Muriatic acid is made up of 50% HCl (hydrochloric acid) and 50% water. Diluting it with water is fine.

Between the muriatic acid and the acid flux that is used to clean the screen material, will water dilute the acid good enough to stop its reaction or should you use something like soda to counteract it? One responder said not to use water but to just blow it off with compressed air. Won't the acid continue to eat away at the material?
