I have a pipe with a metal bowl and screen and whenever I clean it properly the screen won't stay in because the bowl's sides are smooth and the resin is gone.
As I smoke more and more the resin builds up and it stays in place.
Is there any trick to avoiding this problem?
Take the tip of an ink pen or some needle nose pliers and push the center of the screen down to make it more of a bowl shape. I know exactly what you're talking about it only happens with brand new screens. I usually just use the pen or pliers and gently push the center in on the screen until it stays in the bowl without flying out and spilling your herb everywhere.
buy a glass jack/screen. Most headshops sell glass jacks for a dollar a piece.
Keep it green.
