This used to be a chore with pipe cleaners and alcohol. Holding them under a stream of hot water and drying with paper towels did an excellent job.
Thanks for the reply, Cosmic.Wolf, chasingembers mentioned that, but it would have to be very very hot water. It has never happened to any of my stems, and I’ve been doing this for well over a year.
Thank you Trouttimes, for pointing that out. That is a very important point. See? You're fitting in just fine here :clap:If you wash your pipes with water, how do you justify all the different rums you keep on the work bench?
