    Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

    like i said before the paint is not under the glass, definitely on top of it, just stuck in the outer edge crevices/recesses. the dremel too maybe a bit too powerful, i prefer to use manual manpower LOL, to keep it under control. thanks for all the tips

    Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

    Here's a close-up. Doesn't look like impact, just the tiniest circular etchings lower left, and larger ones top right, with the slivers of paint embedded in the outer borders. Looking through a 4X loupe the paint is not trapped under the glass, definitely on the surface. It's coming off slowly...

    Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

    Here's the pic. The paint is embedded in the outer circumference of the circles. What do you call those, and what causes them? (the circles)

    Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

    i could use it (baking soda + vinegar) to rub off remaining paint, rather than cif (or vim) in the US/canada. Which would be gentler/less abrasive you reckon?
