Hookah Burn

[electricplayer16]

Well I was smoking hookah in my room and when I took the coal off with the tong it fell on my carpet anf burned the top. It just seems to have a black tar on it and the carpet doesnt seem to badly burned. Can anyone suggest anyway to make it look alittle better?

the tongs that came with my mya qt sucks so much. I just put 4 new burns in my carpet in one session.

ya I tried that but it only got rid of all the ash and not the stain. When it feel I actually caught it first then realized how hot it was and dropped it haha

what color is the carpet? my friend has a sort of plum colored carpet that has at least 8 coal burns on it. if you brush it the right way with your shoe or something of that nature, it makes the burn fit in more. anyone who has a carpet will know what im talking about - if you "brush" the carper in a certain way it becomes darker.

my whole carpet has like 50 burn marks and a couple burns going all the way through and i use a small rug under the hookah too, it just bounces off sometimes, shit happens.

you can clean them using carpet cleaner but still look singed...depending on how big your closet is, my friend cut out huge sections of carpet there and cut out the burned carpet, replaced and it almost looks believable. Edited August 26, 2007 by Scoop

this is what we do at my buddy's appartment:


take a knife (pocket knife, swiss army knife, etc) and just scrape the carpet like you were shaving it. it gets most of the black, burned carpet off without taking out carpet

from now on my friend has a huge poster frame without the poster in it - glass like 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide. we use it as a hookah rug.

A glass hookah rug--that's really smart.

[SafeSearchOff]

are you being sarcastic? tone of voice is hard to detect through a keyboard...
it seriously works very well.

[garykainz]

glass sounds fancier than what we went with... a stolen construction sign (huge, probably 4 feet by 4 feet). though it is entertaining to look down and see "road work ahead" under our feet...

A wire brush usually helps get the burnt plastic residue out of the carpet, you can probably even fluff the carpet back out with some needle nosed pliers, thats what we used to do at my friends place.

Good story to tell...I brought my hookah over to my dads place to smoke, seeing as how I had to watch my sisters that retarded few days. My dad was on some business trip of w/e. So brought the hookah, set it up...smoked, went to rotate and dropped a coal. Now. To cover it up so know one would know. I went over to a corner section of the carpet. cut off pieces of carpet (very very small pieces...just the fuzzy part too. So in other words, if you hold it in your hand it looks like tan pubes. LOL!!!

anyways, I wook the pieces and super glued them to cover the black spot. So far know one knows shit.

LOL beats my computer box.

i cut a square out of my closet big enough to fill the square i cut around the burn mark and then just hot glue it back in place and with a little tweaking, you cant notice it at all.

If you can't buy a rug or steal a construction sign, just take two huge pieces of tin foil and put it under your hookah. You should probably put the hookah on a large, flat book (I'm sure you've got some textbook lying around that you don't need). That's what I do in houses I don't own. If the coal bounces off, it won't bounce far enough because of the carpet underneath (as opposed to a hard surface). And the foil does something very self-explanatory.

Find some scrap wood, make a large "place-mat" for your hookah.

For those of you complaining about your tongs, have you bent them? Tongs work better, I think, if, instead of being shaped like an inverted V (as they are when you buy them), you bend them so that, when open, the arms are parallel to each other...maybe a little more open, so when you clasp down, they become parallel.

i bend my tongs from the middle to the end in another /\ shape

so side ways it looks like <>

kind of like a pincer, so i can pinch the coal, works for me..

Hey thanks brah, I think you just saved my deposit.


Also for future sake you can buy huge area rugs at home depot for like 15 bucks, and they've stopped every other burn i've had. I just had one single coal bounce off the rug a few months ago and now i'm fretting about the hole.
