[T3] Quick! What neutralizes battery acid?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I think it's baking soda, but I want to be sure before I start dumping the
stuff in.

Here's the scenario: I finally cast off the old, rotten, acid-ravaged
floorpan, and found another '67 squareback to use the remainder of my old
'67 parts on. Best part about the new car: Solid floorpan. Black paint from
end to end.

So, I towed it home, left it for a week, and went out to look at it today,
since I'm home early and all, and guess what?

Yep. The battery cracked and leaked all over the **&^$&*^((^%^  thing.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I've torn out the carpets and the tarboards in the affected areas, and
soaked the excess liquid up, but it's seeping into the seam between the
battery partition and the floorpan. That's where the rot caused the major
damage in the old car.

Will POR-15 seal it all up and neutralize it? I have some ready to go in the
garage.
Baking soda?
Oil?
Pepto Bismol?


Ack! Help!
