Two requests appeared in my YouTube channel's Q&A comment section, one was how to remove hard carbon from a pipe's rim, and the other how to remove hardened tar at the bottom of a mortise. Both are easily done with an inexpensive, specialized tool anyone can make, and don't require much practice or skill to use.
This video covers rim carbon removal:
And this one how to clean a mortise:

Yikes! Not brave enough to use a shiv on a pipe rim. 😰 A wet paper towel works wonders for me.  |

Interesting ideas, I wouldn't use either one. For the rim I use either either spit on a thumb and work it around the rim the use paper towel to wipe clean. Or I use cold coffee on a pipe cleaner and wipe around the rim until clean.
As for the mortis I use a jumbo paper clip that has been straightened to clean this junction.
