[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 4992, member: 14"] I think the polishing at the button is important because it's what's visible, and for transparent stems it is necessary to polish the whole length, but for appearance, not because it improves the smoke. There was a long discussion about this on ASP a few years back, I think Greg wrote fairly extensively. The method shown will indeed polish where the shoelace is constricted, but will do little further in. The rotating pipe cleaner, with a fine polishing media rather than buffing compound, is needed.
