Stop in for a cup of coffee

About a hundred years ago... At the antique shop we got the stuff in 55 gal drums. Kept in a shed at far end of building opposite from where we used it. I was transferring some to a bucket and splashed down front of my pants. Fastest I ever stripped to my skivvies and ran around to the other side behind the building. Boss lived next door, I think he loaned me a pair of pants. LOL
LOL for sure. I can't imagine. Bad enough when I spilled a turp mix on on a pant leg ..... doesn't burn on the hands but does where there
s some sensitve skin .

Did you guys also use lye by the barrel?
