Mail service by herman on Jul 21, 2019 x:51:59 GMT -v Hi all;  Got a few questions, exercise you have to use leather dye to stain pipes or can you lot use stain meant for wood, Minwax or any of the other stains available. Next I would like to know if the measurement say 50mm refers to the tenon diamitor. I detest metric. Lastly, has any one heard from TED since he deleted himself. I hope hes alright.  Thats all for at present, thank you for responding.   herman

I've used Fiebings leather stain for my cobs and a few of the members cobs accept come my way and that is what I use. I've been in contact with Ted and he is dealing with some wellness issues...so prayers are welcomed I'thou sure for his relief and healing of torso.

That's probably the measurement of the length of a shank or stem. A 50mm shank would exist pretty long, though.

Getting grease, woods finish and what ever else on information technology. I have 2 Legends that are "stained" by the aforementioned method. I approve.

Mail service by roberted5 on Jul 27, 2019 12:25:13 GMT -v I have used fresh picked black berries for staining briar piping I carved and it worked. I just put piping in plastic bag with berries and started peachy and rubbing them into briar. I permit pipage sit down in bag with stem attached until it got no darker from berries. I don't wax my pipes so it wasn't long until tobacco coloring took over. I simply got two cobfoolery kits yesterday in mail and the finish of cob in these kits is too crude for staining. The varnished finish without varnish I recollect would look swell stained. If you stain show a few pictures.

Post past briarpipenyc on Jul 29, 2019 nineteen:02:08 GMT -5 Some cheapo alternatives...... try making your own custom dyes: "SHARPIE MARKERS" employ alcohol-base dyes. Crack open a few SHARPIES and stick the dye saturated wicks into a few ounces of denatured alcohol. Piece open the plastic roofing around the wicks earlier inserting into alcohol ....for better/quicker saturation. You might need a few wicks to get a saturated solution. Yous can also "describe" with these mentioned Sharpie Markers onto the raw briar for touchups, etc. I would definitely do on some junky yard-sale pipes, or on some sacrificial slices of virgin briar wood. Alcohol dyes actually soak into briar, very quickly. Powdered, "RIT" Textile DYES are also soluble when mixed into denatured alcohol/acetone. Test the saturation strength and dilute if necessary. RIT DYES can be bought were fabrics and sewing supplies are sold, and other vendors carry RIT dyes.. Test color strength on scrap briar. RIT can also dye many other common woods, like pino, beech, maple, cherry, birch, etc. Have fun
