Or neither.. > Good morning Jai Polyethylene is a plastic, impervious to almost all chemicals. It what most of the household containers such as wash basins, icebox storage containers, etc., are made of. When I had my PC board shop I had large 7-gallon tanks of polythylene for sulfuric acid pre-clean, electroless copper, plating and etchant. You won't need tanks near that big. A helpful method of heating is to just place your etchant tank in a larger container filled with very hot water.
