boil in water, but only keep it in for 30 sec, it can shatter

this kid on my bus bought a piece the other day and we all though it was like black, black glass or somthing. He brought it in the next day and it was clear, there was just so much resin. But yeah, he said he just briefly boiled it.

boiling makes the room smell, so if your living at home watch out.

I use hydrogen peroxide and then I get in there with a trumpet cleaner. Its a pretty thick wired rod with a brush like thing on the end. It works great.

ROCK SALT AND HOT WATER! make the water as hot as you can handle then fill the inside of the piece halfway with water and fit the biggest size pieces of rock salt inside. then SHAKE IT AND HOLD ON TIGHT. drain out the water and rock salt then do it again with rubbing alcohol, hot water, and rock salt. rinse with clean water then you're done.

you can also just pour the rubbing alcohol and salt into the pipe, cover the holes, and shake it up like that. it works quite well. probably have to do it a couple times. rinse with water and theres no residual smell or taste from the alcohol.

rinse it with 420 cleaner, it works in like 1 minute and it'll look new again.

.............of course.
what a dumb question.
Yes. rinse it thoroughly with water after shaking it clean in a ziploc bag with salt and rubbing alcohol.
..and you have a completely clean piece like it was brand-new!

do not boil it. the glass can crack if you do that, and then you will be completely pissed off.

just use the rubbing alcohol and salt in a zilpoc bag.
im not lying.. nothing works better.
except maybe the 420 cleaner but then you have to go all the way to the smoke shop to get that.
salt and rubbing alcohol is easier and cheaper.

Get a bottle of Orange Chronic Pipe cleaner. google it. Its a special chemical that cleans your pipe and tastes like Valencia oranges.
