i was gonna say sand/little bit of gravel (via eggshell method) and/or test tube cleaner brush if long enough. also one has to wonder when these stains or whathaveyou become or are inert. tray cleaner does work well in some cases. ________________________________ From: Tim Daneliuk <tundra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Pure-Silver Mailing List <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 1:46 PM Subject: [pure-silver] Cleaning Brown Bottles Someone gave me several nice old Kodak brown glass bottles. One of them was crudded up beyond use, but the others are almost usable. I say "almost" because there is some residue on the inside that will not come off with repeated hot water/soap/rise cycles. (I believe they may once have held D-76.) The bottle opening is, perhaps about 20mm but the bottle diameter is probably around 80mm. This means it's kind of difficult to get into the bottle to scrub it out in any reasonable manner. Any ideas out there of how to get the residue out of these bottles or should I just toss them into the garbage? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
