Salt can't scratch the bong and alcohol is used in glass cleaning products.
Rubbing alcohol and salt left calcium stains on my Roor, fuck that...
use alcohol and KOSHER SALT....DO NOT use iodized salt...kosher works much better.... also heat the alcohol up in the microwave for a tid bit.....pour both in the bong and shake the hell out of it!!!!!!!!
if u use anything else your wasting time and $$$.
the people at my local head shop swear that stresses the glass and will make it break easier and to use 420 cleaner
may be there right maybe there just trying to sell their product but do you want to take the chance on a 100-500$ piece? I mean I use alcohol on mine but thats just because im a cheap bastard. just figured i pass the info along
isopropyl n salt all day, maybe some acetone
Of course they told you that. Where they running a special on 90 watt UFO's that out perform 400's too?
PS: High Times reccomends salt and alcohol and I would have to assume they know a thing or 2 about bongs.
you gonna recommend to stoners to put combustibles in their microwave?
does this work on colored glass pipes? ya know the popular pipes with the paint that canges color when it resins up... anybody ever try the IPA/salt combo on them?
for glass pipes this is what you do. (its better to do this outside on a grill but ive done it inside as well.... gets a little smelly) boil some water in a pan. once boiling gently set your pipe in the water. use some tongs to make sure the pipe fills with water. let it sit a minute or so and shake it in the water. do this a few time. Make sure the pipe is submerged for about 7 minutes. when you take your pipe out make sure you have salt, ziplock bag and alcohol ready. PIPE WILL BE HOT!!! try to pour some salt into the pipe if u can. ALSO pour some alcohol and salt into the ziplock bag. throw the pipe in the bag and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE..... violently shake that damn bag. make sure the alcohol gets into the pipe.. after a couple minutes of that your done. rinse your pipe very well. Your pipe should look brand new.
if u feel weery about this then google it. thats where i learned.

yes. Someone mentioned that the color fades, but i think he just doesn't remember the original color from burning so much lol. I'm pretty sure the color is inside the glass. Also i tried acetone on my bubbler and it left it smelling like acetone, but that could be because it was absorbed into the resin. Idk, but i don't trust it lol.
