How do you scrape a glass pipe?

Grab a thin piece of metal, like an unraveled bobby pin or paper clip. Hold the pipe over the fire and melt that resin as much as you can without burning it. Then shove the metal piece into the pipe about two or three hundred times, shaking, blowing, and pulling out the chunks of resin that accumulate and come loose.

How do you get resin out of a glass bowl?

Just scrape off the bulk of the resin and then drop it into a Ziploc baggie with 90-100% isopropyl alcohol for a good three-hour soak. You can also use a bit of non-iodized salt as an agitator for a faster cleaning. If you add salt, you may not need to let it soak for long at all.

Does hydrogen peroxide clean bowls?

If you are using a container, let the pipe soak in it for at least 12 hours. This way, the hydrogen peroxide will dissolve all the dirt. You can also follow this step if you are using a sealable bag. Once the 12 hours have passed, shake the bag to remove the residual resin.

Can you microwave a glass pipe?

If your pipe has never been cleaned and it's crusty, if you need to poke it just to get airflow or when you do get a hit it tastes like nasty resin — your only option is to boil. You can clean all of your small, microwave-safe glass pieces this way! Microwave the liquids and your pieces until it begins to boil.

How do you keep resin out of a glass pipe?

Collect it all in a glass bowl as you clean. Drain the bowl, sifting out the particles. Spread the leftover particles out to dry—I usually just put them on some baking paper on a sheet pan and leave it on top of the fridge for about 24 hours. Once the resin is dry, you can grind it up and smoke it.

How do you clean a glass pipe without alcohol?

How do you clean a bowl without alcohol?

Although we feel it's a safe household solvent when thoroughly rinsed, some people prefer to avoid isopropyl alcohol altogether.

How do you get resin out of a glass pipe without alcohol?

Is it safe to put glass in boiling water?

Generally pour boiling water into the glass, the thicker glass is more likely to burst the glass.
