Collecting Resin

[WEsmokeED]

Alright so to clean out my pipe i usually just set it in a cup of rubbing alcohol, 50% by volume. Alot of resin builds up in the cup, so i was just wondering if i where to filter this with like a coffee filter or a cheese cloth would it be safe to smoke?

Rubbing alcohol will evaporate very quickly, however might I recommend an easy less toxic way.. Simply fill a pot 1/4 of the way with water, bring to a boil, put a lid on it, open the steam release on the lid(may just be a hole in lid). Next hold the pipe so the steam can flow through it, then remove the pipe and use something to gently scrape the resin out. The steam makes the resin separate form the glass very easily. I have found that it is the best way to get all of the resin out(you may need to manipulate your scraping tool) which is great when you are out of everything and just want to be somewhat high...
