[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 230534, member: 2318"] Good ol' mineral oil is another anti-oxident for vulcanite stems. The anti-oxidation oil applied to high-end cooking knives is mineral oil. Also good to keep your thumb-stud pocket knife working smoothly. I've found less mineral oil is better than too much. I just touch the surface with my finger tip and spread it over the bit. Let'er sit for half an hour. Then wipe it off. The nasty taste will probably dissipate over a bit of time. It's possible that messing with it could make it worse. You might put a cleaner down the stem for a day. Now and then I give my briars an airing in a shady corner of the deck. They seem to like it. [/QUOTE]
