[RE-wrenches] Acid containment

[Chris Worcester]

Hi Bill,
If you dabble in fiberglass, we had a client do his own layup in a plywood
battery box, it worked well.

Fellow Wrenches,

        I just called Tap Plastics hoping they would solve my problem of
battery acid containment within a plywood battery box.  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.

        I've used those individual battery boxes from an auto parts store
(~$12/each) but they take up more space than just the batteries.  Has anyone
ever used ice dam underpayment, like Grace? Better idea?

Thanks for any advice,

Bill
