There's a pic of it, I used a Q-tip to clean the top part, look how gross the bottom part is, I heard there is a chemical 420 that you can put in and it will help a lot? I just want it to be see through again :cool: Any suggestions?

Submerge it completely in rubbing alcohol. Rinse and dry real good after.

Denatured alcohol will clean that right up - if there are any stubborn spots, use a little salt in there with the alcohol, and shake it really hard - should scrub up to be spotless

fuck the alcohol,
Use a few tablets of efferdent and the resin will just fall out

Efferdent?
I clean glass peices by dipping them in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Had a hammer that hadn't been cleaned in two years, left it in hot boiling water for 30 minutes and it was brand new!

same with efferdent, but if you boil it for too long, the glass might crack, and it give the resin a nice minty taste, not that ass hat taste

^^Bah! I forget people smoke resin (dry heave)
Boiling water works well also, just takes longer and kinda fuxors up the pot for tomorrow nights spaghetti and if the glass piece has a weak spot it can crack it. Salt and Alcohol FTW!

no efferdent for the win, there is no scraping what soever, all you do is toss the peice around in the water and the resin falls out

Efferdent sounds really nice, if someone would explain what it is and where to get it >> Can't say I've ever heard of it.

I might try the boiling water trick, simply because it seems the cheapest, I don't want my lil bubbler to crack though, it means the world to me, first piece I ever bought!

you can spare your pot (the cooking peice not the herb) by just filling the pot with water, then putting a glass of water into the pot as well and then your peice inside the glass, the water in the glass will heat up as well and the resin will fall away.
i did this with my peice when i cleaned it. well first i cleaned as much as i could out with a paper clip and got a nice marble sized resin ball (that tasted like ass hat :thumbsup: ). then i boiled my pipe using the above method and whatever didnt fall off the sides of the bowl, i could breath on it and it would fall off, its very loosely attached to the walls of the bowl.
hope it helps :twocents:

get some rubbing alcohol (isopropyl not ethyl) from your local drug store, make sure you get the highest percentage possible, where I live the best you can get is 91%. Then fill a zip lock bag with the alcohol and throw your piece in the zip lock bag, shake it around real good then take an old cooking pot dump the alcohol in the pot and then repeat this process a couple times until the piece looks as clean as possible. Now set the piece aside for later. Now open up all your windows or do this with a cheap hot plate outside take the pot and put it on the stove, turn the stove on a real low heat (lowest possible) and let the alcohol boil down... once the alcohol is boiled down you should have a sticky black substance (resin)... now you can take a razor and scrape that shit off the bottom and smoke it!... and then finally if you so please you can get some formula 420 and wash out your piece just to get rid of the rest of the stuff left behind but whatever you do make sure you let all the alcohol evaporate from the resin and the piece cause you do not want to be smoking alcohol!

its just stuff to clean dentures, the tablets you put in a glass and then put your dentures to get them nice and clean, I use it for my retainer. You can buy it anywhere like target or fred meyer or rite aid in the toothpaste isle

id tend to think that the efferdent leaves some stuff behind if the resin tastes minty, are you sure the leftovers are ok to smoke?

well, if efferdent is okay to put in your mouth im pretty sure its okay to smoke, nothing bad has ever happened to me, i just get really blasted, you have to let the resin dry off completely first

I always just use hot ass water in the sink. Shit takes for fucking ever though.I recently heard of chem 420, the efferdent shit sounds like its a bad ass idea lol all the fucking little bubbles and shit just doing the hard work for me. Gonna have to have the wife pick up some of that shit lol. 26 year old in walmart lookin for denture cleaner. lmfao.
oh yea I fucked up one of my wifes pots by boiling a friends glass piece in there.... I wouldn't recomend it lol. (never heard of putting a glass within the pot of boiling water then the pipe in the glass.)

ok heres what i found fourmala 420 and other such products are basicly isopropyl alcohol and an abrasive and an essential oil that gives it the good smell
so
best method ive found is
1.highest % isopropyl alcohol you can find
2.some absasive any type of salt/rice or whatever (be careful of things that are to harsh like sand)
3.lots of hot water before and after soking/shaking the iso solution

try a 15 year old buying denture cleaner, but depending on how big your piece is and how resinated it is depends on how many tablets you use, Id use about 4 for an average size pipe and the bubbles are awesome but the water turns brown/green

Efferdent, I never thought of that, that is freakin genius, I used to have to use that stuff for my retainer. I imagine it would work amazingly. I still have some left over too!

Get a bottle of Goo Gone, go to a sink turn on the hot water as high as it goes and let the water run through the pipe for about 2 minutes, then let it fill half way and shake it, rinse and repeat. Then use the Goo Gone to clean the mess in the sink up
