Ahh... shame shame! Wear Eye protection Dude!! One drop and your blind in that Eye! If you get it on your skin, it burns slightly, and you'll know right away but by all means where gloves too. Eye protection is a must. M. Acid is nasty stuff. You should seek another method all together...Remember the fumes are poisonous as well...
