Repair/restoration ? - 9/17/2006 7:49:57 PM    hj   Posts: 114 Joined: 5/14/2006 From: Western Pa. Status: offline Hi Folks, I have come across several bottles recently with the wire bail porcelain stopper. Any one have any advice on how to restore the rusty wires to make them look better? I am afraid if I remove them the wire will break. Or should I just leave them be? TIA HJ Post #: 1

I use a little Ospho or Jabsco to turn the rust coating into zink. Thats what they claim, anyway it turns the wires gray. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to hj) Post #: 2
