Nice stuff HF - i'll rush right out and get me some. My pal the Chemical Engineer has bad dreams about this stuff - it is used in huge quantities in microchip fabrication - one of those "clean industries".

 

HF when properly used and stored is no more dangerous than many of the other thousands of toxic chemicals that are contained in, or used in the manufacturing of products we all use on a daily basis.

I guess it depends on the concentration. The stuff Intel and others use will dissolve your bones.

I'm sure that's not the concentration Chris is recommending, but this particular acid is a nasty agent which results in a number of severe industrial injuries every year. The scary part is that initially, you don't feel a thing when a concentrated solution of it meets your skin.
