Cleaning your hands

[Indydirtfarmer]

Lava hand soap (bar) for the "everyday dirt", and for the tough stuff, WD-40 get's anything that'll come off without taking skin with it.

One more vote for the orange go-jo with pumice. I keep a gallon in the shop at all times.

I used to use cheap petroleum based lotions like CVS's version of vasaline in cream form only, as it doesn't leave your hands slippery... Cheap and seals the poors pretty good. Aslo works good on your cheaks in the winter to keep you from getting wind burn...

WD40 most deffinetly works to remove any thing oil based. But I would not use it on my hands... I've read the original MIL spec and and HASMAT material and there cancer warnings... Some of the grease's and oils we use are already bad enough why compound it... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Besides it realy smarts in scratch's and cuts... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifWD 40 also is good a removing the glue from those darn commercial sticky labels on glass windows and metalic surfaces... and cleans up easy with alchohol.

Now a days I just use plain ol dish washing soap... and somthing to scrub with... if need b...

My brother paints, and told me to use regular windex to get oil base paint off your skin. I was sceptical until I tried it. It really works, and you don't have to scrub that hard.
