I have used fingernail polish remover to get it off. the wife ought to have some just wet a spot on a rag and rub. oh by the way replace the remover or you will be in big trouble

Re: got goo on my hands

two suggetions<br />1) get your hands (literally) on some Tincture Green soap-you can get it at a pharmacy-try that.<br />2) Put a healthy amount of vegetable oil on your hands, then put on a pair of rubber gloves. With the gloves on engage in some activities that make your hands sweat. This procedure should help remove a good bit of it.

catfish, from a man I know that works with this stuff all the time in building cars, he says that depending on how much you got on you, from a few days to a couple weeks to wear it off.<br /><br />There are stuff on the market to take it off, but is not safe for the skin to use.<br /><br />Sorry for your mishap with this stuff.

What about WD-40? I use it to remove just about everything that gets stuck on my hands.

Re: got goo on my hands

This is going to sound strange but it might help. Scrub your hands with a stiff hand brush and shaving cream. There are release agengts in the shaving cream that help. I have used shaving cream after using fiberglass resin and it helped.<br /><br />On a lighter note...do your hands float?? <br /><br />Bob
