was wondering how many folks have tumbled a bottle with a crack & had the bottle break or had the crack grow..........I've tumbled a couple damaged bottles before with success, but they were more common bottles I wasn't too worried about. I've got a dug USA HOSP DEPT bottle that has a tight, "stress" fracture about 3/4 inch long on the rear shoulder. I'm scared to death it'll bust wide open. If I do clean it I'll turn it on a slow speed & use a minimal amount of copper. I know it's anybody's guess but I'd like to hear some experts opinions (or maybe a little encouragement!)
