I have a little hash pipe that keeps clogging. I have tried pipe cleaners, but have better luck with a large paper clip, they're stronger. Is there some kind of solvent that I can soak it in? It is made of steel fittings. I have had it 30 years and don't want to dump it.

1. A guy I knew used Simply Green or Ammonia! I can't say how
safe either are, but they got the pipes back to new!

2. If you really want to clean it and still get resin...
...you can rest the bottom of the pipe in hot water so that all the resin loosens and then try to lift big chunks out of it w/ a paper clip (which is what I use too, lol). Good luck!!

3. isopropyl alcohol seems to work just fine...
and get the bristle pipe-cleaners, not the only-cotton kind. That should fix you right up! :smoke:

5. any type of citrus juice
will work. Let soak over night and a pipe cleaner will get it sparkly clean.

Takes time to do it though.Has to soak for a while.The longer the better. The first hits are pretty tasty,too.

I like taking a hit with a mouthful of skittles--tastes soooo good. Now I want skittles.

11. I also use a large paper clip that I heat up...
which I then run through the stem. The resin you capture can then be wiped on a paper for later enjoyment

15. i used to save the pipe/bong resin for times of no dope...
but i haven't run out in over three years(and i burn thru an oz/week), so i've stopped saving it.
