Answers:
use the 70% isopropyl and that salt should work just fine.
What I may recommend is to pour about 1/3 mixture very hot water into a zip lock bag. fill the rest 2/3rds with isopropyl and then just dump some salt in and shake it up. Once mixed drop ur bubbler in it, seal it up and shake it around (carefully though, you wouldn't want to break that beautiful bubbler). After shaking it around for a couple minutes and letting it sit, use a pipe cleaner to get the rest of the resin out.
Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the frosted mouthpiece, should work fine. :)Health Question & Answer

We always just use regular rubbing alcohol and table salt. For our bubbler, we put it in a long, flatish tupperwear container with the alcohol/salt and shake it around a bit. Pipe cleaners work well for getting the last bit of resin that won't budge. Happy smoking!Health Question & Answer
Save the everclear for New Years, but the rubbing alcohol mix should work OK. Back in the day, we had plastic bongs. They reacted badly to any type of alcohol. It would basically destroy them ! We found that if we scraped as much out as we could, then we used a friend's parents denture cleaning tablets ! Wow ! What a shine !Health Question & Answer
