Muriatic Acid and Iron (graphite) Pontils

[Black_Boogers]

I've been carefully using muriatic acid with great results for many of my bottles, but I haven't tried it yet on any of my iron or graphite pontiled bottles for fear of eating away the adhering iron on the pontil. This is non-diluted muriatic for swimming pools. Can anybody tell me if it will remove the iron or graphite on my pontiled bottles (which I certainly DON'T want to do)??!!?

Thanks,

Rick

HI Rick,

Yes it will remove the iron from your pontils i don't suggest doing it.

Hello Chris,

I kind of figured it might, especially considering what the stuff has done to the aluminum frame of the window screen I use to keep the outside duff out of the soaking tub [8|].

Thanks for the input!
