Agreed on the first one staying as is. Too much character could be lost.

That's awesome that they turned out so good! Digging for rocks is great.

Those cleaned up great!  What was your ratio on the Iron Out to water? |

What was your ratio on the Iron Out to water? I used whatever the bottle said for exterior surfaces. I think it was 1 cup per gallon. Most of them soaked for about 48 hours, but a few stubborn ones (mostly not pictures) needed about double that time. As a completely unscientific way of telling if there was still enough Iron Out in the water, I smelled it and while I could still smell the fumes, it was way weaker than when I started. So I added another 1/4 cup to the tub after the initial 48 hours. |

I looked on my bottle, and I only saw ratios listed for toilet bowls...or at least that's all I remember seeing. LOL Your "unscientific" approach is the same method I'd use! LOL |
