Wayne,
My plan is, if I have to stop before completion, stop on the wet carding of the barrels step after the chemical etching bath step. After wet carding I will move to a warm water bath of distilled water and Sodium Bicarbonate to neutralize any acids remaining, let set for an hour, rinse with hot water then force dry with a heat gun.
Then I will run wood dowels through the barrels, making sure a couple inches stick out on both sides, so I can suspend them on wood blocks on my bench and drape with a de-greased plastic bag to keep dust off.
To start back up, I may or may not wipe down with acetone.
If you are interested I have put together a procedure on how to do the barrels specifically with Pilkingtons. I can send it to by email.
