I used to have to dress up like a rubber fetishist to use tiny amounts for rock digestion. Or maybe the lab supervisor just liked the look of me in arm-length gloves and a huge apron.
The hydrofluoric acid lab roughly speaking above my head (looks like you're not in the same Earth Sciences group as me, judging by your userinfo) is a constant source of fire-alarms.
Being a theoretician, I just walk around hoping no-one's going to accidentally blow me up. Happily, they've not managed yet (clearly they need better aim...)
