[meteorite-list] Etching Compounds

[PeterUtas at aol.com]

Hey All,
You can also try going to your local hardware/pool supply store and pick up 
some pool-cleaning acid.  It's used to raise the ph of swimming pools.  It 
usually runs for under $10 a gallon.  I recently used some on a small nantan 
(bought for the experiment) and it ate all of the shale off in less than a day.  If 
you try this, make sure to put the acid in a well ventilated place, as it 
tends to make a strong sulfur-like smell as it works.  It should etch slices 
fairly well.  
Anyone else try this stuff?
Jason
