If this stuff has hydrofluoric acid in it; keep it off your skin.  Even if
you wash off all the acid with water (it only takes about 3 minutes with a
water flush) the fluorine ions left behind are looking for calcium.  They
absorb it from your tissues, and a bad enough spill on skin can cause heart
arrhythmias (plus it hurts like hell even after the acid has been flushed
from your skin.).
