Aqueous based tile etching solutions are disclosed containing hydrofluoric acid along with additives that can be used to reveal exposure. The exposure revealing additives of the present invention may have irritant properties so that an exposed individual can feel that skin contact has occurred and / or alternatively may dye the skin to reveal a colored or fluorescent stain where contact has taken place. The result is a hydrofluoric acid containing tile etching solution having improved overall safety by revealing when and where exposure has taken place. This becomes very important owing to the fact that skin contact with solutions containing hydrofluoric acid often go unnoticed for some time and may therefore result in substantial chemical injury including bone damage. The hydrofluoric acid employed in the present invention may be formed in situ by the interaction of a strong acid with a water soluble fluoride salt.
