Subject: Re: Toronto source of HCl

Twenty-five litres? I thought 5 litres would be a life-time supply! I
haven't adjusted the cupric choride I have in the big picnic cooler
since I made the solution, and I have made lots of boards in it since,
but it seems to be slowing, so it's time to check the density and
titrate to determine acidity level.

How the heck am I going to use 25 litres, do you imagine?
