Worked around lots of it. Didn't much like the stuff, but I could live with
it by being aware of where I was and what I was doing. Some of the guys
started saying that the stuff must be bad for you because it burned so much
and there was always a mist in the air around the test bench. So the company
rep came to UAL SFO and drank a shot of Skydrol in front of us. Now that
impressed me.
