Maintenance

I keep two of these in my pipe kit. One for drying and one for applying oil. The stocks and tuning slides get dried each time after I play. A few drops of oil get applied to the stocks after cleaning before I put on a new bag.

2 oz. (50 gram / large) rolls of waxed Irish linen (hemp).

I have two of these in my pipe kit. One for drying and one for applying oil. The blowstick, chanter and drone pins get dried every time after playing. A few drops of oil get applied to the blowstick after cleaning before I put on a new bag. For practice chanter cleaning - goto an art supply or fabric store and pick up a pack of fuzzy pipe cleaners.

2 oz. (50 gram / large) rolls of waxed Irish linen (hemp). Use 3-strand (thinner) for everything but water traps. Use 4-strand (thicker) for water traps. The thicker hemp goes on faster but does not give you the fine adjustment of the thinner hemp.
