Ever "baked" a bottle clean?? - 8/17/2009 5:10:20 PM    cyberdigger Posts: 12301 Joined: 11/29/2008 From: I 195 @ US 9, NJ USA Status: offline I keep wondering what would happen if you put a sick bottle in a kiln and very slowly get the temp up high enough to rid the bottle of white and opalescent sickness.. was this ever attempted by anyone??

I hope you're not thinking of torching any rare bottles? There is a tremendous risk of cracking and damage. There are very specific regiments for 'cooling' these (under conditions that are slightly less hot) as well. I would be very afraid for any rare bottle. If somebody wants to try it on a common piece of junk, I guess they should knock themselves out. (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 2

I gave her some cheap insulators and she turned them into plates and bowls. You can heat bottles all the way up until just before they slump and it still wont affect sickness or etching. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 5
