Where to buy Muriatic Acid

[CelticDaddio]

Where can I buy Muriatic Acid? What type of store? Is it a cleaning product?

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%

I found mine at Costco last year. 2 gals in a box but I don't remember the price. I get my bleach there too, 2 - 1.4 gals for 5 bucks.

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

Be careful when buying acid. Home Depot near me has recently moved to 14% acid instead of 29% they use to have but did not change the price. This could be just a California thing.

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?

You might try your local Ace Hardware store. Last year we bought it 4 gallons to the case for about 2 bucks a gallon.

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.
