Re: Not just me then.
I usually got blamed for throwing it down me. Another stitch up.
As you probably know, ferric chloride has a delayed action on clothing - especially natural fibres. Apart from the fact that you can't get the brown stain off unless you're quick, if it's spilt on jeans or shirts it gradually bleaches them, then eats through the cotton/denim, so you end up with holes.
Thinking about it, people will spend hundreds these days on jeans that look like all mine did anyway back in the day - many as a result of some initial contact with ferric chloride to start the rot.
