The acid will first take on the layer of zinc on the iron.

Today I acquired my Youngman scaffold tower back after lending it to a friend. Returned covered with dried plaster. 
Sad to say, I've decided against lending any of my tools or equipment again.
On a lighter note, I received a parcel with a tin of RTD Compound. 500grams is probably more than I'll ever need, but bit the bullet and bought the smallest tin I could find.

Popped by the local antiques emporium this afternoon, bagged a new old stock in box , never used mitutoyo digimatic caliper, an older model (with the computer output) for £35, a brand new sealed packet Moore and Wright 300mm digital angle guage for £20 and a deep socket flat chisel I'm going to make a longer handle for to use with timber framing. No pic as was in a rush.

Wrexham's only an hour away from Church Stretton, which has one of the best tat shops around.

Well yesterday actually, a nice new incinerator as the old was beyond repair.
Not really ideal for putting acid in. To start with the acid will get neutralised by eating away the galvanised coating, then when the steel is exposed the phosphoric will eat its way out through the thin metal.
You really should only use a plastic or glass container for acids!

Yes, the antiques centre. Lots of interesting stuff (for which read: tools) in a few places on the ground floor; some more sometimes on the first floor and a load of cheap and old tools at the far end of the very top (third?) floor. It's not as a good a selection as the one in Mickleton (which usually has more metalwork tools) or Beer (which has a small, but very, very good selection), but Church Stretton Antiques centre is definitely one of the better ones I've been to.
