Boy, you've got guts! I use goggles, rubber gloves and a gas mask.

That way I can watch what I'm doing and not breath in fumes. It only

takes me a minute to put them on and take them off, and I guess I'd

rather be safe than sorry.

OT: when he started teaching, they went into the chemical closet at the

school, (kids were not present) to clean out the retiring teacher's

chemicals

and take inventory....they found Picric Acid, which in it's liquid form is

ok...but this had crystalized..in that form it is a level four explosive!

They had to evacuate the school and all the houses for 1/2 mile because it

could have vaporized everything if jostled! Hazmat wouldn't touch it, the

Military bomb squad had to dispose of it...good thing he didn't just throw

it

in the trash! Sorry...I just had to tell that:)

Take care:)
