Agreed, Caution and care should always be taken and you should have plans ahead of time in case there is a spill. No matter how careful you are, mistakes can and do happen. I am quite close to my sink also and another 2 steps to the full shower. I also use a spill tray (cookie sheet) that I do all my mixing on. I also wear tight latex gloves and glasses. I NEVER want to get any in my eye... That reminds me. I need an eye wash thingamabob. I will get one asap. Doesn't hurt to have one.
Well I do wear glasses, can't see without them, so my eyes are somewhat protected.
