[RE-wrenches] Acid containment

[Benn Kilburn]

Hi Bill, 
Think "spray-on".  Build your box then spray on the liner. 
Have you seen "spray in box liners" for pick up trucks?  It's pretty tough stuff and  I would think that it would be able to hold acid. There are plenty of places, at least around here (Alberta), that do this and I'd also think that you could buy/rent what you need to do it yourself, onsite.

I was surprised by their response that the acrylic was not impervious to acid and polyethylene would not work because sealants nor caulking adhere to it properly.  They did not have anything that would work.
