Mosaic Tiles
Why wearing goggles while breaking tiles for a mosaic?
I don’t wear goggles because I put the tiles into a plastic bag, so I can’t get pieces in my eyes.
I occasionally make soap. I am very, very careful since you have to work with very caustic substances. I never take chances. However a few years ago I started to get a bit lax–I asked the same question. Why wear goggles? Nothing bad ever happens.
Except it did. I had a very strange, once-in-a-lifetime accident, and the soap base exploded, literally exploded, all over my kitchen. There’s still a melted spot on the ceiling where it hit. It ruined the finish on my floor, took the paint off of my walls and gave me chemical burns on my scalp and up and down my arms because I didn’t wear the recommended long sleeves.
Luckily, at the last minute–right before the accident–I put the goggles on. There is a chemical burn right across the eyes of the goggles. I look at those goggles whenever I think that “it could never happen.”
