joytron Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Dont use vinegar, my vase is now frostless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 In a bad or good way? I'm assuming bad... I ask because if it CLEANLY stripped the frost (meaning it looks good now, not shitty), then that would be ideal for a lot of people, myself included, because some people are not a fan of frost on bohos. It sounds like yours didn't strip off cleanly, though. I dunno, is there even a way to cleanly strip off frost? I don't think so. At least, I've never heard of anyone doing it.

joytron Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah after soaking it for longer it started to take all the frost off and now it looks like a plain vase, unfortunately its hard to keep the gold from coming off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChildoftheHorn Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Did you use almost pure vinegar because that is close to stomach acid. Koasher Salt + lemon juice will clean, but not strip! Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I filled a bowl with vinegar and some water and let it soak, came back to clean it off and all the frosting came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeetsak Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 i used a perfect mix of three to one. three water and one vinegar. i bleached the spot. wiping it down with 5050 simple green and water cleaned the outside pretty well. still some spots but very minimal do not use vinegar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Chris, get in TC and I will show you the vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 So I saw it in TC... sucks. Stripped it completely clean except for where the gold is because he didn't have that part submerged in the vinegar. There are still some remnants of the frost around the gold parts. Only options are try to (meticulously) remove the remaining frost around the gold so the gold is not damaged any further, or strip it completely clean and have a clear boho.

mattarios2 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 i wish i could take the frost off the jumbo og design and my fish scale vase while maintaining all the gold. So you think if you use a q tip and vinegar you could get it off or it has to soak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure it would have to sit for a while to get it off, and it looks really horrible when its not completely removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah that is what i figured ... damn frost. The scale vase would look so much cooler w o frost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
