Ah. That makes sense. I may wind up going that way yet. On another
issue, I wonder if there's any way to "soak up" the bubbled off
hydrogen. For example, if there were some common household chemical
that freely dissolved large amounts of hydrogen, maybe you could soak
a rag in it and drape it over the bucket.

Well, you can use manganese dioxide (it's the black stuff in "dry cells"
BTW, for exactly that purpose), but that would be a rather lot more
inconvienient than just letting it vent. Platinum catalyst might do it, but
you need just as much, only it costs 5000 times more (count on a few pounds
of powdered Pt). You got hydrogenophobia or somethin?? It dissipates way
faster than is ever flammable y'know.
