Decatur Pipe Shield No-Ox

Good stuff!

This is a great product, that I've been using for years on vulcanized rubber pipe stems. I learned an old cleaning trick for cleaning oxidized hard rubber, use a toothpaste with a polishing compound in it, to scrub off the discoloration until the stem is jet black. Rinse the stem with water and dry polish with a soft cloth. I will sometimes need t...Read MoreRead more about This is a great product, that I've

o use my Dremal with White Diamond Compound on a felt spindle to produce a glass like shiny surface. Then I apply No-Ox to the stem, to preserve the finish. If you have any pipes with Vulcanite stems, you need to have a bottle of this preservative on hand. Start a maintenance program with your pipes, don't let your Vulcanite stems get too far gone. It's easier to prevent stem rot than it is to come in after the fact, and you need to remove a great deal of the stem material while cleaning up the decay. I've got a few pipes that were made at the beginning of the last century with Vulcanite stems. After the initial cleaning when I purchased them over twenty years ago, I used vegetable oil to coat the stems. I discovered No-Ox about ten years ago and I've been using No-Ox on these one hundred and twenty year old Vulcanite stems ever since, and they look brand new. The No-Ox works much better than the vegetable oil did. I have a regular maintenance program that allows me to keep ahead of any oxidation before it occurs. This is a must have for the maintenance and preservation of Vulcanite pipe stems. Read LessRead less about This is a great product, that I've

Just a drop now, seriously. A drop of this and a cotton ball are all you need for fantastic results.

Works great!

Brings old stem temporarily back to life

Great for removing oxidation from your vulcanite stems.

I spilled a whole bottle of obsidian oil and bought this to replace it. It does just as good and you get more for your money. It will last a very long time unless, of course, I spill it again.

My Dunhill and Peterson look much better, Really works.
