Ok great thanks John

So I was able to smoothen the pipe with wire wheel. I chipped off the barnacles and the pipe is somewhat smooth, but far from perfect. I noticed though after I cleaned it that there is raised lettering of the company the made the cast. It’s about 1/8 inch raised and I believe this is causing my...
