2. Add water to three 5-gallon buckets unl each bucket is approximately 3/4 full.
3. Prepare the soak bucket:
a. Carefully add 12 oz of muriac acid to one of the 5-gallon buckets to create a 1% soluon of muriac acid.
Warning:Always be careful when adding muriac acid to water; this combinaon creates an
exothermic reacon, which gives o heat. Failure to take care may result in serious
injury.
b. Label this bucket "ACID FOR SOAKING" and set it aside so that it will not be knocked over.
4. Prepare the rinse bucket:
a. Carefully add 32 oz of muriac acid to another 5-gallon buckets.
