+====== Conclusions ======
+H2SO4 is devastating.  This isn't too surprising since I've had minor smudges eat through clothing after sitting for a while.  RFNA made the fabric slippery.  I know HNO3 + H2SO4 + cotton makes the plastic nitrocellulose so probably related.  The fabric still seemed pretty strong but it was probably not good for it.  Phosphoric acid discovered the fabric but it still seemed plenty strong.  I was a bit surprised that HCl didn't do much (slight discoloration).  The acetic acid and the hydrofluoric acid had no noticeable effects.
