Homebrew PCBs

Several years ago acetone was the main ingredient in fingernail 
polish remover.

A few weeks ago in the daily toolbox safety meeting, when grinding 
the company requires the use of both safety glasses or goggles and a 
full face shield. The face shield will stop most of the sparks and 
flying debris. Especially if the wheel should disintegrate. The 
safety glasses or goggles are for those small particles that manage 
to fly and get in between the face shield and your face.
