I have searched and searched through the General New and General forums, thinking surely this question has been answered before, but all I have found is warnings not to store it inside. Actually, that's why I was searching -- I remember seeing a gazillion posts on here warning of the dangers of storing muriatic acid inside the shop, as "even a sealed container" can leak fumes and cause all sorts of rust nightmares.
Unfortunately, I find myself needing to use a small amount of muriatic acid ... and the smallest amount I can buy is 1 gallon. I will use about 1 pint at most, so what do I do with the rest? I surely do not want rust problems!!
The obvious answer seems to be: store it outside -- but I'm concerned about two things. First, how far outside is "safe" for the house? And second, I'm concerned about children investigating or it getting knocked over.
Any suggestions??
