First etch with muriatic acid

[Meanderthal]

Bad for lungs

Heh- I had forgotten what happens when ya open a drum and get a real good whiff... That'll clear the sinuses...

One piece of advice- when you get a bottle and open it, DO NOT SMELL IT! That would be a mistake. The vapors are straight from hell when concentrated.

He's right about the itch. It just means 'rinse me off', no big deal. Takes a lot to get to itchin' though, more than I could imagine while etching. You'd have to be doing some vigorous etching to splash it all over the place and yourself the way ya do when ya clean brick.

Stone mason, eh? We did a lot of that, and cutting... hammer and cold chisel baby!
