[QUOTE="RDPipes, post: 407680, member: 2155"] Firstly, It sounds like the Obsidian oil is the culprit, maybe having it too thick, I don't know. But, one thing I do know is a stem can't possibly oxidize in that matter of time without help. The Best way to take care of that oxidation is to wet sand it with 400, then 600, then 1000 and buff with white rouge. Then wax it with Paragon wax. I have over 350 pipes and half of them at least have vulcanite stems (including the ones I smoke) and none of them have turned green. And I smoke outside 99% of the time but, I also wipe the pipe down with a soft cloth when done to eliminate oils from fingers and moisture that may cause premature oxidation. I'd say send it to me to fix but, the cost of shipping it wouldn't be cost effective I don't think. ;) [/QUOTE]
