We happened to have everything we needed on hand, so we gave it a go. After consulting a few youtube videos, it didn&#8217;t seem to be a precise science, so we filled an old 32 oz. yogurt container about 3\/4 full of white vinegar and put a couple pieces of steel wool in to soak for a couple days. Then we just brushed it on with an old paint brush.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1526\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" alt=\"crate3\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate3-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate3.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1527\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" alt=\"crate4\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate4-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate4-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.lostforest.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/crate4.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>It took a few minutes to react, but it turned out pretty well.
