No. It does not look like fun. It looks like something I do not need to know about.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 10:50 amLooks like fun doesn't it?kschatey wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 10:43 am For my information... https://rebornpipes.com/2012/10/17/what ... t-is-used/

I got a kit off Ebay and it works fine. I was using an alcohol burner with it but I switched to boiling water on an induction hotplate for safety sake. I am through buying very dirty estate pipes and my pipes don't get much use individual so I probably won't be using it again. You need to thoroughly clean the pipes before you use the retort.

You mean ream it and get the bulk of the junk out of the shank? I thought a retort was for getting the rest of the crap out to save workRonv69 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 1:57 pmI got a kit off Ebay and it works fine.

Yeah, do a normal cleaning to get at least the top layers out. The retort will take much longer to get bulk tars out. During this process you will be holding hot parts of boiling alcohol and it gets tiring. If you have a full laboratory and you can clamp all the parts in place, well go ahead. Try it and you'll see.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 1:59 pmYou mean ream it and get the bulk of the junk out of the shank?
