Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Storing Muriatic Acid & Hydrogen peroxide

From: Stefan Trethan <stefan_trethan@...>

Strong HCL (or was it H2O2?) will damage HDPE in the long run. The
plastic becomes brittle from the inside.
So if you are thinking long term (5+ years) use a glass container.

Mind that the H2O2 in the mixture will give off oxygen long after
using it, any glass container should have a pressure relief lid.
