I migh have asked this question someplace else-but like a stoner, i forgot where i posted previously....
So, instead of tinfoil, what is a good household item to create a sort of screen for my creations??

unscrew the end of one of the faucets in your house.....most have a screen thats the perfect size for most bowls, and should be safe to smoke from as well!! Make sure to clean it up a little before using if it appears dirty.....soaking it in rubbing alcohol for an hour or two should loosen up any buildup on the screen

Unscrew a faucet and grab a screen... that's what I do on short notice.

Another good way to clean the gunk off of a faucet screen is to heat it with a lighter for a while. Let it turn red and keep it that way for around thirty seconds (hold it with some pliers so you don't burn yourself), then flip it around so your holding the screen on the other side and scorch the rest of it. Let the lighter rest after the first burn, they’re not made to keep lit for that long...

It still wouldn't hurt to dunk it in rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide after you burn it, if just to get all the gunk your lighter left on it (the black crap).

LoL i remember doing that with our old sinks..eventually we got sinks that use these plastic type of screens. But I would just go to the local hardware store and to see sink screens, thats what I do then i just grab 5 of them for less than a buck

Like vickyFL i too have 3 types of screens, glass is very nice when used with
a glass pipe. Brass does tend to get a taste to it, stainless steel is the way to go if it's metal your going to use.
And yeah, the faucet things that screw to the end of the faucet have nice screens. On most of them you get more than one and the size is good too.
Been doing that for years, and if you don't burn off your screen all the time
they last a very long time.
I gave my brass screens away too a long time ago.
Speaking of which i think it's time to fire up the proto pipe, anyone have one?.
Mine is brass the stainless one was a lot of cash so....
