[QUOTE="jacko, post: 117473, member: 1241"] Folks Does anyone have an easy way to completely remove the cake from a bowl of a pipe other than reaming? I'm wondering if there is something that will dissolve it without having to physically attack it. Now before I get berated with comments about why on earth one would want to do such a thing, let me explain. I have purchased a few very old estate pipes that I'm restoring to a 'as new' state. The only challenge that I'm facing is getting the decades of cake out of the bowl. Part of the restoring is stripping the old finish (which allows me to fully clean the top of the bowl since most are scorched very badly) as such I would be open to the use of chemicals that would not normally be used. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
