How do I keep Perspex translucet stems clean

You shouldn't clean Acrylite, Plexiglas, Lucite, Optix, Polycast, Chemcast, Acriglas or Excelon (brand names for acrylic) with isopropanol, ethanol, methanol or acetone. See this link.

Shank Brush, Soap, and Water = Deep Cleaning
I used the running water method of cleaning on a Peterson Christmas 2015 brandy. I got a little water on the outside of the bowl (I didn't realize how verrrry slowly you need to dribble the water in). Now the many fills (which weren't initially visible) are a distinctly different colour than the...- yaddy306

"Burley Abhors a Flame" what's it mean?
Maybe it has more to do with the curing of the leaf, not the smoking of it.- yaddy306

Kajun Kake - plume or mold?
If only some scientists would do an analysis of tobacco bloom using advanced methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry, ionic chromatography, UV spectrophotometry and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Oh wait. They did: Analysis of Chemical Components in Bloom on Cigar Leaf- yaddy306

Opening a 10 Year Old Sealed Mason Jar
The threads I remember concerning tins of Capstan Flake (from 1938 or something) referred to the contents turning to "shitdust" within a few days of opening a sealed tin. That being said, 10 year old FVF is not 80 year old Capstan Flake.- yaddy306
