There must of been only trace amounts of acid that got into your eye. The
stuff would sting like buggery if a bit directly got into your eye. Think
rubbing fresh chilly in you eye. Its unfortunate that us humans still
prefer to learn from experiences rather than intuition. I remember getting
a cut in my lower eye lid from a flying piece of steel when I was using the
bench grinder. If it landed 4 mm closer I would of lost some eye sight for
sure. Since then I wear goggles religiously at the grinding wheel, no
matter HOW SMALL A JOB it is. Thanks for sharing your experience, it keeps
us reminded to make an effort of being prepared for the worst.
