tweek Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Crap! My bases stain is flaking off. I washed it out today after a very good smoke session and as I was washing it off the red stain started to just flake away down the drain! ugh What can I do? I was thinking straight glass wouldnt look to bad. Why is it flaking off? It is a eqyptian base. I ordered it fro hookah-shisha about 3 weeks ago, so the base isnt a antique or anything.Do i have any options on restaining? I guess I could get it painted..Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Got a link to which base it is?I have a couple of Regular Egyptian bases from H-S and all the glass is colored not painted. Better yet Pic?Let us see and send it to H-S and explain how it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarghileNights Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 They (by they i mean the hookah manufacturers.. not HC) don't know how to do red coloring. That is really the only color you will have problems with. Green and blue seem to do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_dooley Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have a Czech crystal base that is hand painted in 24k gold. I never wash the outside... just rinse the inside out well, and carefully blot any excess water on the outside. A feather dust brush can handle the outside just fine.If you have a hand-painted or gold-leaf coated base, don't wash the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 That is very normal. Only a matter of time before everything goes off, completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
