Re: Don't try this at home...
Well I'm 84 and must have been very fortunate all my life. When I was in the army 1953 and in Egypt we rebuilt vehicle and other batteries. Battery acid was feely available and NO protective gear at all. Later I worked for BR, lots of asbestos around roofing material, heating pipe lagging, tape around hot pipes on steam engines foot plate and diesel electric locos. We had asbestos insulated cable/wire. Could be I'm very fortune but I think we have become a mamby pampy state where every thing is dangerous. Life is an adventure. What I do know is once you have had a shock from a CRO tube you are very careful in future.Ted
