you could hold onto it for years until you finally don't need it, then
have to find out how to get rid of it.


fun uses:

de-galvanize steel. This part is useful if you weld.

etch/whiten concrete

burn holes in clothing

Read Saddam's memoirs.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

I would not get a barrel of acid, but I use hydrochloric acid to
remove rust from iron and remove concrete spatter. Works well.

It will be damn hard to make it precipatte. It'l just be salt water.
Have to evaporate it to get salt.

On the other hand it is great to get rid of mill scale on hot rolled.
I've been doing a lot of that before milling peices. That scale is
murder on a cutter.
