    If the pipe was properly baked (I forget the term) when it was made, you shouldn't have a problem. But then you'll also have to worry about the finish.

    Just squeegie that bad boy with a paper clip or something.

    It's best not to use Boiling water. . . .

    Maybe oK with Hot water. . . .

    All depends on the quality of the pipe. . . .

    Peace. . . . :thumbsup:

    If its not glazed any liquid will just make it mushy, if it is glazed then you should be fine with some warm or hot water

    If it's made of clay and it was properly fired in a kiln, it becomes what's known as bisque and should be fine even if it's not glazed. But it'll be particularly fine if it is glazed. That is, if it has a shiny, waterproof, slick surface like glass on the outside.

    Only if a clay piece hasn't yet been fired will it turn to mush if it gets in water. And no one would sell an unfired piece as a pipe to be put in someone's mouth. Besides, unfired, dried clay is very fragile.

    I'm taking a pottery class right now and learning about all these things as we speak.

    get or make a new pipe, they are disposable,
    and you could probably even recycle it!

    no sense cleaning a 3 dollar pipe!
