I've been reading some (of many!) topics on OA, and I am starting on making my soaking tub.

(a) A friend sent me a link to some safety warnings on using the product, what do y'all use to be safe? I guess a pair of regular safety glasses and disposable gloves just might not suffice.

(b) Doing three frames (on is a 25", I'll build the tank to fit that as I doubt I'll every do any bikes bigger), two are scuffed up but I intend to save the paint; the third I've had soda blasted. Any reason I cannot soak all three, including the bare one? It's really bare, but I want to clear out the inside of the tubes.

(c) Is the chemical action temperature-affected? I was thinking about doing this in my basement, but wonder about fumes. I do have an enclosed porch and can open it up for a lot of ventilation -- but it's winter. Will cold temps slow/stop the process? I recall stripping the paint from my antique car in an unheated garage, almost nothing was happening until it warmed up, and then the difference was amazing.
