I’m not gonna try and tell you it looks great, but it sure doesn’t look bad. It’s brylon, how good COULD it look?

It looks good.

If you put in the 5+ hours to make it a perfect flush fit I would make a call and have you committed.

I took it out of my mouth to check. There was no oxidation on the nylon stem. The bowl has a reasonably nice shine.
