Subject: Just a friendly reminder to plug your hoses!

Hi guys,

Went out to etch a board this morning only to find my tank empty -
luckily I store it inside a bucket so all was well. The Ferric
Chloride siphoned out through the air hose inlet which passes through
a hole in the side of the tank. Aside from it completely disolving
the brass fitting which connects to my compressor, nothing else bad
happened.

Just make sure to clamp the hose shut and to store your etching tank
inside another vesel to capture the fluids should the main tank have
problems.
