| Q |
Are there any special use precautions? |
| A |
Corro Dip is safer to use than most (all?) other rust removers - just use sensible precautions. You can reach in to the bath with your bare hands to pick out your item, but do wash your hands afterwards or some staining may occur. Store the diluted mixture in an airtight container (with the lid on!) as this is safer around the home and the product lasts longer this way. If you do get it in your eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water. Corro Dip is non-flammable, non-hazardous, non-caustic, non-toxic and safe to use. |
