Was that the metal bucket with the metal lid and came with a basket? Don't know about 30 years ago (1994) but the stuff we had in the late 70's-early 80's would strip the plating off a carb overnight and leave red chemical burns on your skin if you didn't wash it off right away. You could do a couple dozen carbs with the same bucket before it lost it's potency...
