That should get you going Kevin. I use Halcyon II on the stem, shank, and bowl, which I purchase from here:

What did you purchase from P&C for your pipe stem Kevin?

Does this take the orange/brown stain off of the stem too? I have an estate that I can't seem to get that off of.

The answer is no. You may want to post up a "close up" photo in the "Ask an old Fart" thread of the issue on your stem Pete.

It sounds like you may be speaking of oxidation on the stem. In that case, you can try some Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, or some OxiClean and a tooth brush on that stem (some elbow grease and time doesn't hurt either).

I've used the bleaching process on it as well as a magic eraser. Thinking about sending it in and and just having a new one put on.

Wish I had seen this before.

Pete, if you have not sent in your pipe for a new stem, I can polish it for you N/C.
