Hey folks.

I am new to all of this and I am sure it has been asked a bunch. I was wanting to know if this would clean w/muratic acid or if the only way to clean this flask is by tumling? Cant hardly see thru it is so hazy.Any ideas on this one?

Thanks, Bent-Twig.

That beauty most definitely needs a tumble.

If you can't afford to tumble use baby oil...it will give the tumbled appearance in a wet way.

I assume you know Doug. Maybe Eddie in Cinci will tumble that for ya.

Oil on the outside ,but can be a problem on the inside as the oil will turn brown over a time and is TOUGH to get out when you want too. And if not covered will catch flys/wasps etc. and then they is stuck to the glass! Also when oiled ,you got to be really careful in picking it up as it will shoot out of your hand. i would go tumble or just enjoy it the way it is,hey it still looks cool.

RE: Will muriatic acid clean this bottle?

Just try the acid,if it doesn't work then get it tumbled.
Its sort of like if your car wont start ,you check the battery first,if thats not it, you check the starter,and so on.You don't want to rebuild the engine first.[;)]
