Why read the SDS
Every product defines health risk, recommended PPE (gloves, eye protection, respirator for strong vapors), and first aid. For acids and strong alkaline cleaners, the SDS is authoritative — not internet forums.
Temperature and drying
- Hot panels accelerate reactions — higher etch and run/stain risk.
- Never let active chemistry dry on paint or glass.
- Shade or studio bays make work more predictable.
Runoff and surrounding materials
Prevent concentrated chemistry running onto unprepared surfaces (matte plastics, unmasked transitions). Keep water ready for dilution/neutralization and dry towels accessible.
Responsibility
Home application is at your own risk. Move complex steps to a certified studio — see full decontamination protocol — DIY vs studio.
