Great video, but such poor lighting at the point of attack. Still watched it and enjoyed it.
I did the brake cleaner to the eye a few months ago, and I just knew that pain and searing meant my cornea, iris and optic nerve were all melting!!!
Just an awful experience, and I am religious about eye protection from here on........
I can't wait for more time lapse videos. Very cool!
