Hope this helps.

 

Vinegar also works... and the sea salt/alcohol one is good.

 

thanks guys...i didnt no about he search the forum thing thanks tho i will use that for now on...thanks for the help

 

Just remember, if you do boil it: don't put a glass pipe in boiling water. Put the pipe in water that's room temperature, then bring the water to boiling.

 

yeah i definitly dont want to break my almost new pipe...its preety sweet to so yeah i wont thanks...i might try the alcohol or the boiling thanks

 

I always use pure acetone. By far the best method I've found.

 

ya rubbing alchohol is amazing. 3 dollars for a bottle and works like magic. i use it every few months (the alcohol turns almost black from resin) and before i take my piece travelling.

 

Dude, isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol is like 98 cents in my neck of the woods.
Anyway soak it overnight in rubbing alcohol, and be sure to rinse it REAL GOOD with plain water before using it again.

 

if you're desperate, you can take the resiny rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate on a mirror, you can scrape it all off with a razor when its dry and smoke it =D

 

^ ive always wondered about that, i wonder about it every time i clean my pipe. put it on a mirror? how the fuck...? dont you have an ASSLOAD of rubbing alcohol? what i do is put rubbing alcohol in a container, then put my piece in it for a few hours/days. after i have about a mug's worth or more full of resiny alcohol. how can i evaporate that?

 

Use a pot with higggggggggh sides (remember.. rubbing alcohol will burn like a mother and it's very dangerous) on a regular stove or a coleman camping stove, or leave it sitting in the sun.

 

Please don't try to quicken the evaporation process by flame... You'll likely blow up your kitchen... Just allow it to sit in a well ventilated area.

 

I have a stove outside in this barn thing, actually. So I can just open the sliding track doors.

Depends on your situation.

 

It's still not a great idea. The solvent's molecular mass is heavier than that of air's, so once it evaporates it is possible to sink back down to the flame, which can cause an explosion; it can happen even in a barn thing.

 

yeah lol i will try some of these in the future thanks lol...and yeah an explosion would not be good lol

 

Works for me.

Sometimes I like to use Jet-1 instead of isopropyl.

 

Jet-1?
I still wouldn't reccomend combining fire with an explosive gas though.. If you really are that impatient use acetone, it evaporates much quicker.

 

oh sorry

 

fuck all that shit. just rinse ur bowl with hot water under a sink and rinse the res out.
