I would suggest the original HCl bottle (or something like it) inside a 5-gallon bucket with a lid, and put a container with some large surface area inside the bucket as well. Any HCl vapour will get neutralised by the baking soda. Check occasionally that you don't need to top it up. (The HCl even gets through the walls of the original bottle, so you will need something to neutralise it nearby.)

After seeing some guys post on leaving his etchant tank out in his shop, and the next day his drill press post was solid rust... I was thinking that I really don't want to mess up my steel building or anything in it. That said, if I use the muriatic/peroxide etchant outside, and then pour it into a sealed container, I should be ok? Or if not if I really want to be sure, what is the best of the other etchants that works the fastest with no worry of rusting my stuff? Or am I being too paranoid?
Thanks
