naaa, its plenty weak enough right out of the bottle hahaha
    Having worked with this chemical, of varying concentrations, the
stuff they are legal to sell across the retail counter?  yeah you're ok

watch your eyes. no kidding watch  yor eyes
gloves are optional at this strength, but hey they're cheap. It takes a
long time to wash it off your skin anyhow.

good 'ol hydrox.  Its like a secret weapon. It has a lot of uses.
  Its about the fastest ph adjuster in a fluid. Acidic fluids have no
chance.
Add a very little hydrox? and just jack that ph back up, I mean now.
Hydrox neutralizes them brutally, goodbye acid.

Its the simplest ingredient of soap.
    yours scott
