Hey All,
You can also try going to your local hardware/pool supply store and pick up some pool-cleaning acid. It's used to raise the ph of swimming pools. It usually runs for under $10 a gallon. I recently used some on a small nantan (bought for the experiment) and it ate all of the shale off in
Of course, the down side of using fluoridated compounds is that they can

For those of y'all who subscribe to Discover magazine, they had one of
their Vital Signs articles about a hydrofluoric acid burn a few years

not to belittle the hazards of flourine, but let's keep things in
perspective - just because something can kill you doesnt mean it cant be
used
Okay, now I know that I can't procure concentrated nitric acid without being employed
by an institution of higher learning---unless I want to lie to the suppliers and tell
them I'm a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Anthrax University or something. I'm
no good at lying.

Dear Stan;
My former experience isgo to the local water lab
that samples wells/tests ground water. If you ask politely, one can get
a 1/4 liter of Nitric if you tip the lowly lab tech with a specimen of
meteorite and spend a few moments explaining what an interesting thing
What's a good source for etching compounds, such as concentrated nitric acid? Is a 6m
nitric too heavy for etching? Something lighter, maybe 1m nitric? Thanks for your
replies and suggestions!

Hola,
Concentrated nitric acid is about 16 molar (70%).
You don't want any water you can avoid. It is then diluted (by pouring acid into
alcohol) down to 1 molar (16:1 vol/vol), but in quotes because that should be with
anhydrous, or 95% minimum ethyl alcoholI usually consider molar as in

Hello List,
This topic reminds me of the Magic Cleaning Potion we purchased from a
hippie at the Denver show last year. We figured it was a combination of
