My acid wash will already be diluted (1 part acid to 4-6 parts water).

Be sure to add the acid TO the water, not water to acid. *Wrong way =

Reminds me of highschool chemistry class.

Muriatic does not react to water violently, so I would take the
previous posters Bull **** here to bull ****, Muriatic FUMES,
Muriatic eats metal pipe. It wont react to added water as sulfuric
will, I use Muriatic, maybe even tomorrow AM to clean stone.


Muriatic acid can splatter, emit caustic fumes, corrode metal, cause
skin burns and blindness. It contains HCl, one of the strongest
acids. If diluted properly (adding acid TO the water), it becomes
less hazardous. Not a wise idea to have a bottle of it laying around.
