    Oh I'll be doing half first then quarter it till I approach the 50ppm over a few days. I am very familiar with chemicals I operated a distilling unit on a US Navy ship when we had to manually chlorinate pot water tanks to .2-2.0FAC depening . on location in tanks up to 25k in size using Cal Hypo down a tube batch add style. I'd be lying if we didn't get bored down there and didn't wear the protection like we should have and it ate some clothing or I'd we didn't throw some cal hypo into some lube oil and paint. So the MA will be under water before uncapping and I'll be covered up with all chems.
    Thanks for the reminders.

    You threw cal hypo in lube oil on a US Navy ship??? I can only assume that you didn't get caught, and were only using a small amount of cal hypo and lube.

    Do that these days, and Homeland Security is likely to come calling, even if the ship's captain doesn't!

    Uh, do NOT mix ANY form of chlorine with ANYTHING else, including another form of chlorine. Bad things happen when you do!

    Yea I agree do not do it, chemicals are very dangerous. The amounts we used were very minimal and was under supervision to expose us to the possibilities of what could happen if not careful due to the close proximity of oil and cal hypo. Often oil is floating on top of water in the bilges where cal hypo could be knocked over in to. I highly recommend against mixing any chemicals of these natures.

    Oh, I see - you did it as part of a training exercise.
