What are some basic safety rules to observe when working with hydrochloric acid?

Answer:

to acheive fire you need air(oxygen), a fuel(gas), and heat or spark.
Fuel, Heat, Oxygen - Also known as the traditional fire triangle. Fuel - Something that can be burned Heat - The fuel must be heated to the point that it can burn. Yes, it's true that once the fire starts it can and does generate it's own heat, but if that heat were removed somehow (i.e. the application of water), the fire goes out. Oxygen - Fire's need oxygen to burn. This is either the oxygen in the air, or from the chemicals that are burning, such as oxidizers. If you were to interrupt the oxygen with say another gas, such as CO2 (as in a CO2 fire extinguisher), or blanket the fuel with dry chemical, a fire blanket, foam, etc., the fire goes out. There is actually a fourth component to fire, and that's the chemical chain reaction itself. Adding this forth component changes the fire triangle to a fire tetrahedron. If the chemical reaction is halted, say by adding Halon, FM-200, FE-13, or some other gaseous fire extinguishing agent, the fire goes out. (and NO, halon does not suck all the oxygen out of the air, there's much more to it than that.) That all being said, I like hatingmsn's answer that you may also need a permit! HEHE good one and may actually be a fifth component!
The basic uncertainty is what you call fiberglass. Fiberglass is in fact fibers spun from glass. These fibers do not burn. Fiberglass has many uses. One is fiberglass reinforcements to other products. A very common one is fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) which is used to make many products (e.g. showers and bath / shower combinations, thermoform sheet that is ultimately thermoformed or vacuum formed into a finished product, etc. Depending upon the plastic formulation used, the FRP may burn. We cannot tell from here which sort of FRP formulation you may have in mind so we cannot tell you whether it will burn or not.
Fuel, Air and something to burn. (And a fourth thing for some people is an Arsonist's Mind)
Your wife is well more than being reasonable. You are being unreasonable. Let's replace your male lover, with a mistress. Would you feel entitled to have her accept you cheating with her too. Being bi has nothing to do with it. Just because it is a man, instead of a woman, does not give you special leeway in your marriage vows. The fact is you are introducing another individual sexually into your 30 yr marriage. I may be wrong, feel free to correct me, but I doubt she knew you were bi and wanted anybody else in the marital bed when you married her. The vows says to forsake all others You are trying to change the rules on her. Be a man. Divorce her or stay. If you stay, then it is with her only. No woman worth her weight would want a husband's lover involved in her life at all. You have a decision to make. Stop being unreasonable. By the way, I had a boyfriend who come out as bi. I refused another person in the relationship, because I had a backbone and self esteem.
