Rust stain - 8/24/2004 12:52:03 AM    Humabdos   Posts: 446 Joined: 6/13/2004 From: Greenville Texas The Blackest land whitest people Status: offline I found another Canyon City bottle but it has a rust stain. I got most of it out with CLR. How can I get the rest out? or can I? This bottle has sold for between $40. and $90. on E bay. I wonder how much the stain would devalue it?

I cleaned about 100 acl bottles with it and it wont hurt the paint. Some of the bottles I cleaned were buried and been close to fire and soot is hard to get off sometimes. you can get it at Walmart for 1.97. While I was in Tennessee I would go by one guys dollar table and pick up relay bad looking bottles then take it back to my place clean them and have $5-10 bottles. Try it on the bottle a little first make sure paint isn't soft. It was a miracle worker for me. I cleaned a double dot red white and blue bottle for a friend and made it look better and probably increased his selling price by almost $5. It is a Powder comes in a gold colored sprinkle can.
