Knocked over a bottle of Bakers Soldering Fluid on my workbench, mopped up with paper towels and washed any equipment or materials it touched but wondering what else I should do. Workbench surface is plywood with clear polyurethane finish but pretty battle scarred. Some spilt onto concrete floor and rubber matting as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks all for the speedy responses.

I already found a MSDS online MichaelG but thanks for the one you provided.

After mopping up the spill I waited a while to see what reaction if any resulted. Seems like the accumulated oil/dust/rust/dirt ingrained in the benchtop simply neutralised the relatively mild acid properties of the flux as no apparent ill effects an hour later. Likewise the concrete floor appeared unharmed as well as the rubber floor mat. Did notice a 'soapy' feel on the skin of my fingers which came in contact with it when mopping up, but that soon disappeared after washing my hands again.

The only tools that came in contact was a pair of side cutters which I washed and then sprayed with light oil.

Assorted bits of metal lying on the bench which were also splashed with flux were washed and left to dry.

Interestingly, I use an old artists flat painbrush about 6mm wide to apply the flux. It never gets washed and after several years the only damage is some slight corrosion of the aluminium ferrule. The timber handle and the bristles seem to have survived fairly well, although the bristles have suffered from applying flux to surfaces already heated by the soldering iron/blowtorch..

I'll see what everything looks like in the morning. Expecting some light surface corrosion on the steel bits but that won't be a problem.

Well after more than 24 hours the end result is:

Plywood 1, Bakers Soldering Fluid 0.

Concrete floor and rubber mat unharmed. Bits of steel on the bench were washed and now show only light surface rust most likely from residual moisture after washing. Affected tools which were washed and oiled show no after-effects.

Some of the ingrained dirt/rust/metal filings on the bench changed colour but the timber itself appears unharmed. It might have helped that over the last few days we have been experiencing the greatest rainfall ever recorded, with over 80% of our annual rainfall being recorded in a 3-day period causing widespread flooding. Humidity has been in the 90%+ range during this time too.

Regardless, next time I'll be more careful and remember not to leave opened bottles of anything where they can be knocked over.
