i know, i assume im missing something.

Stick you graphite push back in the hole after it cools and blow. Super simple.

If you can't work a weld without plugging the bowl hole you should probably quit smoking.

yeah i know how to do it. if its ever necessary to push the bowl early i prefer to plug the bowl with a wad of fiber blanket to allow freedom of movement, better inflation control and no chance of thermal shock from a graphite tool or cold air rushing thru the piece.

I hardly ever plug the bowl hole.. its not neccessary.. in fact I prefer it open because you dont overinflate your weld that way.. bubblers same thing its always open.. Its not like you can do a drop stem after you do a weld on a bub...
