I've used it for years. I've got a bronze step from a gangway off the Llewellyn Howland in the sidewalk of my home. Muriatic Acid did a great job on that and the sidewalk!

While you have the acid out....take a new penny ..sand off the copper on the sides...drop it in the acid ..the zinc in the middle will dissolve ...leaving a thin front and back of copper penny....Kids love it! P.s. at least you use your hard worked for salvage.....I have a front end of a Model T I salvaged from a lake in N.H. sitting in the bushes of my back yard.....whop de do for all the work?

Did anybody dive today Saturday 28th? I'm thinking of diving Beavertail Sunday night. What conditions did you find if you dove?

I'm curious about the water temp. It's not really been a warm spring/summer thus far.
I use the Newport station as a reference. Showing around 61-62. New England Dive shop Wallingford CT hosting one of their picnics at the end of the month at Ft W. If the temps get a little higher I may head out there. Temp website: NDBC - Station NWPR1 I dove in Lake Q this morning and temps are 5-10 cooler than normal for this time of year.

All the reports I see on the other sites I visit are showing hi 50's low 60's. As the Gulf Stream moves west it'll get warmer at FTW and Newport, it'll still be cold at the North Shore of MA! I had 53F at 37fsw at Ft Adams east passage (across from FTW) 2 weeks ago.
