[QUOTE="Troll, post: 60276, member: 578"] your question is a bit confusing. If you mean a regular meerschaum pipe; regular smoking will color it. Rick Newcombe's in search of pipe dreams has a chapter about fast coloring Meerschaum. Your reference to cork is what confuses the issue. If perchance you are referrring to a calabash bowl. I believe there are about 3 different sizes. The cork gasket between gourd and Bowl should be approx 1/4 wide and long enough to fit securely. Smooth gourd rim slightly and apply a thin layer of epoxy cement. When tacky apply cork as high up on the gourd rim as possible, making sure cork is firmly in place and there are no gaps. Let dry. When dry GENTLY press bowl into place. Wait a day and smoke it. Dave [/QUOTE]
