What they say

Hide

Once I know my sprayer is functioning properly, I'll be begin adding the acid. I got my acid here all ready to go. Got my safety glove. These are solvent rubber gloves right here. Definitely want to have some gloves on, your eye protection on. I've gotten moratic acid in my eyes before and it hurts pretty bad. So, you don't want to get it in your eyes. You want to wear protection. And I'm just I got just a little bit of water. I probably got about two quarts of water in this two gallon sprayer. Now begin adding my acid in here. It's got a little plastic seal that you're going to want to break on here. And be really careful pouring it in. You don't want it to splatter on your If you get it on your clothes, it'll eat your clothes up, too. What I've done with these containers, I'm going to rinse these containers out really good and then I'll dispose of them. Just going to add a little bit more water here. Once I start applying the acid, if it's not eating the concrete enough, then I'll pour more acid in here so it won't be so diluted. Now, I'm going to begin the process of spraying the acid. I want to have a hose at my ready with inside this garage in case anything goes wrong or I need to rinse any of the acid away and get it, you know, out of here quickly. And if I if I'm spraying the acid in here and I walk out on the driveway for some reason I got to go to my vehicle or something to get something and you have acid on your feet, it'll leave footprints out there where it etches the concrete. So you want to, you know, rinse a path where you're actually going.
