Default Re: Nickel plating turning blue?

I had a piece in the shop do that a while back. I don't know exactly why but I attributed it to the hydrochloric acid I had in the near area. The HCL has since been relocated to glass jugs and stored in another shed all together. I haven't had the problem since.

I had a similar problem with the plastic jugs of HCL gassing and rusting metal. I should have known to relocate it out of the shop again but I got lazy.
