Etching tanks for mild steel using nitric acid  

++++

I am studying an M A in metalwork at the Royal Collage of Art and am interseted in etching mild steel. I am working on a fairly large scale (70cm x 40cm flat sheet) and would like to know if there is anywhere I could purchase a vertical etching tank in which I could use nitric acid. I am using plastic trays at the moment in a fume cabinet but these take up too much space and take to long to etch in. I would appreciate any advice in this area.
