Getting resin out of glass bowls

[Substance G]

So I have this really weird chamber that like spirals, so it's hard to clean it with like a qtip or something. What I've been doing is holding up a flame to that part of the bowl and letting it sit there long enough to let the resin start melting. Is this bad? Any danger in cracking the glass?

what really matters is how thick your glass is... in your case, with spiraling glass, it sounds rather thin. i have had a few pipes explode in my face while i was "smoking" the resin out of them with a flame heating them up... still, it should be fine, as long as yuou dont hold the flame to the glass long enough for a permanent carbon mark on the pipe... then again, to be safe, id just soak my pieces in alcohol and salt and let the alcohol evaporate to get the pure thc for later

Get a caontainer large enough to submerge the whole piece in liquid. The cover it in rubbing alccohol, and itll eat the resin right outta your pipe. It doesnt harm the glass, and it wont affect the designs either.

Use rubbing alcohol+salk aka 420cleaner. If you're trying to get the resin out for smoking use a paperclip.

a HOT paperclip works well too.
