Bringing glass to dam?

Post by Addlestoner »

Well im travelling from gatwick to schipol and was wondering if a fully cleaned piece would warrent customs paying 'extra' attention to me. Also is their any risk of them being jackasses and taking it? because i dont wanna lose it cos its a mobius stereo matrix 60mm t. And also where in dam could i get isopropyl alcohol so i can fully clean before flight back?

If you think theres a genuine risk of losing it please say.

As long as it's 100% clean, you should be fine both ways.

Then leave it home. It is the return trip where you could have trouble.

You can fill a cookin pot with water, add a dish washer tab, boil it up and then use the boiling water plus a brush to clean it.
Will make the bong look like new. Not sure what would be the best way to make it look like new before you head back though.

I dont normally use hot water on my glass i think alcohol works better, I think bringing it has more potential for harm than good, I will just rent a roor and .de diffy. Thanks for the input
