just because you don't see algea doesn't mean it's not there.

Muriatic Acid - Leaked in Car Trunk

by Vanoxis » Thu 18 May, 2006 08:19

First post

Any suggestions as to how to neutralize the acid and remove the smell from my trunk liner?

Thank in advance

Curt

Last post

add chlorine to it.

Excellent idea, and depending on which chlorine he tries it may ignite and/or cause an explosion and/or produce toxic fumes.

FREE CHLORINE

by Kim » Tue 19 Jul, 2005 19:08

First post

What exactly is free chlorine? Is that what's in the SHOCK or the tablets that my floating duck holds?

Last post
