[QUOTE="riff raff, post: 426031, member: 1771"] If you pull marks out of a stem, and do so buy sanding, you definitely can make it significantly thinner than the original (and a problem for clenchers). That is why I like GBD and Falcons, they are pretty meaty and it's hard to thin them out. If you sand teeth marks (versus filling) out of say, a Comoys stem, you could be heading for trouble. And yes, the organic coating (activated charcoal/gelatin) is easily removeable and it seems to be the coating of choice. Some folks put in a waterglass coating that gets like ceramic and is much harder/impossible to remove. I can't say if they taste bad, as I've never smoked a pipe with that coating. I would not want an estate pipe that had a coating that couldn't be easily removed (off hand, I can't think of any of the big estate guys who use such coatings). [/QUOTE]
