I might add that this bottle was dug out of about 3ft. of ash at the base of a very large toppled over tree-John Steeles Niagra Star Bitters the glass is extremely sick-and really needs a radical cleaning-what to do? Anybody?-J.D (in reply to deepwoods) Post #: 2

There is still a risk of it breaking but it helps, the glue is damn hard to get out too but a long soak will do the trick. (in reply to deepwoods) Post #: 3

Its not doing any good any way,and it looks like trash hanging there. Then I put it into cut, this will remove a very small amount of the surface glass, called cutting.It will not hurt the embossing. then I polish it and when it comes out it will look like a mold mark, or it may be gone. But most likly it will look like a mold mark. rick kern (in reply to deepwoods) Post #: 4
