I mixed mine in my etchant tank which I constructed out of 3/16" plexiglass solvent welded together, but I've seen people use the narrow rectangular plastic juice pitchers that have snap on lids. I store the etchant in a plastic bottle which I store in a plastic shopping bag with some baking soda in the bottom in case it somehow leaks.
