Matt, Martin,

I have had success with sulfuric acid also but, I would not even
consider using it without wearing gloves, safety glasses, an apron or
lab coat, and without excellent ventilation such as an exhaust hood or
outdoors.   

Matt,  does this mean your going to be offering up some Canyon Diablo
soon?
