frenchyfam Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 so I was cleaning out my el nefes and I scratched my downstem because of the idiotic stem brush, you do not know the amount of rage inside of me beacause I have ocd and things gotta be perfect. even though its not scratched too bad I seek youre advice fellas, do you think some fine sand paper will work?> I need something very little to just dust it off nothing to major that it takes out a lot of copper. any advice? also if I do use sand paper do I need something to buffer it so it looks clean again. thanks fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Try just using some brasso or barkeepers friend to see if that will work. if not, i'm sure you could use a fine sandpaper but like. REALLY fine. like.. 1500-2,000 grit, otherwise the scratches from the paper will be noticeable. then brasso/barkeepers friend it after sanding it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen scratches inside my downstems, how the heck were you cleaning it?!? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchyfam Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Dude I was using a stem brush ... I even covered the top tip and the bottom metal so it wouldn't scratch the inside of my fling downstem -.- whoever created stem brushes can fk off... Stupidest idea metal on metal contact... At least wrap the metal handle and tip with plastic assholes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 lol damn man. that sucks. You must've been really working it! I've never been able to scratch the inside of my stem.. I tried it today; just to see if i could. haha It's not going to effect anything though man. I know you said you're kinda OCD about stuff, but maybe just don't look down the stem? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchyfam Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 yeah dude whatever fuck it, thanks again for some input and I was even trying to avoid it too... gaawd whoever created these brushes. I hate you ]= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grock Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 haha if this is "deep doodoo" I don't want to see how you'd react to an external scratch or a broken vase. Sorry to hear it though. As said, I doubt it would really affect the smoking experience, especially if it is a hairline scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchyfam Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 dude Im only a stem collector atm id rather break my KM base then have this scratch, its a perfection thing that sometimes is an overkill.........well most of the time. as for bohos I would probably go nuts and attack my landlord. takes the rent out ten days later after its due and refuses to fix anything.
