NOT REALLY!!! JUST A JOKE!!!!

But, I did get you to read my thread. :skeezy

My question is:

When using muratic acid to clean something (an empty tank in this case), is there anything I should or shouldn't do? Will it damage the silicone seals. It has scale on the glass that vinegar and/or scraping will just not get out. Any suggestions? (Other than "Go to h&*!" for posting a topic like that! )
Thanks,
John
