... like, why not look it up yourself: http://www.encyclopedia.com/searchpool.asp?target=muriatic
and if this was a 911 attempt, it's too late by now.
Research paper due in a few hours or a stoner can't spell LSD? What? Why the urgency?

We sell that stuff at the HD. It's by far the most dangerous chemical we sell. We have policies to store it outside due to the fact that if it spills, the vapors can kill people.
For as little of it as we sell, I wouldn't be opposed to just not carrying it.

That must be very concentrated. Is it pure HCL then? The stuff I played with in chem classes was pretty harmless.

It's VERY concentrated. A drop of the stuff on your hands starts to sting within about 30 seconds.

I was concrete etching the garage. I googled till my head was throbbing looking for what the hell Muriatic Acid was, and it was just after I replied to Mud that FINALLY Hydrocloric Acid popped up.
Concrete etching sucks.
Boy was I stoned.
But now, I can paint my garage floor. :)
ps. Did you know that power spraying the garage floor can be fun?
ps. WEAR GLOVES AND A MASK WHEN USING MURATIC ACID!!
oh, and Billy - I'm not going to murder anyone...yet.
And yes: BAD BARBIE! :p

I've always been a hater of the colored fonts.
It is bad because people use different themes. Different themes have different background colors.
Standard color rules your dome.

I bought mine (for $5.00) from RONA (Revy) - competitor to HD in Calgary - Sorry!!!
anyway - customer service lady said that it was the only "cleaner" that had to be under clock and key. It's not available just off the shelf..
And powerful isn't the word.
concentrated isn't the word.
that shit is strong - I could watch the concrete being "eaten"

I hear ya.
I don't want to use white or black, because you don't know who has those backgrounds and then the comments area looks blank.
so you can read the blue fine?
Cruise! What's going on??? :p

The font color is fine.
Cruise, just left click and drag the text (it makes it white).
P-mahnn, shut up. :D

what those who complain about font colors need to upgrade is their eyes, not their monitor(s).

I'm thinkin' it was the glare from my window. Now that it's dark I can read it just fine. And Uber's right, I need to upgrade.
Please be careful with the acid...... I don't like my womenz full o' holes.
