Homebrew PCBs

Torin:

You are correct. But here on the Sonoran desert we don't use very
much road salt, but we do use a lot of chlorine and muriatic acid.

In a post to the PCB list, I enclosed a URL where I had uploaded two
photos I took yesterday.

One showed stacks of 2-gallon cartons of muriatic acid in
plastic jugs next to the stacks of dog chow in a local super market.
The other photo showed one and two gallon jugs of muriatic acid
at a local home improvement/garden supply emporium (Home Depot).

In order to view the photos, one would had have to click on the URL,
and I suspect that there is a possibility that a virus or some such
could be propagated in such a manner, thus the message was
screened out.

Some list members had mentioned that it was difficult for them to
obtain chemicals like muriatic acid, and I wanted to illustrate the
wide difference in bureaucratic mindsets in different venues.

Not bragging or boasting..........just a point of wonderment on my part.
What is so common in one area can be so uncommon in another.
