What kind of bong i.e.-Glass Plastic?

If It's glass you could try boiling it in a big pot of water, that should do the trick. Wiggle and pull the stem out while it's hot (with a towel of course.)

Unless smell is an issue than maybe not such a good idea.

I was thinking soaking it in rubbing alcohol

You would need a lot of alcohol to soak the whole thing...water is free. I was thinking that the hot water would loosen up the resin. I say use the hot water to get the stem out and then use the alcohol to clean it.

if it is glass use alcohol if not use a blower dryer to heat up the stem
& clean your bong ........peace

Sounds good to me, heat expands and cold contracts just for the record.

NEVER BOIL YOUR GLASS BONGS!

you could take a wire coat hanger and just work it
Alcohol and sea salt work great for cleaning you bongs (glaas or plactic)
just a cup of alcohol 3 tablesoons of salt and spin
Good luck and Welcome! ~HAzz

when using glass bongs really be particular about repetitive cleaning with alcohol and pipe cleaners with bristled embedded for better cleaning. the burnt resins arent worth the cost of having to buy new parts so i just say clean clean clean between every bowl...it really it worth the effort

Just get a bigger hammer.

Try spraying a small amount of WD-40 around the stuck parts. It will breakdown the resin like it does rust. Once unstuck wash it all really good.
