I had best send this apology for my previous missive. It seems that
hydrochloric and muriatic are synonymous. I do know that when we used to
get it for removing scale from large water distilling apparatus, muriatic
acid was much weaker than if we used hydrochloric acid. Perhaps it had to
do with our purchasing agents.
Sorry for the quick trigger finger.
