i have never messed with things inside of the darkroom, however, as for
liquid etching-related things, i may or may not have seen such things and
put them in a milk crate labelled appropriately that is now on the floor of
the shop near other labelled milk crates.  Also, there is a parts bin near
the other labelled parts bins containing nothing but knobs of various
shapes and sizes that I created.  It also happens to be my favorite parts
bin for some unknown reason.
