cleaning the paint off Stone bottles

[wood]

Yes, I am a cheap bastard - anyone remember how to get the paint off these things? I remember someone mentioned it on the show - some pool chemical or something.

I would prefer not to use something that might render me impotent.

thanks

I think that's about as far as it went. Doc was the one who was talking about it. If you e-mail him let us all know what he says. I've got a mass amount of bombers from Pelican that have the same type of lable.

Here Guys I did the leg work searching this out on the more beer forum where I seen it. It is muratic acid take a read of this thread you will understand after that. http://morebeer.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph ... 79&start=0

Hrmm...Muriatic Acid eh? I happen to have a couple jugs of that laying around in my parents garage from when I was going to use them to strip the blueing off a POS rifle that I was going to re-blue.

Might have to look into that!

I took the paint of a couple of Rogue bottles using some very fine wet/dry sandpaper (emery cloth) and a thin slurry of Barkeepers Friend. Worked real ly well but it was a PITA. Okay for one or two bottles, but you wouldn't want to do a bunch of them.

Put it in a bucket full of water for a week or so and it rubs right off.

Are you kidding? From Muriatic acid to water? Hmmm - I like it. Water is pretty cheap around here.. I will test this theory and report with the results.

I need to move there. Water here costs more than gas per gallon. Maybe I'll try soaking mine in gas. BS, who am I kidding? I'll try the water thing.
