Hydrogen peroxide accelerates the reaction.
In sulfuric, yes ... for hydrofluoric ... not sure now, maybe. I've seen it as a specialist etchant for semiconductor silicon ... but I think for "liquid piranha" I'll stay with sulfuric.

I am a drunk cowboy generally when it comes to lab safety, but HF is something of which I have a deep-set fear i have no intention of addressing. This is the bias/superstition I'm now backing with a half-assed Google search. :joint:

Right, meant the Sulfuric. I believe it also works with Hydrochloric, but I have no experience with Hydrofluoric acid.

Sulfuric acid works great! Tell him to get a sponge and liberaly splash it on his nuts, they'll get cleaned right off..
Well it's my helpers lucky day we just so happen to be working at the chemistry building today and there is a 55 gallon drum of 98% pure by the loading dock . He just went to the rest room to clean up I'll let you know how it went when he stops screaming.
