As long as you had vinegar nearby, you're good. And maybe don't use it in a humid environment (or if you're sweating!)And geziz what am I thinking handling it without gloves!

True, but bear in mind that unlike neutralizing acids, neutralizing a base this way is an exothermic reaction, and sometimes a rather energetic one.As long as you had vinegar nearby, you're good. And maybe don't use it in a humid environment (or if you're sweating!)
I know it's more work, but I have had good luck using emery cloth and a handmade flap arbor. Just a long spike with the head cut off and slotted. Chuck that into a hand drill, entire process of cleaning the cylinder took about 30 minutes on the MS261 that was straight gassed at work last time I did it. When you are done, no worries about neutralizing any chemicals, easy to get and store, no risk of a spill.
Did you watch the "Seattle is Dying" documentary? I think it lays out a pretty good path forward. But it would be very hard to get our Left Coast society to be willing to make that hard choice. I think much of the Oregon political leadership has recognized the disaster created by Measure 110. There is work in their legislature to amend it. I don't believe they are going far enough, but Baby Steps.
