HELP!!! Kinda messed up my piece!

I decided to clean out my a'maze'd pipe, and stuck a qtip into the shoot. It worked like a charm, until it broke off inside!

Can anyone think of a way to get it out? I've tried to heat up the pipe, hoping to incinerate it, but that hasn't really worked. Is there anything I can use to dissolve it??

In case you're wondering what I mean:



The q-tip is stuck inside the shoot of the piece on the bottom left in the picture. Its closed on one end, so I can't push it out.

Thanks! All help is appreciated

 

? I don't understand how that thing works... I have no idea how to help you, sorry

 

yeah confused also... i would suggest tweezers but I'm sure you already tried.

 

^^^my thoughts exactly jniggs

 

thats a pipe? weird
doubt anything will dissolve it
a q tips not a very good cleanning utensil to begin with
is it justthe cotton stuck in it or part of the plastic too..
if its just the cotton, perhaps u can pour in some rubbing alcahol and ignite it? (carefully)
orange oil will dissolve alotta things but i dunno about cotton, but may be worth a shot
also..cocacola suposedly will dissolve steal even if u leave it soak overnight (just another reason not to drink that nasty shit)
ahhh wait..brilliant
ok, take apart a pen, take the spring..pull 1 end so it unravels slightly..stck it in, twisting in the direction that i will like drill into the cotton and hook it..once ya got it hooked just pull it out


then dont use a q tip again

 

^ walaa and a perfect solution!

hahaha thats probably a better idea, but I thought of trying to bend a coat hanger and trying to somehow persuade it out with that. But yea, I'd definately go with the spring from the pen idea.

 

blow it?

 

Stick in a smaller q-tip than the one originally used? Or some sort of other poking device?

 

force it out with a toothpick...

 

or unbent paper clip. or pin for that matter...

 

its some sorta odd bowl..i cant figure it out..but u cant just poke it out, you'll hafta hook it and yank it..if the spring dont work, maybe the barb on a straightened out fishhook might

 

I was able to fix it, with the help of a drill and a 1/16 drill bit. Since it was only a paper qtip, all I had to do what wet it and VERY delicately drilled away at the blockage, and eventually it broke down, and my a'maze'd is back in working order!!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I tried the pen spring, but the qtip was too jammed in for it to help, also the incineration idea didn't pan out either.
