Topic: Removing limescale.

For years I've used good old fashioned auto body rubbing compound. Just mix with a bit of water to form a paste & always add a few drops of water when working on the item when the paste starts to haze. The main key(s) are NEVER let your Dremel speed exceed 2 (simply stay on 2) & you will avoid heat buildup which will crack most glass & use patience.

Thank you for your thoughts and comments, all very interesting to read and I'm learning new things.
I have never looked into glass sickness, as I always thought it was a myth, but surprized to read that it actually does exist!


What the silicone oil concerns Ivo ...  ... just kidding .... heard you loud and clear.

The stick to fit on the drill works really well on items with a smooth interior. He should patent it.

It takes about 40 minutes to clean something really well though.
