Good info Sam. I have a large steel building workshop and would
hate to see the panels rusting because of a stupid mistake. I
guess if I stored my etchant in a plastic bottle like the muriatic
acid bottle, and then put it inside of a 5 gallon bucket with a
lid on it I may be ok? Or just use a different etchant. I have a
bunch of expensive machines that I would like to keep rust free.
Maybe I need to build a small wooden shed just for this kind of
thing. Or one of those plastic sheds. :)
Thanks

1: Your paranoia is warranted. imho.?
I too embarked on a DIY Etching setup which included the whole
buffet of parts chemicals and storing them.
?After storing the chemicals in a explosion proof cabinet. +/- 6
months later? rust started to appear in the cabinet.
quite a bit of rust. While in my scenario Im not to happy that my
once pristine cabinet in now full of surface rust. I am happy?
that its not my machines or the both of them! If you have valuable
rust free machines? invest in storing the caustic chems properly.
