How do I put foil on a hookah bowl?
When putting foil on your bowl, you want to make sure the flat area covering your shisha remains tight and as free of wrinkles as possible. Once your shisha has been packed, place a sheet of foil gently over the top of your bowl. While using one hand to hold the foil against the edge of the bowl, take your other hand and carefully begin to "crimp" the foil down around the edges of your bowl. Rotate your bowl and repeatedly crimp the foil tighter around the entire edge until it is securely molded to the sides.
