[QUOTE="Sturdy Papa 359, post: 580779, member: 5174"] Hey Carl, As Zeno said, the Micro-Mesh pads can be purchased on eBay. Make sure you get the color coded variety with the rounded corners. Also, look at the sellers feedback. The last sets I ordered took around ten days and there are guys who guarantee delivery in four days. Vulcanite stems turn that brown color at first, but as you go through the grit levels it gets better and better. Don’t skip a grit number. The stem will look nearly new when completed. I normally soak the stem in OxyClean for a few minutes before I work on it. That cleans all the gook off and makes the stem chalky. You will think you ruined it, but it’s just one of the steps. The wax I use can be purchased at Smokingpipes.com. Rub it on...wait till it drys to a film...rub it off with a microfiber cloth. Some guys will put it on a buffing wheel, but I don’t recommend that at all! Usually diminishes the nomenclature from the pipe and just gives it an unnatural look. But, I’m one of those guys that like natural finishes that darken with age. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
