Perhaps you'll splash some oxalic acid in your eyes, John...then you can
sell your boat and get yourself a seeing-eye dog.


Oxalic acid is a mild organic acid. It does not react strongly with most
biologicals. Boraxic acid is another mild acid. It is also known as eye
wash. I wouldn't want to get the powder in my eye but what you spray on the
boat would not be very strong or reactive. Just because it has the word
"ACID" doesn't mean it will burn your eyes out. Be sensible with it but it
is NOT Sulphuric or hydrochloric acid.
