It is caustic stuff.

Oh oh. I didn't realize it was 'that' caustic! I'm not mixing lime per
se ... so I wonder if it's that caustic, for me?

Maybe I should wear rubber boots instead of sneakers?

Anyway, another lesson I hadn't mentioned was my jeans split all along
the butt! My pants fit loosely. They are not tight at all. Yet, somehow,
they STILL managed a foot-long split from all the bending & lifting!

A 5 gallon bucket with water / vinegar mixture (~10:1) standing by to
rinse your hands occasionally & lower skin pH.
