"you dont want to get sulfuric acid on your skin" proceeds to handle it with zero PPE smh

"... this is a mixture of sulfuric and phosphate acid, if you fell in it would burn you severely..." (while showing a 20 year old kid precariously balancing himself above it)

Loved that they clarified the 21 year old owner...took over from his father.

26:30 I worked at a electroplating company when I was 18 and my friend fell into the tank as they said it isn’t good.. when we pulled him from the tank and removed his shoes and socks his skin peeled off in the same manner as his socks . It was a brutal lesson
