Thread: Need help removing glue pigment from hands

What? No Triton products to help you out here? :0 (sorry Barry had to do it).

Not sure about the Glue/staining, maybe add a day or two and it will start wearing off, or track down some thinners?

Stephen

Acetone (may have no effect once cured ?), followed by gentle washing with warm soapy water for 5-15 minutes.
Otherwise a couple of days should see it peel - unless you develop a rash - in that case see a doc.

Wear gloves next time & good luck with the new job.

Thanks Gents,

Rang the Manufacturers (duh :b)

Absolutely nothing will remove it.

It just has to wear off.

Now, how do I explain to my new employer and co-workers why I don't have enough personal hygene to wash my filthy hands.

Finally got a break with employment, but still humbled by everyday mishapps.

Barry,
My wife is one of the unusual women, who that when they see something new, buys it. She found what is fine emery or wet & dry paper, glued on a plastic paddle which you use in a bath or shower(when skin has softened) for removing hard skin/callouses from the feet. Works well on the feet.

I was gluing up a large number of brass tubes into pen blanks using a type of superglue and found at the end of it all, I had somewhat black hands and fingers. Nothing seemed to remove it. I was in the shower and saw the paddle sitting above the shower door and you guessed it, I tried it and it worked.

A couple of points though
1/ make sure hands are well softened by the water
2/ don't rub too hard, it will remove more than the outer layer of skin.

Kev

Thanks for that Kev,

End of day three and I really went to town scratching them off in a really hot shower. Almost all gone, just bits and pieces left when the show ran cold.

I'll ask my lady about the emory board.

we used to have a similar problem with a glue for polystyrene great stuff but the only thing to get it of was 120 grit sand paper coarser is too painfull finer does little.
gloves are a wonderfull thing i keep 2 boxes of disposable gloves in the workshop 1 latex ( cheap ANSEL from the supermarket ) & 1 of a better plastic food grade glove. great for painting & staining and othe messy jobs. when you are finnished just peel em off into the bin. great.
Cheap disposables don't stsnd solvents much at all though.
I am still looking for a good solvent proof glove for serious stuff like playing in thinners, cleaning spray gunns & the like. I have been told nitrile is the go.
