If It's a problem,buy a box of 100 latex gloves,they don't cost much and If you take them off carefully they can be re-used......I just pinch em from work

 

Is this HDF or Susie Homemaker forum?
Just kiddin, I use the small sharp jack knife for the nails and GoJo for the skin.

 

+1 on the gloves. Not only for keeping your hands clean, but also because those chemicals soak through your skin into your bloodstream. I was told at a 3M training class years ago that laquer thinner on your hands could be detected in urine within 30 mins FYI.

 

i wear rubber gloves when i work on bikes... just easier... i am a suit durring the day...
but when i dont, i use goop, followed by dish soap and nail brush... works great!

 

Dawn. It's not just for dishes.

 

I just flip on the table grinder & use the metal brush side to clean that crap from under my nails....



Really, I use whatever I got....GoJo, Lava, etc along with a small scrub brush.

 

Don't need all that 'fancy stuff'.....

Regular old gasoline does a good job of removing gunk from your hands....

Just remember to dry your hands afterwards before lighting a cigarette..

 

+1 with the dish soap comment...works like a charm for me

 

Somehow, I just know I would be frightened if I saw you wearing rubber gloves...

 

Yes, it certainly is. We're on Girlie bikes, remember?

Now, next week, we'll be discussing how to knit the most delightful covers to put on those mirrors when we're not checking our make up.
