[QUOTE="Muddler, post: 20477, member: 337"] The new Pete's are sheer hell with the red stain. I use multiple flushes/ soaks/ rinses with alcohol to get rid of the stuff. I then flush it away with warm water. It takes a good while, but eventually it goes. Don't worry too much about a little leaking onto the briar - just wipe it off. It's not a bad idea to put a little wax on the outside of the pipe. Whatever made Peterson decide to use this very sloppy approach absolutely beats me. Just persevere - it goes away. I've broken in perhaps half a dozen new Pete's this way over the past two years (not sure) or so. [/QUOTE]
