Maybe you could find a place where you could permanently store your etching
container, filled.
I put mine in a plastic box that can catch all the etchant (in case of a
spill), and covered the whole thing with another plastic box of the same
dimensions, as a lid. Keeps the dust out. The etchant container itself has a
cover too. None of the covers are air tight, but that doesn't seem to be a
problem. Keeping air exchange down with some kind of lid is enough.
