have random tabacco bowls, stems, pipes, etc. that you'd like to get clean? tired of buying expensive designer solutions that don't really work? get a microwave-safe glass container that fits the desired glass product to get clean. fill the glass with iso. alcohol (substitute h2o up to 60% for cost reasons if necessary), drop in the dirty glass piece, and place in the microwave for 5 minutes on medium heat. the vibration and heat elements in concert with the iso. gets all unwanted resins right off, decant alcohol, wash glass piece with h2o, and let dry. works like, well, a dream
. enjoy.
btw- if using drinking glass as cleaning vessel, remember to decant and set drinking glass aside until room temp. so it doesn't break in cold water. (yeah, that's a duh, but still something to keep in mind.)
