I've only used it once, and it didn't even work.

"Disposal Consideration
Disposal: A moderate amount of product can be flushed down sewer with plenty of water. Flush with water or
neutralize with lime. If a large quantity is being disposed of, comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. No
special spill procedures required"

One of the things Kerry pointed out was that
the manufacturers really downplayed the dangers, it was only when she investigated that she found how dangerous it really was. The MSDS I posted is for a 10% solution of HFA, pretty much exactly what etchall is, the two sheets should be very much the same and the fact that the one for etchall is "milder" should ring alarm bells, that's just not right.
I found the manufacturers site with a little tutorial for etchall showing how to etch a beer glass, no gloves, no eye protection, no mention at all of taking any safety procedures. I wouldn't take the manufacturers advice on the safety of this product at all
Here you go, no gloves, no eye protection
