Will that work for bongs?

A little isopropyl (strongest possible) and a bunch of coarse salt will make your bong spotless. It does for mine.

I may be able to sneak out some from our lab 😁.

You can buy 90-91% isopropyl alcohol at any store pretty much. Usually in the pharmacy area. It's cheap too. That and some kosher or other large grain salt works well for cleaning many things. The salt won't dissolve in the alcohol.

70% won’t do it. You need 90% or higher. Buy 99% online if you can find it. This will clean all bowls too like new. Just put the bowl on a ziploc, fill it with alcohol, and let it soak.

I always used to struggle with this advice- it would still take a long time and a lot of shaking things around. It was a pain in the ass.

Then someone recommended microwaving the alcohol for about 30 seconds. I started doing that and it’s an absolute game changer.

Here you get 70% or 99%. Both work but I’ll never use 70% again unless I am desperate lol

Plus taking hits through the isopropyl and coarse salt mixture gets you even higher.
