Cleaning Glass Bowl

[daren420c]

I was just wondering what is the best way to remove resin from a glass bowl? I've heard soaking it in rubbing alcohol and scraping with a toothpick or the like, but honestly I have no idea if that will cause it to break or not. I really appreciate the help

What you need:

*Rubbing alcohol
*Pipe Cleaners
*Q-Tip


Soak the q-tip or pipe cleaner in the rubbing alcohol and begin to scrub the resin from your bowl/bong/whatever. Soaking your bowl/bong/whatever first in rubbing alcohol is good too.

The resin will begin to break down once the rubbing alcohol hits it and then you just scrub away until it's clean. Then rinse off your bowl/bong/whatever with water.

Done.







It's perfectly safe, unlike the boiling method. Your bowl/bong/whatever isnt going to break with this method.

^^she pretty much said it all^^
salt helps to cause it doesnt dissolve in the alcohol so it acts like a scrubber. woot!!!

Apart from what has already been said I would also use salt. It is a very good non-harmful abrasive. As far as the rubbing alcohol goes get the highest percent possible. (everclear works wonders)

just combine a bunch of salt and rubbing alcohol in your bong and swosh it around for 5-10mins until clean. Its that easy.

I can never seem to full clean out the area around the bowl in the inside.

soak it in an soloution composed of efferdent and water for 30 minutes then you can wipe it clean with any number of things. I usualy use a swiss army knife.

I just did it tonight...soaked it in hot water & dish soap for an hour & then used a Q tip and all of the resin I could reach easily came off. The rest of it (under the bowl) can be reached with a pipe cleaner.

I have heard efferdint and alcohol work good infact that 420 cleaner stuff looks just like it. I just use the method reb described. And what breaks your glass is hitting it hard enough on a harder surface than itself will brake it. Also temerature differance. an example is dont put ice and freazing water in part of your bong and hot steaming water in another part. the extrem temp differance could casue a stress crack, it could come apart like a broken toy, or it could be just fine. Ice and freazing water or hot steamy water but not both at the same time. personaly I dont realy see the point in hot water bongin anyway but people like it.
