Anyone have any idea what you can do with Hydrochloric Acid when you're done using it? Basically I'm following a line of ideas for aging metal parts and have got a half inch pool of it sat in a plastic tub with a smaller bowl inside that with the lid on the outer tub...Now I'm ready to remove the metal bits from the inner bowl, what the hell do I do from here. Kinda shitting my pants at the minute, don't wanna blow up the street or poison myself or something else horrific! Anyone know what I should do next with the metal bits, im reading stuff like rinsing under fresh water, but will that remove the acid residue properly, and the remaining acid left in the tub, can I simply leave it there for months on end until im ready to do some more or does it lose it's pizazz and become useless. And finally if I do have to get shot of it, what do I do with it?
cheers for any help. Rich

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Some high power drain cleaners contain hydrochloric.
Don't mix it with anything or some really nasty things can happen. For example mix it with toilet duck and you will get chlorine gas which in an enclosed space can kill you.

Would probably work for most acids
