RE: dilution ratio - 8/22/2011 4:39:33 AM    epackage Posts: 9911 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: offline Deeno here is what a former member and friend from here sent me on the best way to use Muriatic acid...His name was Earl and anyone can tell you his bottles always looked beautiful after this treatment....Jim I use straight muriatic acid, the product name is called HASA, it is very strong industrial acid, I picked it up at a swimming pool supply store...You have to be very careful using it, do it outside, watch the wind direction, you want to be up wind, use rubber gloves and a mask, it does smoke when you pour it and you do not want to breath the vapors. The way I clean bottles is put a small amount inside the bottle just enough to cover the base, then I put the bottle inside a plastic 5 gallon bucket, pour some acid inside the bucket just enough to cover the bottom, then cover the bucket... I usually leave it in the bucket for 24 hours, the vapors of the acid is the one that cleans the bottle, remember when you open the bucket a lot of vapors will come out of the bucket, be very careful !!! I then rinse the bottle with water,I use a brush or sand to clean whatever the acid don't clean out, it's amazing how clean the bottle can get.... Earl (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 9
