how do i clean my bowl?

i just got my first (YES!) bowl and it looks like sherlock holmes' pipe....so how exactly do i go about cleaning it?

q-tips, rubbing alcohol and salt.

Before I did that I would scrape out as much of the resin (the black stuff) as I could and smoke it. It makes for a nice treat on top of a bowl or even on it's own when I don't have any weed.

scrape the pipe first get as much resin out as u can ...u can smoke this ..leave it aside ..then boilin water an pipe cleaner or use a long thin tube an pass it down the pipe till clear
thats wat i do an its always been a good toke :cool:

yeah just tie it to a piece of string and boil some water (more like simmering because if its glass it will break) then dip the pipe into the water. Let sit for 30 sec-1 min (but dont touch the bottom) the take out and repeat.

id scrape the resin and smoke it. im stoned so spellin might be off. and then i would soak your piece in rubbin alcohol over night. clean as hell in the mornin.

seems like sound info..after extracting the resin,,,try spraying it with WD40 rince with hot soupy water and salt,,, clean out with a pipe cleaner job done give it a try,, ;)

i hate those big ass sherlock homes pipes , they fuckin suck , those are more for tobacco

you should of stuck to foilys:D

Yeah I have a glass pipe. It was hand made or blown...whatever they do to those things. Anyway I was wondering how to boil it because I was scared it woudl break. It's beautiful. So what about mixing salt with rubbing alcohol? Soak it overnight in alcohol huh? I guess i could soak it and then boil it a little for like 30 secs. That way all the alcohol would be gone. I'm out of screens where can i pick some up. We have flea markets here and that's about it. Just go to one that sells pipes and ask for some screens? Also how do i scrape the reisen? Because it's sort of hard to get in there to it. Any suggestions?
