Custom ferric chloride tank construction?

I am building an etching tank (4' X 8' X 3.5") that will be fiberglassed. I am looking for a resistant fasteners that can withstand the ferric chloride ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] . I am thinking of wooden dowling the inner frame together but I was wondering if there is a metal screw that can withstand ferric chloride ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] . Have anyone done an acid tank of this size, and if so could you give me some pointers.

Very few and exotic metals can withstand ferric chloride ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] and I doubt you will get screws made of any of them. Think in terms of plastics or isolation of metal to absolutely avoid contact with the FeCl.
