HCl is hydrochloric acid (used to dissolve steel), HF is hydrofluoric acid, which is used to dissolve silica from the steel residue. HF is also used to etch glass, it is really nasty stuff. It attacks calcium (bone, finger nails, etc), so you have to be very careful using it. I will have others helping me with the HF, and will be 'well dressed' for it!!

Fortunately, with poli sci, I'm not likely to get injured

So long as you stay away from all those liberal peace activist types. Things tend to get kind of violent at their protests.

Wow. I don't do very well with science things. I got those courses out of the way early on and haven't looked at it since.

Oh, I like to argue with them. It's funny.
