?? Ok, good info. So if I do my etching under my 24x24x14 carport outside, I should be good and the carport should escape rusting too. I think I can rest easy on the rust thing now as I have enough info on how not to be careless. I have to also realize I am a noob and have to design stuff to etch. Or download other peoples stuff to etch I probably won't be etching all of the time to worry about it.
It will be ok outside.
Getting etchant on jeans will cause holes to appear after a wash, so don't be sloppy. Have clean water nearby if an eyewash is needed.
Don't suck the stuff through a tube or the calcium on your teeth will dissolve.
