[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 523935, member: 1690"] I'm an inexperienced pipe smoker, having only been smoking a pipe since 1962, so I'll ask: Anyone know if "alcohol causes mini-fissures" on acrylic bits, as I just read on another site? Might be good to know, as I'm just starting to use full-strength Everclear to clean my pipes--and it works great. I suppose I could conduct my own tests before proceeding, but maybe someone here knows for sure. I've never noticed a problem using bourbon or isopropyl, but I have had two acrylic bit tenons snap when accidentally dropped. Wonder if alcohol was contributory to their breaking? Youth wants to know. [/QUOTE]
