Can you soak a pipe in alchohol for TOO long?

  1. I wanted to clean my spoon pipe so i put it in a ziploc bag with 91% alchohol. But i forgot about it, and spent the night at a friends place. So now my pipe has been sitting at home in isopropyl alchohol for more than 24 hours. Is this bad, or does it not matter?
     
  2. It’s fine.
    Just rinse it well.

  4. If its glass it will be just fine
    Might actually give it a good cleaning
    Sometimes painted pipes do get discolored though

  5. I leave my glass pieces in jars of 91 iso for weeks sometimes, just rotate em out.
     
  6. Get Goof-Off. Then clean with Dawn and warm water afterwards.

  7. goof-off is petro based and full of terrible chemicals, dude...I know dawn is a good soap but you are not getting all that residue off! Be smart and use isopropyl and if you need a scrubbing agent use table salt with it.

  8. Thanks. I know it's a solvent, but it doesnt bond to the glass. Dawn does get it clean. I know this because I paint different things now and then, and if goof-off isnt cleaned off of a part, it will screw up the paint. After using Dawn, thoroughly, it does.
     
  9. 24hrs isn't even a concern for glass. Unless like said before there's something painted on it, then maybe. You can literally store iso in sealed glass or pyrex indefinitely. .
     
  10. oghh... just forget it. Clean your pipe with water and everything gonna be good)
    Enjoy it!
     
  11. I've had my pipe in jars for months when I went out of town. 100 % ISO

  12. I leave my brass pipe in ipa for days at a time. I’ve been doing this to this pipe for 22 years.
     
  13. Rinse through hot water. The hot water helps the pipe not taste like rubbing alcohol.
     
  14. it does not matter. Glass is not pourous, so it will not absorb the alcohol. Make sure you rinse really good with hot water. Enjoy.
