拆固定碗换海泡石，有小小麻烦的吧，
起码我觉得有些麻烦，
碗的口径，
葫芦口的口径，
之间的配合材料的选择，
配合材料的粘贴，
配合材料和碗之间的配合间隙调整，
主要是因为葫芦口基本不会是正圆形，
海泡石碗的接触面基本是正圆形，
这部分的配合调整需要想好妥当的办法，
不然真是不好弄不好弄的
用了半瓶酒精也没搞干净，不得已只能拆开清洗，虽然已有心里准备，还是吓出一身冷汗，外表油润金光灿烂下竟然如此肮脏不堪，想到昨天还吸了几口禁不住反胃，希望不要坏了大家的胃口。好在弄明白几件事：
1）斗钵是木制，用粘土填充嵌套在葫芦内。
2）金属实为铜镀金，用粘土粘在斗钵上，然后压在葫芦口。
3）老葫芦斗如果外表颜色发陈发黑发花，最好别碰，否则必须拆开清洗。

焦油百年沉淀之功力深厚实在叹为观止，fixed bowl对于葫芦不是个好的解决方案，现已洗刷完毕，等待最后食盐酒精大法，然后安装海泡石斗钵。

jt兄这个斗钵是木头的，外面封的粘土。回头把刷干净的一堆杂碎再贴上来。
咦，我的帖子怎么跑上面去了
二手葫芦太恐怖了
I am sorry to hear that.There are many of these type of estate pipes in Ebay,I believe some of the sellers do not even know the differences between meerschaum, gypsum or asbestos.so it is best to be more cautious when buying online and from unknown sources.
A while back,in another forum, there was a discussion with Deniz Ural on this issue which may be useful for you.
"….The lining of the bowl of the South African Calabash is "quick-setting gypsum (calcium sulphate semihydrate) plaster....." "which hardens when moistened and allowed to dry". (Exact description from the encyclopedia.) Called Plaster of Paris because gypsum was used early near Paris, France to make plaster. It's been used since ancient times to make pottery vessels, to pre-cast and hold an ornamental cornices for sculptures and medical plaster casts amongst other things.It's easy to work with, sets quickly, has a neutral taste and will accept the temperature of burning tobacco - which makes it ideal for lining the calabash pipe, especially since we don't have any meerschaum in South Africa. We often describes it as "clay lining" because the smoking sensation is similar to that of clay smoking pipes.It is difficult to describe the difference between meerschaum and clay. They both neutral taste and can withstand the heat of burning tobacco. I think that the essential difference lies in the fact that the meerschaum is more porous and will hold the residue of the moisture from the tobacco (which gives it its colour) - not to mention the beauty and lightness. There is NO better material other than the High Grade Turkish Meerschaum to be used as a bowl/cup in the Gourd Calabash pipe. This piece of information makes me ;a) wonder about the Calabash pipes made in Africa and b) reminds me of some carvers and their use of plaster of aris/gypsum sometimes seen on the internet......
