Hey Charlie,
Are you an H. A. REY fan?

I had to google that name to find out who it is.. the illustrator, did Curious George, right? Seems cool to me! Why do you ask??

Charlie,
The fact that you had to google it means that you are not an H. A. Rey fan (which is perfectly fine). You see, I have a little guy and I have read him Curious George many times as a bedtime story. Because of that, I thought I recognized the meter of your instructions (as similar to some of Rey's story). Sorry if that seems nuts.

Okay. In part, your instructions are to "Do this:" then "SHAKE a while, then do this". At one point in the original 1941 story, George is coming back from Africa onboard a ship. Here's a copy . . .

While your method is quite resourceful, the last time I tried to cut copper wire with a drill press, I ALMOST LOST A FINGER![:-]
I'll stick to a 10 minute metal BB wash [;)]. . . . .

I can personally attest to the effectiveness of this method... Tried it out today on a bunch of bottles with internal stain, and I was blown away by how much better they looked! Everyone and their grandma should be using this method! [8D]

I cut up 18 gauge wire with some cutters... I now think I should've gone thicker, but I wanted to be sure not to scratch the bottle.

On another exciting copper-related note, I'm digging out a HUGE copper pipe from my dump... It's as thick around as your forearm! I don't know how long, as I haven't uncovered it yet, but I think by weight alone, it should fetch a hefty price... Here's to hoping [:)]

The thickness of my forearm is a heavily guarded secret, Wheel, so please don't post any pics of the pipe..
