grrr ok i'm drunk, then my computer wouldn't let me correct it... lol... "heating anything heats it up" lmao that makes me sound stupid.. i meant to say, heating anything (basicly, i'm sure there are a couple of things out there that DON'T get more pliable when heated) makes it more PLIABLE, or moldable... other then wooden pipes, you can use this to you advantage, but wood, and water don't mix, i spent years in woodshop and i can tell you now soaking any wood in water, even if it's treated, isn't healthy for the wood. that's why i compliled my method for getting resin out (how to clean resin : a guide, in it, basicly you use heat to to put all the resin in the water, which weed [and resin] isn't water soulable which you eventually end up straining out....)
