Title: Tricks to cleaning gak off glass?
Post by: nomad bloodbath on February 27, 2012, 05:55 pm
Does anyone have any special formulas to get the gak burn off their glass pipe after smoking some not as pure as it could have been methamphet?

Assuming its one of the good ones that has a thick bulb and not just a thick stem, just hold the bulb of the pipe over a gas stove turned up high for a few minutes, sometimes longer depending how dirty, but at such high temps everything will eventually burn off leaving the glass clear, you can even buy the portable camping stoves really cheap that just run off tins of butane.

Otherwise 'melamine foam' which is in commonly found in cleaning products like mr.clean 'magic eraser' works just as well.

A rubbing alcohol bath (put piece in Zip-lock bag with rubbing alcohol, shake and stir) works for resin in weed pipes.
I'm assuming it'd work for this too.

I've tried a few things... I do find rubbing alcohol to work, but it's time consuming and your hands always smell like shit after.  Resin always gets everywhere.
I now use oven cleaner to eat the fuck out of everything on the glass.
I then wash with dishsoap and water to get any remaining junk... that oven cleaner shit is acidic as hell.
Wear gloves!

Great suggestions thus far - I've not needed to remove any (yet) but check out Wikipedia's article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_glassware#Cleaning_laboratory_glassware

That's helped me in the past.

Lots of the chemicals can be obtained cheaply enough from eBay.

PriscillaMarie helped me out with the suggestion of bleach water, which did wonders.
Just be sure to fully remove bleach residue before you load your piece for that first puff.
