For goodness sake please don't touch it with your hands AT ALL - it is a dangerous acid.
You need to wear rubber gloves and ideally safety glasses and mask when using it and you then need to neutralise the beads in a sodium bicarbonate solution before washing them in water.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS STUFF!!!

if you type in etching in the search box on the main page there is all sorts of info, including lots about safety !
