Yep ! When I worked in a machine shop yrs ago , I operated the wash , rinse & Parkerizing tanks . They were very large 6'x6'x6' steel tanks with 3 boiling hot & 1 cold rinse . One was accustic acid for washing & believe me , it was hot in the summer . I rigged up an air hose to blow cool air on me & to get the steam away whenever I had to pull parts out to do a rinse . Wasn't allowed to go shirtless due to hot acid splashes plus I had to wear a cussied hard hat & glasses to add to discomfort . There was no going home due to the heat there .I remember one hot summer day, I called the wife & had her bring me down some dry work cloths since the ones I had on were soaked from sweat . Needless to say , not many older guys in siniority wanted to bump me off .And the accustic acid we used came powder form , whenever I had to strengthen the tank I would have to scoop & throw the powder in the tank . The fumes were so bad it nearly put me down a couple times . And the tank would nearly errupt when the powder hit the hot water which made me even hotter . Oh the tales I could tell of those days . But now I can't take the extreme heat or the cold . Merry CHRISTmas & God bless, Ken
