[QUOTE="Isagar, post: 306915, member: 3088"] Now, I know the most typical method is to give your pipe a trip to the fridge. And I have done so on my beater pipes with great effect. But I found it's usually not a permanent fix. It becomes smooth for a short while before going squeaky or completely stuck again. I've read in a few places that recommends Beeswax. Any insight on that? Also Vauen have a pipe tenon lipstick for hard to fit and squeaky tenons. It's uncommon and I've only seen it being sold in a few European pipe shops. Again, any one with experience with it? Heres a link to it: [url=http://www.vauen.de/photo/detail/en/Pipe-Service-Stick_500/98.808.4.13.html]http://www.vauen.de/photo/detail/en/Pipe-Service-Stick_500/98.808.4.13.html[/url] Finally, is there anyone with secret self discovered methods that they're willing to share around? EDIT: Bonus question: have you ever broken a shank while trying to remove the stem with too much force? I've personally has yet too but there were times I seriously felt that I could if i tried to remove the stem with all my strength instead of popping it in the fridge. [/QUOTE]
