Gravel Cleaning with Alligator - 9/2/2011 12:53:34 AM    springhead   Posts: 96 Joined: 8/8/2011 From: Wilkes Barre Scranton Pa Status: offline It's hard to find sand here near Scranton Pa. So I cleaned these two with some fine gravel from the driveway and dish soap. It worked pretty well. The Smuck & Co. had a lot of black inside.

I dusted off the Venetian glass alligator bottle. They put some horrible wine in some wicked cool bottles!

Cut copper wire is better. Cool alligator! (in reply to springhead) Post #: 3

I especially like that Red Bank one. I'm pretty sure you can buy sand from a lot of stores, though... Hardware stores maybe? _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

Its made from resin and cleans bottles with no side affects. Last just about for ever too. I've been using it for decades. _____________________________ " Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason" Samuel Clemens (in reply to springhead) Post #: 7
