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! Gloria Bowman - Overland Park, Kansas ++++++ Try mixture of 1 part water/1 part muriatic acid [linked by editor to product info at Amazon] (conc.), 65 C temp. Good luck!
