I think you're getting to like it Bjorn :-)
Did you buy this stuff at the same location? Sounds like its a bad
batch which is breaking down and acting like a chemical battery. I
would be worried about it even doing the job if it's discharging
electricity. But before you kill yourself, why don't you discharge it
to ground with a wire next time.
