Hi, just wanted to let you know I agree with you completely. I have used denatured alcohol , horrible stuff, but I then use vodka to rinse out any parts of the pipe, that it has touched. It was just experimental. And won't bother again with it. It's for making with shellac flakes. And maybe cleaning something.Kevin Keith wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:07 pm One more thing, @Alex. Don't use isopropol alcohol. People do use it to sanitize an estate pipe, I have too. But I have come to the conclusion that if I'm going to use alcohol to clean I'll just use something tha humans can (theoretically) drink, i.e., Everclear, ethanol. I don't know that smoking a pipe cleaned with isopropol would hurt you, but I just don't want to take that chance.
By the way that's an excellent picture of you, I'm assuming , with your pipe in your mouth.
