Much easier to sandpaper with 600 grit, then 1,500 grit and then 3,000 grit sandpaper using the deoxidizer from Walker Briar Works at the end of each sanding to remove the oxidization that the sandpaper exposed and then polishing up the stem with some wax. Most oxidization I have seen will not get removed soley by that oxidization remover and the owner of Walker Briar Works himself has stated in email his product should be used with sandpaper if the oxidization is bad.

Dunno bout that. Dave recommends using 220 grit for getting at the oxidation that can get worked into the Vulcanite by buffing the stem before it has been thoroughly cleaned. I've used 600 grit for detail work and still gotten dust from brand new stems. I'm sure there's a point when "sanding" turns into "polishing" and you're not digging into the Vulcanite at all, but rather applying material on top of and into it. Maybe you're using a grit level that would qualify as polishing not sanding.

Dropped a note to Dave at Walker about this. It turns out that sandpaper on Vulcanite will always produce brown dust, regardless of the level of oxidation, so my bad there. You just have to see some black under the brown dust to know that area of the stem is ready for next steps.

@rmanasa maybe i dont notice the dust being brown because i use such a fine grit?

Here's my challenge: Take some medium to fine grit sandpaper and rub on your stem before BKF. You'll probably see a lot of brown dust. Now clean it with BKF and rub again with the sandpaper. I'd be very surprised if you still didn't get a lot of brown dust. Isn't this a sign that you still have oxidation buried in that stem?

@rmanasa yeah but it depends on how much time you spend with BKF. It will take it out all the way imho, given enough time and scrubbing, and maybe soaking.

A good soak in oxi clean works extremely well for removing oxidation. if that doesn't work try scrubbing with oxi clean and a mr. clean magic eraser. Work smarter not harder!
