Muratic acid and Naval Jelly work pretty well , but vinegar is safe and cheap. Stronger acids like Muratic or Naval Jelly call for alot more saftey gear and paying alot more attention. Spilled or splashed Vinegar is no big deal, but just one drop of Nitric acid on your arm and you ARE going to the emergency room. Strong Acids Are No JOKE !
Be Safe ! Use Saftey goggles AND face shields, Aprons, long sleeves, double up those latex gloves and above all
PAY ATTENTION !
Keep lots of Eyewash, Clean water and Baking Soda handy and If your using extra strong acids, Amonia can save your life incase of a spill.
