In a thread about my holy grail bottle, which is moderately sick, I got this suggestion from creeper71 on how to clean it:
"Conner, You probly won't have to tumble that bottle.. all you probly going to need is a bottle brush set an a bottle of THE WORKS TOLIET CLEANER. What you will need to do is put the works inside the bottle 1/4 way up an surmerge in a bucket of water for aleast 2-3 days. checking on it after 2. after it has been soaking an your ready to clean the bottle have a another bucket of clean water an dump the water with the works out in the same bucket it was in then carefully drop the bottle into the clean water an rinse it off if there is anything sticking to the bottle use your bottle brushes. btw USE GLOVES WHEN USING THE WORKS OR YOU WILL GET MILD CHEMICAL BURNS ON YOUR HANDS. ALSO FOR YOUR SAFETY WEAR GOGGLES TO PROTECT YOUR EYES. "
Has anyone used this method before, and if so, did it help cure the sickness at all? This bottle is extremely rare, so I want to be careful when cleaning it. It is covered in thin white stain, but has patches of iridescent stain too. I know tumbling is usually the best option, but this bottle has EXTREMELY strong embossing, so I want to preserve that if possible. Any suggestions on how to clean it would be appreciated.
It also has a couple of small chips out of it. One on the lip and one on the base edge. What product should I use to repair them? I don't think I'd want to attempt it on my own, so do you know anyone that specializes in repairing chipped bottles?
