So I got this real nice $45 spoon i bought about a month ago and i boiled it out real good to get the resin out of it. I just wanted to know if any of you could help me get the rest of this out... i took the resin/water and put it through a coffee filter to dry it out but there's some spots i can't scrape and I want it to be completely clean. it won't come out when i boil it, no matter how long. it' on the end opposite the carb, and since it's a spoon you can understand my pain in trying to get it out. i've tried scraping boiling and soaking it in alcohol and nothing seems to work. anyone got any advice because i think i've tried everything-the stoner i am- but i'm posting this in hopes of someone maybe smarter than me :wall: any advice?:leaf::leaf:

Yeah the Alcohol is the only way I know. Some grit like sand might kelp.. I think I used salt and rubbing alcohol once and shook the hell out of it.

Now I buy things that are easier to clean.

Add some salt to your mixture that'll give it the gritty texture, I use warm salty vinegar/water to clean my stuff, works a treat everytime, rinse with hot then cold water to get rid of the vinegar smell.

I wish I could give brand info, but I really don't remember. Anyway, I used to use this stuff called agent orange. You put a litlle in you bong or glass pipe, cover any opennings with your finger or hands, shake vigorously, dump out and rinse well.

Yeah that is what we are talking about.. I think all the off the shelf are going to be some sort of solvent and grit.

Just be sure to really rinse really well when using unknown chemical products.

Alrighty well i'll try adding some salt to the alcohol and maybe throw in some vinegar if i have to. if that doesn't work, since you're talking about gritty stuff i might use some of this orange smelling soap that has pumas in it. If that shit don't do it i don't know what will.

Yeah orange chronic from agent orange works really well but the green kind they make sucks, also I was told not to boil glassworks b/c it makes the glass weaker

Alright so i put some salt in with it and used that pumas soap and it worked quite well. Shook it like hell and used a paperclip to try and scrape it out and when i put it under hot water to rinse it, it all came out. Thanks for the help!!
