    G'day Janet Berg;      Glacial is concentrated acetic acid.   It can
    only be called 'glacial' if it solidifies like ice  at 15C.    It is
    so concentrated that the glacial acid will burn flesh easily - and
    painfully.  If you want to check a sample of acid place it in a
    refrigerator (NOT a freezer )   with a thermometer and see what
    temperature it freezer at..  Be careful with it
