hey..i got this new bowl a couple of weeks ago and its glass. ive started noticing the resin building up and now the bowl is almost completely black. how should i clean the glass bowl part that looks more like a bulb, which i cant reach with a paperclip or anything. Any ideas? :confused:
Cover all but one of the holes and fill it halfway with rubbing alcohol. Add 1/4 salt. Cover the remaining hole. It may be tricky to hold this way so make sure you have a good grip. Now shake the crap out of it. As the mixture stops cleaning as well let it drain out, rinse with warm water, and repeat. It usually only takes 2 or 3 times. When it's completely clean rinse very well with warm water and enjoy :)
I usually just boil my pipes to clear the resin build up, never tried anything else
i let my soak in a small amount of rubbing alcohol and then run hot water through it. Works great and keeps every hit as tastey as it was meant to be.
dai*ma :stoned:
i just go out and buy thast 420 bong cleaner leaves a nice orange smell too
i usually let my resin build up to a massive amount, then scrape it, smoke. then boil it.
i used to scrape my pieces with a surgeon's skill, laboring over getting all of it out. the resin used to get me blistered but now it makes my head hurt and i don't pursue that avenue anymore. tastes nasty as well. i even had a set of bowl cleaners that i fabricated from coat hanger wire and guitar strings that were in my bong case (makita drill case butchered into a "happy" case) in the bit storage area. got stolen out of my car by a friend who was notorious for stealing your pipe or water bong just so he could scrape it. jeez, that was fifteen years ago! good heavens.
not good.Quote:

I don't even know when I'm supposed to clean my bowl. It's the only piece of my homemade pieces that gets used every time, so eventually it's going to get cleaned. I just hope I don't fuck it up :stoned:
