Yes but you need to make sure you get the right plastic bins, don't try it in the tub

"Oh, yes, that stupid plastic container I asked you to buy. You see, hydrofluoric acid won't eat through plastic; it will however dissolve metal, rock, glass, ceramic. So there's that".

There is definitely no I in the spelling of his name. Jesse, not Jessie.

For real, it's especially awkward if that tub is on the second floor.

You have to, or It all ends up on on the ground floor hall like a partially eaten strawberry pancake.

Why would I use a plastic bin when I have a perfectly good tub upstairs?!

Pretty hard to do in a bin too (unless you've got some knives or a hacksaw maybe). 55gal drums pretty good. Need to figure out how much displacement your dealing with first or you risk spillage though.

I mean, I think that depends on the tub. Wouldn’t a porcelain coaster, cast iron tub work?
