Problem with my Bong :/

[The Stoned Jester]

sup all

 

i took apart my bong to give it a really good clean for packing away cause im moving.

 

but now i cant get it back together!

 

its just the rubber stopper underneath it, but ill be fucked if i can get the bastard back in.

 

its a really tight fit around the base and the stopper is quite chunky.

 

anyone got any ideas to get it back in?

tried lubing it up? use water based lube.

try soaking the rubber in boiling water to soften it up thats how you fit rubber seals on most everything........... Edited March 11, 2011 by Hotrod13

By the looks of things, you have the same size billy as myself.

Last time I took the bottom bung out I had a hard time getting it back in too and ended up puncturing it slightly.

It's now stuck in permanantly with a bit of blu tack.

 

I advise not using anything like a small pair of scissors to encourage it in to place!

 

Both Ex's and Hotrod's suggestions are very good.

In the past I've just used a lil dish detergent.

 

Good luck!

i got one of those bongs for $12 at a tobaccanist the other day so it shouldn't be much of a loss if you dont fix it.

but i would definately try soaking the rubber in hot water as hotrod said...or you could just buy a new one for cheap
