and to think, in the 80s we could buy it at any auto store. i bet i prayed it on wheels monthly back then. now i didnt get it on me, didnt taste it lol.Never heard of anyone dying from absorbing hydrofluoric acid? Any articles?

the blaster sent me some pics, hes glass bead blasted the backs, wow they look good now. not shiny, but clean. as i expected.
of course sir, but still, how long until they are safe to handle? stretching on tires is not exactly gentle.Put them out in the sun to accelerate the cure.
