[QUOTE="dougc905, post: 145091, member: 537"] First of all - don't get alcohol on the outside finish of the pipe! Remove the stem and pour as much table salt down the shank as you can. Plug the hole with something like a small cork. Turn the pipe and fill the bowl with salt as well. You want to completely fill the pipe with table salt. With the pipe supported so that it won't tip, pour the strongest unflavoured alcohol that you can find into the pipe. Everclear is an example of what you may use. Leave the pipe until you think the alcohol has evaporated, then wait another week to be sure. The salt should turn colour as the gunk from the pipe is pulled into the salt by the alcohol. Dig the salt out of the pipe with your pipe tool. Use pipe cleaners on the shank and airhole. That's it. Make sure it is completely dry and try smoking it. Recall that alcohol is flammable so you have to be sure that all of the alcohol has evaporated before setting flame to tobacco! That's my version.... [/QUOTE]
