[QUOTE="CharlG, post: 438352, member: 2275"] Just for interesting sake: why not? I'm not a pipe repairman, I'd rather make a new pipe mess than try to make an old mess into something, but using bleach for heavily oxidised stems seem to be used very often by guys restoring estates. I have personally used it for the odd estate find as well. The bleach of course is rinsed off afterwards and the stem still needs to be sanded. The airway is also cleaned with alcohol, so absolutely no trace of bleach is left on the stem. [/QUOTE]
