Welcome to us.

I hope you have tested the fume hood well.

The fumes and gases from refining do not play well with metals in the garage.
Tools, nails and machines will rust/corrode in no time.
That is besides beeing toxic.

Fume hood works really well . Have tested it fully

thank you

As important as a good hood is storage of chemicals, both new, and spent in airtight containers. Improper storage can eat shop tools as quickly as unventilated reactions.

Top of the Morning Bobby from across the drink!

Take a look at scrubbers. Nothing fancy is necessary for the hobbyist but the neighborhood kids would appreciate it.

Hello, I can't remember where I read here about separating certain chemicals separate. Something about oxidizing chemicals and something dropping out chemicals( I don't think this is what it was called). Can you look at my picture of the chemicals I have and if this is safe? Thank you so much. Rick

The hydrochloric acid will start attacking that steel cabinet. Once you open the hydrochloric container just once....it will continue to corrode for a long time.
