Subject: HDPE container for CuCl etching?

From: "Bob_xyz" <bob_barr@...>

I'm about to start using CuCl for etchant and was wondering if a
plastic container marked "HDPE" (and a "2") would be suitable for
doing the etching. The plastic is fairly thin but I plan to brace it
with a frame around it.

I'd want to store the etchant in the container for an extended period
of time with some sort of a lid.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to how well this type of plastic would
stand up to the CuCl?

Thanks, Bob
