But there's TONS of videos on youtube, and tons of answers on google, I'm not a home made guy myself, because I can just go buy some nice glass.

90% of my homemade pieces use either hot glue, clay, or electrical tape

If you can't hide a glue gun which shouldn't be hidden to begin with, you won't be able to hide your smoking. And it isn't hard to get a throw away credit card and buy glass online. I've done it multiple times

Then go to walgreens and get a $10 gluegun, it isn't rocket science.

Only thing i can think of is pick up a pack of bubble tape [6 feet of bubblegum in a roll thingy], chew it and place it over the joint. That should be pretty air tight. Also, off topic, cjien do any of the sites you buy off of take paypal?

[QUOTE=KPLZDN;24950039]i need that money to buy weed with is electrical tape non toxic[/QUOTE] No its not but if your thinking of burning it then yes

[QUOTE=Lockhax3d;24950111]No its not but if your thinking of burning it then yes[/QUOTE] that's what i mean okay cool, then electric tape it is

If it's difficult to hit, it'll be because it's not airtight, duct tape would be much better than electrical tape, at least I'd assume, for sticky-ness.

You can't spare $10 to buy a hot glue gun because the money is for weed? WTF.

UNDERAGEUNDERAGEINDERAGE. shouldn't you be spending that money on lunch young man?

fuck man, all my good homemade shit uses copious amounts of hot glue and duct tape [editline]03:22AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Robot Jesus;24951854]If you are really that poor, then smoke out of an apple.[/QUOTE] or even a can, I used cans almost exclusively before getting my first pipe [editline]03:25AM[/editline] [QUOTE=KPLZDN;24950039]i need that money to buy weed with is electrical tape non toxic[/QUOTE] i bought a black and decker glue gun and a pack of glue sticks for a total of $7. don't tell me that shit'll stop working, 3 years later the gluegun still works. fuck, just tell your parents you want that shit for some hobbycraft

Same with tin foil bowls. If you want a cheap way to smoke, apples are the best way to go. Or just buy some papers at 7/11.

Tin foil being dangerous is just a myth as there is little evidence to support that they cause harm. There was a study that linked tin foil to Alzheimer's but there have been more recent studies that contradict those studies. Now tin foil would be dangerous if you get a kind that is coated with some chemical for whatever reason. As far as what kind of adhesive is safe, it all depends on where the adhesive is going to be. On a bong, you can glue the stem on with super glue and give it a day or more to dry and it'll be fine especially since there will be no transfer of heat. If you're going to glue a socket onto a pen body, then that would likely be a bad idea because the heat is going to transfer to the glue which would let off fumes (that you may or may not notice) and it would likely break the piece.

[QUOTE=KPLZDN;24950039]i need that money to buy weed with is electrical tape non toxic[/QUOTE] How do you plan on smoking that weed then?

Dude, I thought stoners were supposed to turn into McGyver when they needed a bong. You know, like, you're in the middle of the desert naked, and you take a shit in the sand and make a bong out of it. Right? Anyways, a bottle with tinfoil works, seriously. Sometimes I've used bongs made out of stuff we found on the ground on a common sidewalk. Of course, if you have a pipe you can put that in a bottle and make it into a bong.

If you really have nothing, get a can, and stab a few tiny holes in the side, then pull through the open lid, holding the can horizontally, with the weed on top of the holes.

You must have fucking Nazi parents if you can't buy a hot glue gun without them being suspicious...

Russell dust. Alternatively Han Grode's spunky backpack.

Superglue away from the heated parts works good for me.

It sucks now that Sobe doesn't have glass bottles because they were perfect.

Blu Tac and electrical/duct tape.

And really, just use hot glue. if you cant get a hold of any, too bad.
