OOWER! Mercuric Chloride. A good constituent for rusting solutions if you want speed or live in an exceedingly dry atmosphere. Exceedingly toxic to us humans also cumulative in the body. Looking at the formula using Mercuric Chloride there is no Alcohol sometimes this can be listed as "Spirit of Nitre" rather than high percentage Alcohol in many formulas, because it gives the formula a rather nice Ethereal smell. The reason I am pointing this out is Mercuric Chloride does not freely dissolve in water. So if included in a water only formula it will just be an inactive sediment on the bottom of the bottle.
