Wax inside the bowl

[matchstickman]

Whenever I finish up refurbing a pipe, I lay on a layer of Paragon Wax on the bowl to help shine it up a little bit. I have always waxed the rim when doing this as well, and the other day, I accidentally got a tiny bit of Paragon on the inside of the bowl. Would it be OK to smoke it like this? If it is harmful, how do I go about removing it from the inside of the bowl?

I wouldn't want to smoke wax. Not sure what you'd use to remove it though.

Some high proof alcohol should do the trick. The wax would probably not be harmful but , who wants to find oput.

I think the Paragon and Halcyon waxes are designed to smoke off anyway, so I doubt they are toxic.

alcohol should do it just fine, like suggested.

Alcohol it is! I actually considered doing this very thing but thought I would get another opinion anyway. Thanks to unclearthur and nathaniel. Just swabbed the offending spots with a q tip dipped in everclear. It seemed to do the trick. Someday I will have to post pics of my latest refurbs. Thanks again everyone!

Baskerville, I officially feel like an ass. You were the first one to mention it. My hats off and an apology, and perhaps a bag of tobacco coming your way! :puffpipe:
