[/quote] No its easy just takes a while, be sure to get some low grit as well or it will take forever. Something you can do while you are smoking another bowl though. Plus I think sanding is a great exercise tool in character building. [/quote] he isnt joking, took me HOURS to sand a prep my cars body parts to be ready to prime...and then you sand again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I know this is a bit off topic. But what sandpaper would be beast to sand an egyptian grommet down? Mine is too big for the base and it seems the paper i'm using isnt working as well as I'd thought. So i bought that sponge thing that has the sand paper on it. It yields not so great results as well.

In regards to the binder clip, genius! There is a dremmel in the house but I just don't trust my unsteady self to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Damn that's a tall center spire... Did most of the #7 phunnels come like this? Maybe more the reason it's best I didn't get one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah, mine is pretty similar. That's why I've put a bent paper clip on top of mine (instead of sanding it down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rooker Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 by the way i ran water in mine and once it got to the spire it flows into that, keeping it from filling any further. it was about the right distance from the rim that the tobacco would need to be, but this is just how i tested mine. the water was about a quarter's thickness, maybe a little tiny more from the top of the rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 5Star is now offering their #7 phunnels in package deals with just ONE package of Tangiers. $27.99 with Noir or $28.99 with Birquq. I REALLY want to place an order for a purple one with Ololiuqui, but don't need to spend the cash right now... Plus I'm afraid the #7 will be too close in size to my Minis. Honestly though if it weren't for the wedding and honeymoon, I'd get it.
