best/easiest way to clean a glass pipe?

[mainstreet]

Hey guys, I've got a glass pipe that I'm looking to clean. It's full of resin and it clogs fairly easily. I'm not concerned whatsoever with saving the resin, but I just want to know if you have any hints on cleaning my pipe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

boil it. just let it cool on its own when done. dont use any cold water or it will crack

There's lots of threads on this already, try doing a search next time.

But yeah.. boiling it should do the trick, but don't change the temp of the water too quickly or it'll crack. Don't drop the pipe straight into boiling water, let it heat up with the water.. let it cool on its own. But I've heard boiling MAY not be good for pipes. Just use some rubbing alcohol and salt (i've done this before).. works pretty well, just make sure you rinse it really well afterwards.

Sorry, I forgot about the search feature.

Thanks for the help though!
