Okay. It sounded like that kind of situation. I've been there in my
life, too, so I can feel your pain.

If there doesn't appear to be _any_ sulfuric acid inside, then I don't
hold out much hope here. But best luck, anyway.

NaOH is a solid. White, and kind of slippery to the touch. But
sulfuric acid is a liquid. I've used it, before, as part of a double
boiler situation that could achieve the higher melting points I needed
at the time while also providing very, very even heating which was
also necessary for the rocket fuel I was making then.
