Cleaning an acid etched bottle? - 6/8/2011 4:16:38 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Can I soak this in Muriatic Acid without damaging the etching? i was also wondering if there was a way to bring out the etching a little better. It looks quite faded to me. Swiz < Message edited by swizzle -- 6/8/2011 4:17:01 PM > Post #: 1

If its sand blasted then I know it won't bother it at all but I'm not sure about the acid etching. I'm assuming that the acid actually decays a thin layer of the glass and gives an effect similar to sick glass. Am I right, if so then there shouldn't be any worries about sinking this sucker in the Muriatic Drink. Swiz  (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3

I'm no expert but the stencil looks more for paint that what I've seen. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 10

Its hard to tell for sure from the photo. Old faded paint does look like that sometimes. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 6/9/2011 8:50:09 AM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 11

RE: Cleaning an acid etched bottle? - 6/9/2011 4:12:00 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I'm pretty sure its etched. One of my diggin' buddies Jim has the same bottle with stronger etching or at least cleaner etching. I may have some tough to remove dirt or grim in the etching. I'll know more when its done soaking.
