As long as you also have a supply of calcium gluconate you might be OK.
I am always amazed that it is sold to hobbyists for glass etching.

My old H.S. chemistry professor ( Dr. Welch ) kept a bottle of
hydrofluoric acid under his desk in a wax bottle of unknown quality.
That was an interesting removal...

The guy the lived there (had died recently I think) was a chemist at the
University of Utah.
His wife found a spill of mercury and asked for help in safely removing
it. As a result they found over 500 containers of chemicals and very very
old dynamite. Totally a no win situation.
You might have been able to soak it in diesel and built a small electric
kiln over it to incinerate in place. But monday morning quarterbacking.

Boom!
In Holladay, Utah, authorities were summoned to a home on April 23 to
advise a homeowner on how to dispose of “a lot” of explosives, including
“ancient dynamite” that had been in the family for “generations and
generations.” Capt. Tony Barker of the Unified Fire Authority said the
collectors did not appear to have malicious intent. KUTV reported that
multiple agencies descended on the home, where it was determined that
they would have to conduct a controlled explosion.
Of course, that's just EAST Utah. Right Chuck?
