indy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Very nice. I'm assuming you bought all the pieces at the same time so let me ask you: how's the hose perform? That's a really nice looking hose and if it is wide enough and smokes well then I'd like to know where you bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If this hookah were a woman, I'd hit it.Don't get me wrong, I'd still hit it. Just not in the same way...Amazing base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Congrats on your newest addition to the family. The amber color is awesome and the hose looks really awesome. That's a unique piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Heres the thing you would have to take sloppy seconds cause I already hit that hookah. Let me tell ya..it hits real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman65 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 So I tried out that acrylic coat. I wouldn't recommend it. It basically changes the texture of the glass a bit, so its much more matte now than shiney. You can't notice it really, except when you feel the base or actually inspect it. The coat wasn't that thick, so it wont help with major chips (like something scratching up against the base), but it'll definitely make the paint last forever in washings (its water resistant). Overall, I'm a little pissed, just cause its not what I expected, but in reality, its no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 That sucks. I try not to wash the out side of the base though cause of that. I always dump out the water after every bowl but when I rinse it out I put the neck under the faucet and then start the water so that it doesnt mess with the outside though.

Maybe a really low grit? Thanks! I'm really happy to know I'll be able to get the glossy finish back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 well, with only a very thin coat of paint on it'd be pretty easy to sand through, but it can still be done. just start with some pretty high grit paper(600+ wet/dry), work slowly and progress up in grit till you've got yourself the shine you want. i'd really recommend doing 2 things first...add a second coat, and get a scrap piece of glass, put 2 coats on, and try your hand at wet sanding first.you can look online and find a bunch of tutorials for getting rid of orange peel with a lot better tips than i can give...i'm used to working on flat wood surfaces, not really glass.
