Will muratic acid clean this bottle? - 10/29/2008 6:49:39 PM    Bent_Twig Posts: 137 Joined: 10/8/2008 From: Northern Ohio Status: online Hey folks. I am new to all of this and I am sure it has been asked a bunch. I was wanting to know if this would clean w/muratic acid or if the only way to clean this flask is by tumling? Cant hardly see thru it is so hazy.Any ideas on this one?                                               Thanks, Bent-Twig. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I assume you know Doug.  Maybe Eddie in Cinci will tumble that for ya. (in reply to Bent_Twig) Post #: 5

And if not covered will catch flys/wasps etc. and then they is stuck to the glass!  Also when oiled ,you got to be really careful in picking it up as it will shoot out of your hand. i would go tumble or just enjoy it the way it is,hey it still looks cool. _____________________________ A lady just came from COLUBIA SHE smiled cause I did not understand THEN she held out some marijuana,oh ho I said "NO NO ",I don't smoke it no more I'M tired of waking up on the floor THEN IT MAKES IT HARD TO FIND THE DOOR!

Its sort of like if your car wont start ,you check the battery first,if thats not it, you check the starter,and so on.You don't want to rebuild the engine first. _____________________________ My web page.
