Remember that this stuff is basic(alkaline) and to neutralize it you
need to use an acid(vinegar is easiest). OJ or apple juice of course
will work too, but probably the sticky mess won't be too pleasant.
Rinse with water when done.
Metal Prep is usually phosphoric acid which would work also, but
usually concentrated sol'n so use caution.
The bases tend to burn the skin even more than the acid as these ones
(oven cleaners) are strongly basic, but these acids(vinegar, etc) are
weak acids so will neutralize the bases but will not burn the skin.
Cover up!!
