I'm needing to re-etch a sword blade, but have never worked with Ferric Chloride before. I've seen a few You Tube vids and read the instructions. The instructions state to dilute the FC with vinegar before etching. Ok I got that. My questions have to do with finding an appropriate receptacle that I can use to bathe the blade. Being that the FC comes in a plastic bottle I'm assuming that a plastic container is safe. Looking in the local Building supply store i saw a few plastic planters about 30 inches long. Perfect. The only problem is that they have drainage holes in the bottom. Now I can sell those holes, but I'm not certain which adhesives will not be affected by the FC? Anyone know?

Also if I dilute the FC in vinegar, can it be stored again for future projects? If so, what do you use to store it in?
