Removing unwanted splashed tin coating from outside of antique copper tea kettle  

++++++

Recently purchase a nice antique dove tailed copper tea kettle. However, it has a big ugly appearance problem. Sometime long ago it appears someone did a very sloppy retining of it's interior. Question: How do I get the messy tin off exterior copper's surface? Thanks for any help!

Try mixture of 1 part water/1 part Muriatic Acid [link is to product info at Amazon] (conc.), 65 C temp.

Good luck!
