Just be careful when you're using it. It's quite strong acid. Read all
the precautions for the Promain acid, and follow them. Wear rubber
boots, rubber gloves (Marigolds?) and goggles or better, a full face
visor. If you get any on your skin, rinse it off immediately. Don't be
cavalier with it. Keep the kids/pets indoors.


Keep it far away from zinc, steel, iron, tools, ...

The hydrochloric acid fumes will cause rust and corrosion, and will spread.

Fortunately the only metal is an oil pipe and roller doors, and
ventilation is fairly easy.
