Where can I buy Muriatic Acid? What type of store? Is it a cleaning product?
Ed
Lowes,Home Depot, almost any hardware store. I think its used most when cleaning masonry.

I find it in the paint section of most hardware stores-same place you find mineral spirits. Even my neighborhood True Value store carries it in gallon plastic bottles. Usually listed as muriatic acid-hydrochloric acid 32%Quote:

How do you like the ColorQ? Is it worth picking one up? Accurate?

My wife went to Home Depot today so I asked her to pick up some Muriatic Acid.... She got a little concerned when she saw "Caustic Substance" on the label and found out that it is a controlled substance and could only by one box. I had no idea it was a controlled substance... Why is it controlled?

Lowe's and Home Depot ran just under $10 for 2 1-gallon jugs of the 32% stuff.
Found out that my local farm-and-ranch store also carries it in the same concentration for about $2 for 1 gallon...a savings of over 50%! I found it in their plumbing section.

I am getting robbed by my True Value guy...$5.50 a gallon.
I live in Canada, and also had problems finding it in the more popular hardware stores, Home Depot didn't even carry it.
I found it at the TSC hardware stores.
Canadian Tire also has it in the paint department.Quote:
