The Bottle Doctor a "Cure All" for Bottle Sickness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- After a few weeks of experimentation in my secret lair, I have come up with a process for removing most or all of the mineral deposits known as "Bottle Sickness". The process is quick and inexpensive as opposed to Bottle tumbling method that takes up to 12 days and lots of costly compounds.

Update! I have had bottles with clear coat for 2.5 years and they still look great, one has been on the window and no yellowing has occured :)
I'm gonna give this a go, got a few clear bottles that have some sickness that bugs me a bit.
@@zGJungle sounds good, should definitely reduce the sickness bigtime, use it inside and out if need be. If it dosent work out its soluble in Varsol , good luck
This might sound strange but is there a way of making bottles sick on purpose ? I mean like a way of making them sick faster ? I really like some.coloured bottles when they are fully sick.
that is something I have not yet experimented with :)
@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 I'm wondering if I left a bottle in a solution of lime, calcium and general muck if might take quicker? I found an aqua medicine bottle 2 days ago and it's got the most amazing iridescent finish that I would love to have on more bottles.
Awesome job J! You’re getting down with the sickness and curing all Brother!
haha thanks for watching Doug👍☺
Wow, I thought the only way to get rid of the sickness was to tumble, but you made them look awesome 👍!
tumbling requires far too much time, energy and cost, this is the lazy way lol glad you liked👍☺
A good collection there bud thanks for showing.
thanks☺ and thanks for watching👍
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 No problems.
Wow beautiful bottles, good finds, that's cool 👍 and good job 👍 thanks for sharing here my like#7 and blessings from chicago
thanks very much☺👍
This is a helpful video. Merry Christmas Janson
Thank you Josh :) and Merry Christmas to you and your family :)
Hey J , that works pretty good, those bottles look way better. Heading to the cabin in less than 2 weeks , will start doing some bottle digging again so will have to give it a try. All the best and take care.👍👍
glad you liked it man👍 by cabin, cobalt area?
I am very impressed and will be using your technique on boxes and boxes of " SICK" bottles. I will be a close follower of this channel henceforth!!
Glad I could be of help Hermanvick :) the clear coat can easily be dissolved with Varsol if you don't get the desired effect the first time, hope you like the results
Hot damn! That worked quite well! I'd say for common bottles that's a great trick! I just don't think I'd put in on any of the rare ones lol!
Nice job J, that's 100% something I'd never have thought of to get rid of sickness!
the clear coat is soluble in varsol so this is not a permanent thing☺ but glad you enjoyed, if you give it a try sometime, let me know how it turned out👍
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 Good to know it can be removed.
a soak in varsol and a brushing and its gone
Kool! I like it, Great job "J" If I find some old bottles in my travels I'm defiantly going to give it a try.👍
right on☺ thanks for watching Jim👍
Bottle sickness I thought when u drink to much from the booze bottle 😀 Great tip for cleaning we always trying different stuff to clean are bottles we find. 👍🐅😎
lol it can be from drinking too much☺ thanks for watching and hope this helps👍
Love! Thanks for great info
thanks for watching👍☺
Nice job!👍 Yep, two choices in curing bottle sickness is either removing glass through tumbling and polishing or adding a clearcoat. Your method is more accessible as tumbling is expensive and best left for more valuable bottles. Many people mistake bottle sickness as a deposit but is actually etching where a micro amount of the surface has actually dissolved away.
interesting, did not know that, I figured it would consist of mostly calcium...but i shure dont have time to tumble so this is the lazy mans way☺ thanks for watching, and have to catch up on your content, been a busy dude...
I hear ya and no worries! I’ve stopped trying to catch up on everyone’s content. Got to just get to what you can when you can. I’ve looked into tumbling and it gets crazy expensive with all the equipment and supplies needed. I think it would be worth it if you did it for others and charged a fee or you have a good supply of nice bottles that you’re selling. Or you could be sitting on a bunch of cash and don’t know what to do with it. I’ll have to try this on some of my old slicks that are very sickly. Would be great to have them looking shiny clear!
a friend mentioned the same plan, restore bottle business, but too busy workin in hospital/treasure hunting and art works to pull that off lol would be a cool side gig though👍
Modge Podge clear coat works fantastic.
