I found the best way to scrape a pipe is an e-string from a bass guitar. They work great. Just go to your local music store and pick one up.
LOOK! I tried a few different pipe cleaning methods..

this is how i clean my pipe. [(pour some rubbing alcohol in a ziplock bag and add 3 or 4 tbsp of salt (kosher or sea if u have it)] have this on stand by.
1.boil a pan of water and throw in 3tbsp salt>> 2.gently set your pipe in the water and make sure the inside fills with water>> 3.let it sit for around 3 minutes>> 4.get some tongs and give the pipe a good shaking in the water>> 5.pull the pipe out with the tongs and empty out the water>> 6. repeat 4 & 5 twice>> 7.gently pull your pipe out of the water and set it on a towl for a couple secs.>> 8.now put your pipe in the ziplock bag>> 9.shake that bitch to death>> (if u rap in towl u can shake even harder)... now your pipe should be as clean as the day u bought it.. if its not then u diddnt shake hard enough!!!
Good Luck...also this methods puts off a resin smell in your house so i hope your not trying to be stealthy. (u can also do this on ur gas grill)

i usually hold my pipe over the boiling water for about 20 secs before i put it in. works great for me. good that u pointed that out though!

the green alcohol is that wintergreen scented 50% shit. get the 93 or above. also if you're going to boil your peice use a shitty pan. it's not that you can't get it clean again but it takes way more work than just hand cleaning the peice imo. not a wise investment of time. i suspect you shouldn't need to boil it if you use better alcohol unless you want it in what i call "travelling condition".
