OK...I always said I'd never smoke resin but I havnt smoked in a week & I'm desperate. If anybody can help w a quick answer I'd really appreciate it!????...still can't believe they don't have a bowl!!
If its a glass piece Isopropyl alcohol extraction is the cleanest and most efficient (you can get every last drop of resin out), but it can sometimes take a day or two to evaporate the alcohol depending on temp, humidity, airflow, and the strength of the iso.
You will need..
1. Strong Isopropyl alcohol: any off the shelf iso will work but its diluted with water which evaporates much slower than alcohol so if you can get 90% or higher iso its faster. Also the stronger iso will help dissolve the resin easier.
2. A large shallow glass dish with a nice flat bottom: I usually use a 13x9 glass cake pan.
3. A razor blade
Basically pour some iso into the pipe or bong or whatever your trying to clean, plug the holes, and shake it up. When the iso turns dark brown/black pour it out into the pan. If there is still more resin left in the piece just fill it up again and repeat as many times as necessary. Leave the pan somewhere with plenty of airflow to evaporate the alcohol away. Iso is toxic so make sure all the iso completely evaporates. Iso evaporates much much faster than water so when it looks like all the liquid is gone its probably fine but Id give it a few more hours to be sure. Its normal for the resin to be somewhat moist and sticky even after the iso is gone so don't panic about that. After the iso is gone just use the razor blade to scrape the pan.
