Re: prob with dottles

A pipe pen knife will be sharp enough to scrape off flakes stuck on the side, equally a normal small pen knife, you should always scrape a pipe out very gently, but when breaking-in a new pipe EXTRA care must be taken...cause you don't want to scape off that sweet layer of cake you've just built-up.

The theory goes flakes of baccy stuck on the side can create hotspots which 'may' lead to pipe burn-out latter. I find the scapers on a cechz our usually too blunt for scaping.
