What am I doing wrong the white distilled vinegar + steel wool?
I tried the White Distilled Vinegar and a Steele Wool pad #0000, and let it sit for 3 days, and it did not change the color one bit. The vinegar in jarwas like clear water. I did exactly they way the video explained. I left it sitting out in the garage, but would the temperature have anything to do with it. I have the second batch going, and after a day, it hasn'tchanged the color any. What am I doing wrong???? I have a project that I need to do, and this is holding me up.
