You can try floric acid. You can get it at pro cleaning supplies outlets. It's for cleaning aluminum, stainless and the like. Only use it on the inside because it will pit the outside of some bottles for some reason. Fill the bottle and let it sit for 7 to 10 mins. Be sure not to forget about it or you will ruin the bottle. The white cloudy stuff will drop to the bottom. You can then pour it into the next bottle but it will lose it potentency after two uses. Costs about 8 bucks. If the bottle is truely sick it wont work. Only tumbling will fix that. Sick bottles are damaged on the inside and out usually. < Message edited by capsoda -- 7/9/2006 8:20:06 PM > _____________________________ 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 PhillyDigger1986) Post #: 4
