Pipe Mud - the Miracle Salvage Compound

[Alligator Gar]

You're subtlety never ceases to amaze me



Careful painting pipes. It chokes off their natural ability to breath. They won't dry out like they should and can smoke hotter.

I guess I can't blame you for thinking I'm capable of painting a pipe blue. I mean, yes, technically I smeared pipe mud on the outside of a pipe, but painting a pipe blue?

On second thought, you were right to say something. You never know what a noob's gonna come up with next...

I never questioned your physical ability to paint a pipe. I am sure you can spray paint a pipe

I was speaking on the actual technicalities of it. It can ruin your pipes I am saying.

OK, I've given up on my dreams of painted pipes. I think I am going to smear pipe mud all around the outside of a cob and invent the cob lined mud pipe. Hang on while I call my patent attorney.

Awesome! Now you're talking!

How about an entire pipe made of pipe mud. The really poor man's meerschaum.

Nice. I have always said, "If you got no pipe mud you got nothing." And I am a man who likes to talk to people who like to talk and who especially like to talk about pipe mud.

I fix that common problem with cobs using super glue gel mixed with some dust from a sacrificial cob. 20150417_095432.jpg
I also being very well versed in the lore of fixing places of fire use Water Glass (Sodium Silicate) and food grade charcoal to make my coatings and pipe mud. The Germans invented it a century ago to line pipes negating break in and find it takes care of cobs that want to burn out. Dries very hard, odorless and safe. 20150426_125655.jpg

What is water glass and where do you get small amounts? Can you describe the mixture method and the consistency of the glass mud when it's applied? How long should it rest on the pipe before smoking?
