I dug up the original posting, so I now know the origin of whatever it was.
I would check what the original prescription was, if I were you! If it
contained HCl at all, its concentration was a lot lower than 2%. I make
it about 0.018 molar acid, or (if HCl), 0.07% or so.
Get some from a hardware store, and dilute it yourself! That way,
you will know what you are getting. :)
Always add acid to water, and wear glasses.
