hello, i just saw that you are not wearing the proper safety equipment or safety goggles while doing this procedure, you know, while doing this while handling the chemicals. i think you should wear that because it's going to be bad for you. we can really have a serious accident, you can burn yourself. so it's better to wear, it's better to be safe rather than doing it with the bare hands. that's all i wanted to say and i would be be grateful if you will be fully prepared with all the safety equipments around you. thank you so much.
