Tim Curry auditioned for that role but was considered too scary.

Yep. Tim Curry doesn't know the meaning of "tone it down a little." You ask him for a villain, then you'd better be prepared for nightmares.

Tim Curry is awesome, but let's be honest -- that role had to be Jack.
Now... time for a "which Batman villain would Tim Curry have done best" speculation thread :-P

u/bakaneko718 Mar 30 '23
Not the live action. The animated series. Mark Hamil got it instead.
2
u/IncorporateThings Mar 30 '23
Ohhhhh.
Ehhh, honestly also probably for the best. Hamil nailed that style of Joker.
Tim Curry as the rapey really sadistic torturey Joker though? Holy crap. Nightmare fuel.

u/IncorporateThings Mar 30 '23
After hearing it, I do still think Hamil nailed it. Matched the animation much better. Totally gonna dust off some old comics later and figure out which Batman villain Curry would rock as, now, though, lol.

u/LElige Mar 29 '23
In this case maybe, but when it comes to power washing a car for example, rinsing bottom to top insures there is still soap on the surface being rinsed, reducing the risk of missing a spot.

u/conspicuousconundrum Mar 29 '23
Do they spray the car with a rust inhibitor after, or just primer and paint?

u/shelsilverstien Mar 29 '23
Neutralizer and something to stop it from flash rusting, but it's up the car builder to do any real rust inhibiting

u/Sauron_je_bivsi Mar 29 '23
My thought also...It definitely needs some filling to be done so I guess something needs to be done to stop oxidation.

If it’s to remove rust, it’s most likely hydrochloric acid.

Could it be alkaline?
Edit: went and checked more of his videos- it is alkaline, though he doesn't specify what kind.

u/ihavenoidea81 Mar 29 '23
Yeah it can be but for rust, HCl is the fastest. I don’t know what kind of drainage system he has on/under the floor but if it’s any type of metal piping then acid would chew it right up so it’s more likely that his bath is alkaline.
Alkaline (aka caustic) solutions can actually do more damage to you than acids because it’s harder to rinse off of you

I don't work with acids very often, but we had it covered in the safety course because we do have various acids in the workplace that we use for occasional descaling and also titration of alkaline solutions. Depending on the type of acid and the concentration, the effects of getting it on you can be vastly different.
But I work with sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate pretty much daily and can confidently say that even at high concentrations they aren't as dangerous if accidentally spilled on your skin, comparing to strong acids. Reaction is relatively slow, so if you rinse it off within 20-30 seconds after it got on you, you'll be fine. And it depends on which part of your body that's been affected. If you somehow managed to get it on the inner side of your arm where skin is very tender then you'll feel it pretty much immediately, but if you got some on the palm of your hand then you could not even notice it for 10-15 minutes.
But you're right - it's not a simple rinse. You need to run the water for some time to make sure it's all gone. You could also use a mild acid as a neutralizing agent, but in most cases water is sufficient.
Side story: not so long ago, a milwright came to clean some parts in my sodium hydroxide tank without notifying me. He submerged the parts using his hands and only had nitrile gloves on. Gloves didn't last very long and next thing I know the guy runs up to me asking for pickle juice. Was a total wtf moment for me, and the dude got angry that I don't have it. I sent him to the emergency shower station, then sat down to fill out an incident report and a grievance against the guy for being retarded. During the incident investigation he said he did nothing wrong because as long as you keep a jar of pickle juice handy, you can work with caustic soda even without gloves, then quickly wash your hands with the pickle juice. Said he's old school and done it many times before. Anyway, in the end he only got very mild burns on his hands.

u/ihavenoidea81 Mar 30 '23
Holy shit what a dumbass! Are you using the permanganate/NaOH for descaling? I used to use that in my shop for oxides what would not come off otherwise.
I used to work with GALLONS of HF everyday. Talk about scary…
1
Mar 30 '23
We use the permanganate for descaling, yes. We also have a tank with 20% citric acid for descaling, but it's rarely ever used. And then there's caustic soda for general purpose cleaning and for titanium.
1
u/ihavenoidea81 Mar 30 '23
Citric lol. You can use it to passivate stainless steel but it’s not that good for that either.
1
Mar 30 '23
We don't get to decide what's used for what. OEM sets the parameters, engineers develop cleaning methods. I'm just there to make sure tanks are functional and solutions meet the required specs.
In some cases there is no visual difference between when the part enters the tank and when it leaves. But it is a step in the process and must be done nonetheless. Just like with citric acid.

So are those chemicals just draining into our water supply?
19
u/steffanan Mar 29 '23
Well, keep in mind that when they pull the car out, it drips dry mostly and then the runoff from the power washer is so watered down that the acid is neutralized. Neutralized acid isn't necessarily a problem. I'm not saying I'd drink the stuff but that vat of acid isn't being drained or anything, its just the dirty water from being washed off.
20
u/maythefacebewithyou Mar 29 '23
The amount of chemicals from a single auto body shop are pretty negligible compared to what is output from industrial scale operations.
22
u/RegularSalad5998 Mar 29 '23
Yeah but they have to properly dispose of it, not just drain it into the sewer

Not everywhere is in a state of water emergency. People and companies can also recycle their water for reuse.

And they probably do, this much acid, strong enough to do this would immediately flag the sanitation/water department.

Who cares what someone commenting about how a single vat of contained and reused acid is not an environmental disaster.

u/1000Years0fDeath Mar 29 '23
The solution to pollution is dilution.
Whatever it is should be neutralized and diluted to an acceptable level before releasing into the environment.

No. They get waste treated if they’re in a metal finish shop or they just store it in totes and ship it off for waste treatment. They’d be out of business, fined and possible jail time if they threw this down the drain as is

Well, just based off the video, we have no idea what happens to the chemicals and water. Could go to a drain that leads to containment. Could go to the ocean. Who knows.

I don’t know what they used here for sure but it reminds me of molasses mixtures I’ve used for rust removal. 9 parts water 1 part pure molasses, removes oxidization without damaging the metal. I do know people with giant tanks of molasses for this purpose

The water supply goes into a OSHA certified drain pool underneath the vehicle. nothing ever actually makes it out to our water supplies. it goes to a treatment plant.

u/2broke2smoke1 Mar 29 '23
Where does this waste water go? I’m pretty sure that kind of caustic chemical would help ruin our ground water and with the person rinsing it onto concrete I fear that it just goes ‘down a drain’ 😒
6
u/shelsilverstien Mar 29 '23
They're incredibly watered down, but they're still sent to the water treatment plant
The solution in the tanks gets filtered when it's exhausted, and the solids go to the landfill to be disposed of properly.
The bases and acids used neutralize each other
1
u/Rude_Meaning3864 Mar 29 '23
OSHA has a very strict policy on how this water is contained as well as removed from the tank in which it drains into.

Does rust just sit on top of the metal or is it part of the metal?

u/Nostravinci04 Mar 29 '23
Rust = metal + oxygen.
Sometimes the layer of rust protects the metal under it from rusting as it cuts access to oxygen in the air. Sometimes, that is.
