[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 38075"] This boils down to two basic issues. One is that if you remove the stem [color=blue]and replace it while the pipe's still going or still warm [/color], the fit will get looser the more you do this. The second is headspace. If the end of the tenon fits flush up against the inside of the mortise, there's no need to pull the stem for cleaning. If it doesn't (evidenced by gunk on the face of the tennon end after smoking), there is. You don't need alcohol. Just clean it while it's still warm & goopy in there. It'll come right out. You don't need bristle cleaners. In light of the above, if you don't let it go 'til it's hardened, a regular cleaner will take care if it. Roll up a kleenex to get the gunk in the headspace. :face: [/QUOTE]
