Poison and embalming containers - 10/6/2011 9:13:57 PM    Silverback   Posts: 3 Joined: 10/6/2011 Status: offline I am wondering if you can ever count on getting a bottle clean enough to drink from it? One that previously had embalming fluid or Marks Poison? Thanks. SB Post #: 1

I cleaned it out, loaded it with soda, and it sealed perfectly! Tasted pretty good too.  If you soak the bottles in a few solvents (99% Isopropyl or denatured alcohol, and then perhaps acetone), you should remove whatever trace contents may remain, and kill all the microbes at the same time. _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.
