Sawing that thing without being caught is hard. So, about that xanthan and muriatic paste, what kind of gloves should I use for protection?

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Nitrile gloves, thicker the better. It will break them down but it will take a while. The fumes are chlorine gas, but aren't that bad if you're outside. What you really have to watch out for is getting it in your eyes, wear goggles.

Baking soda will neutralize it, so you might want a gallon of water and some baking soda on hand. It will burn your skin if you leave it on you, but it takes a minute and you have time to just wash it off.

Paint brush would be a good way to apply it.

Nitrile, thickness ½ mm, should last you about an hour.
