Why does the bottom not dissolve as well?

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Aluminum forms a hard oxide layer when exposed to air. This is what the buffing removed. With it, the can wouldn't have reacted.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

I believe the barrier here was actually the paint, including the bottom's clear coat.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's possible that the coating would have some kind of effect like that, but I'd wager that the oxide layer was the important bit.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It still has the protective layer

If it went flat, it would be because the co2 could dissipate through the bag. Not sure how fast that would happen.

there is a lot of volume in the bag for the gas to dissipate into. i think it would happen faster than half a bottle stanting up 1/2
