[QUOTE="Mike Marsupial, post: 391376, member: 11868"] I had a lot to do with sulphuric acid years ago when I was in the automotive battery game. lololol lots of workers in that game get around with lots of holes in their clothing, which can be good in summer. Contrary to what most people think, at 30~30% (as found in batteries) it is pretty harmless - unless you're silly enough not to wash it off within a couple of minutes. We never worried too much about the stuff - we worried more about all the lead. lolol I remember drinking some from a fresh bottle (no lead in there) to show someone it wouldn't kill me on the spot as they thought it would. Tastes a bit like lemon juice or sticking your tongue on the terminals of a 9v battery. Also remember marvelling at being able to see all the veins in my hands so clearly when I was cleaning some printing screens in a bathtub with straight bleach. lolololol Veins are pretty easy to see if a good amount of skin is gone!
