Removing Rust - 7/31/2011 10:36:21 AM    ratbastard   Posts: 90 Joined: 7/18/2011 Status: offline Anyone have a good method of removing rust from bottles ? I just acquired a 1954 pepsi bottle with some rust on the front. I tried warm water and barkeepers friend but not much came off. Any tips ? Thanks  Post #: 1

Rub it over it and it should come off. Make sure the bottle is wet, though. I need to steel wool some '53 license plates that I found. _____________________________ Ryan MacLeay Looking for 'Vehicles in the Bush' pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Old-Truck/m-476657/tm.htm Also looking for Abandoned House pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Abandoned-House/m-495368/tm.htm (in reply to ratbastard) Post #: 2

Be careful with the steel wool though as to not scratch the glass! _____________________________ Looking for all Sea Isle City, NJ bottles!! (in reply to Bottles r LEET) Post #: 3

But muriatic acid works well too, on the solid caked rust. _____________________________ 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!
