Oxygen Cleaning LP hoses?

If anyone is planning to O2 clean their LP hoses... I wonder if they would mind posting their system for O2 cleaning their mouth.... gargle with simple green?

Thanks for the writeup, Rick - that was an interesting read.

warning: partial hijack (still hoses & o2 cleaning, but HP instead of LP).

After my fun with an unremovable spg spindle I've decided to replace my HP hoses & SPG's with conventional ones. I'm sitting next to a new HP hose that would benefit from cleaning before I pressurize it with oxygen. Just out of curiosity, would you do anything different for HP when using Crockpot Technology? I'm guessing no, but then I'd also prefer not to burn the dive boat down to the waterline.

Another question: what is a prudent max water temperature for this - 50C? 70C?
