[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 216256, member: 1211"] This is probably common knowledge, but I either didn't know it or didn't believe it. I'm surprised how much Halcyon II wax helps keep the oxidation at bay on vulcanite stems. Stuff is tough, too. I think it helps keep teeth chatter from making marks. I have a soft bite, and it's helped prevent a lot of indentations. It wouldn't do diddly if you're someone who really bites down. I have a Boswell that has some really crappy lucite. I handle it with the same care as I do all the other pipes with acrylic stems, and it shows more chatter, and more easily, than any of the others. It's too big to clench, so the only time it hits my teeth is when I carefully dangle it on my chin and very lightly hold it between my front teeth as I tie my shoes. It looks like I chew on it or something. [/QUOTE]
