The bucket started to bubble (or boil, we are not sure) and a
noxious brown cloud that smelt like rotten eggs permeated our shop gagging
everybody present. We were tempted to call a hazmat team but decided to
deal with the problem ourselves. We didn't have gas masks so we had to
reenter the shop with wet towels over our faces, put the bucket outside and
open the windows. Once we felt it was safe to go near the bucket we dumped
out the contents on the driveway and hosed everything down. What we found
was that this stuff not only removed the calcite but also etched the
meteorites from the outside and ate a large hole in the driveway.

Now I don't feel quite so wussy for asking advice on how best to dispose of some nitric a couple of weeks ago.....;-)
