Obsidian Oil for Pipe Stems

I have read about Obsidian Oil for years but never got around to trying it until recently and I cannot believe that I missed out on this stuff for so long! It literally takes on a drop or two to treat a stem (or two), which I thought had to be wrong but isn’t. For dull and/or lightly oxidized stems, a quick massage of the oil and wipe after letting it penetrate for a minute or so it all it takes. The light oxidation is gone and then stem is beautiful, black, and shiny! I’ve not tried it in a very oxidized stem yet or on anything other than Vulcanite so I can’t speak to how it would work on them yet. I highly recommend trying Obsidian Oil.

The product was excellent and helped me achieve what I wanted. Great product, great seller!

Great gloss for these old pipes. The stems look new.

This is an excellent product for vulcanite pipe steams. Just use it as directed on the bottle. I purchased this from 4 Noggins on Amazon. This is a fantastic retailer that goes above and beyond customer satisfaction. Highly recommend purchasing any products from this vendor! They are top notch!

Easy to use on your pipe stem but don't use too much or you will have a build up if not properly wiped off. Apply, let it stand for a few minutes and gently wipe. I just used my finger to apply but Q-tips work too. My old stem isn't what is used to be so I try to use this product more often. Can be reapplied as needed.

This product does a nice job of restoring the essential surface on some of my older Vulcanite stem pipes. I apply it periodically with repeated used of a the particular older pipes and they look a heck of lot nicer.

DOES NOT REMOVE BUILD UP BUT ADDS A BIT OF A SHINE.

I've seen a few reviews stating that this left a bad taste on the pipe stems. No worries here -- so long as you apply it onto a cotton ball (or a paper towel) and just rub the excess oil off? This works extremely well and restored pipes I have owned for a good 5-10 years. The real test was an old Second World War-era Purex self-cleaning pipe. Brought that stem back from a seen-better-days look to something that would look like my go-to pipe. May take a good 2-3 applications to really let it soak in, but after just one? Very happy with my purchase; will use this again if/when I run out.
