buff with white compound.If you don't have a buffer,then check into getting some Micro-Mesh. It will,with a lot of elbow grease put a decent shine on your stems. You might check into Walkers stem polishing kit also. [/QUOTE]