Good to know :) and thanks for sharing Trevor
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing
glad you enjoyed, had the idea from spraying car headlight covers with 2 stage clear coat when I was a painter👍
Hello there where abouts u get that fancy bottle light up display u had at begging of video
a friend of mine showed me that trick, works pretty good eh☺👍
Good result on the bottle rehabilitation mate 🍺
thank you,its a neat little trick, works real good on foggy car headlights, thats where i got the idea☺ thanks for dropping in👍
That was great. Nice
thanks for checkin it out👍
wow, never would of thought about using clear coat.. cool
its not always perfect but reduces about 80-90% had the idea from clear coating head light covers when I was a auto painter🙂 that stuff makes anything look nice lol
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 ah cool.. i may try it u know :)
Impressive results!! As long as you disclose what you have done if you ever decide to sell any? I don't, so I may give your method a try on some! Thx for the tip! 👍
lol thanks for watching☺ and hope it helps👍
And thanks for the info sounds like that would work going to try it
Hope it works for you👍 it takes away quite a bit of sickness, usually 80%, was just treating some yesterday
Good job 👍✌🍀
Thanks🙂 it works quite well, and can be removed with varsol if need be, thanks for watching History looker 7
Nice finds
thank you Naomi's Adventures🙂👍
Nuce video very informative.
thanks🙂
yeah, man... that worked really well ! I would think that it should work for a fairly long time provided that the bottle isn't sitting in direct sunlight for years. I'm not sure, but it's quite likely that there's a more malleable clear coat designed to last longer in sunlight... perhaps an outdoors or exterior variety. 👍🤠
A second look and I see that the clear coat you're using is UV resistant. Good call ! 👍😂
the automotive urethane clear coat (2 part) would stay nice in sun or not for 20+ years, I used to spray cars, and dull headlight covers, when clear coated looked brand new, thats where i got the idea☺ but the sickness was coming back without the varsol treatment..
right on... I gotta get a can and give it a shot. Thanks for the tip, brother
no problem Kevin☺hope it makes a ugly bottle come up to the front of the display, rather than hiding in the back lol
Hey i've seen you comment on Kevin's channel maybe others, didn't know you had one. I subbed. This is a great idea and if it peals or turns color you can always use stripper or acetone and do it again! ✌👽
Thanks Jeff👍 have used this method on many of my displayed bottles and no flake or yellowing as of yet🙂 thanks very much for subscribing
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 cool... i have tons of sicko purple cali desert glass i'm anxious to try it on!
the results of spraying the exterior of the bottles is quite impressive👍👍
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 yeah being a cabinet maker for years It crossed my mind but never did it. All the lacquer and poly i sprayed on cabinets and furniture restoration. makes sense because the sick glass is porous and gives it a foot to stick. 👍
Hello good job 😄👍🏼
hello there☺ thanks for watching
Dumb question maybe, but is the clearcoat recommended for colored bottles as well? I have an aqua 1890s soda I want to try this on.
It would work fine, and it is soluble with varsol if it dosen't fit the look, let me know how it works out
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 Thanks. Will give it a whirl. I've tried a few other suggestions, but there is still a stubborn film inside this bottle in places.
@@DforDelinquent it may not erase everything but will add much clarity, can apply inside or outside
Nice frostilla bottle.. and another bottle.. great...
thanks for watching☺ have to catch up on some of your content, been too busy👍
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 ya, I'm busy 2 weeks,.. maybe tomorrow 5p.m saturday will be upload a new bdeo..
The terrarium glass (on the inside) could use a (Acrylic) Clear Coat after cleaning with the paint thinner. Might it cause harm to soil and plants, I wonder.. Thanks.
Once the acrylic is well dried cured, I would not see it causing much harm as the product it is water based. If you were consuming the plants I would not reccomended this :) thank you very much for commenting
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 thanks for the response and the humour. 😁 Have a great evening, Sir.
Won't the clear coat turn yellow over time? Interesting concept
If you left it in direct sunlight for years and years maybe, but product has a uv resistant agent to retard this process. What gave me the idea was I used to spray headlight covers on cars, makes them look brand new again. If you soak in varsol, product comes off with ease in the case of re-doo's👍 it's not permanent
For people who do not sell their bottles, this is ok. But for someone who plans to retail, I find it a bit deceiving. Great look in the end.
absolutely, just as I mentioned in the video :) thanks for watching
