I have a scar on my left hand that is a reminder of the dangers of that. I am not sure if it was something else in the acid that caused it to burn

bicarbonate spray (before running to the faucet and letting cool water run on my hand for a minute or so.
So I must beg your pardon, but I will need to take caution with all material.
