Acetone works good for tough grime. Just don't get it on any plastics. Acetone dissipates really quick so use it and dispose of it. Rinse piece thoroughly with water. May have to do an alcohol rinse after water rinse.

Purple Power at full strength with a good soak gets alot of tough stains off. Wear gloves though or it will eat your skin. Also, rinse the piece with lots of clean water. Until it doesn't feel slippery.

Of course, there are stains that may never come out.

Also what must be noted is don't get any of this stuff on your label if you got one cause it will come off and lower the value of your piece

The citric degreaser sold at the box hardware stores is called Zep. Lots cheaper than the head shop repackaged product. I dilute my Zep 1:1 with H2O and leave my pieces in overnight. Rinse with hot water and glass piece is back to new. Like mentioned it will eat decals and such.
Try bringing the piece up to almost boiling temps may dislodge any otherwise impenetrable areas.

Depends on what Iso you get. You want 90%+ Iso and some table salt. Doesn't need to be warm or heated. Empty the piece...fill with salt and Iso - and shake shake shake. Time and a bit of effort is all it takes.

Just soaking a tube with Iso in it is not going to work...nor would dissolving the salt in a warm liquid. The point is to have something that is coarse to work/rub the materials off the glass.

91 iso and sea salt for more friction gets the nasty out!

[phazer]

nice thanks for the response guys. ya a two week 91 iso drench didnt break this shit down at all. i hadnt really shaken it up much throughout that time but idk how much that really wouldve helped. Gonna try some sulfuric acid this week

[vapeorbong]

if your not willing to shake it with iso and salt to get it clean you may want to switch to papers in the future


shaking makes ALL the difference vs just a still soak

hot denatured alcohol ... 10 sec shake ... clean
