I have this little pipe with a bowl on the end and I was trying to clean it out by using this little plastic rod and the rod broke and now there is this little piece of plastic stuck in my bowl and I do not know what to do to get it out! Anyone know what to do?

If it went in, it'll come out, shake shake shake shake shake,. turn the tap on full and force water through one end to the other

i would boil it in water for 30 minutes and hope to shrink that plastic down some and fish it out after it cools.

Ok well i was cleaning the bown through the carb when the plastic broke off. I was trying for an hour and a half to get it out when it finally came out. I was trying and trying to get it back out through the carb but it was just the size of the carb and there was no possible way to get force behind the plastic and push it out. So I flushed it with water making it drain out through the stem. Then i put a flexible plastic ziptie through the carb and down the stem and push it out. Wow that was so stressful, haha.

If he was scraping it he was prolly tryin to save the resin. Salt and rubbing alcohol with boiling water is the best if you just wanna clean your glass without keeping the resin.
