You don’t soak it in the liquid but in/on a raised platform inside of a closed container with a small amount of vinegar in the bottom.

Can you make wedges with Coke?
YEs, if you practice and know what you're doing, you can make nice looking wedges. However, as a hobby machinist and metalworker, the simplistic summary that you've provided has some issues and leaves out lots of details. First off Coke may be acidic but will take a long time to remove chrome (if ever) and the torch will oxidize the finish if heated too hot, you need to heat without oxygen to get a good finish. Heating too much will harden/anneal the club so be careful there.

Can you use coke to remove chrome from a wedge?
The method for oil caning a wedge will only work on a raw wedge, coke will take off the original oil can finish but will not take chrome off. There is really no acid out there that will take chrome off properly and give you a nice looking wedge at home, it can be professionally done where I believe they generally use electricity and some form of acid. But this is not an at home type of job. Coke is great if you want to remove an oil can finish from a wedge or if you want to clean up the rust on one.
