[QUOTE="Timbo, post: 407672, member: 3740"] Hi guys, I recently won a lovely GBD Prehistoric poker on eBay. It arrived with a lovely black stem, but within five minutes of exposure to full sun it's stem has oxidised to a mottled khaki. Admittedly today's UV index is high, right on 11 for my area, but I made sure to rub at least three coats of Obsidian oil into it prior to taking it outside and left the last coat sitting thickly on the stem. Any suggestions my fellow BoB's on how to restore it to splendour and keep it that way or is this to be a patio only pipe? Thanks guys Tim [/QUOTE]
