No argument there. But even with the best intentions I usually wind up with
some on me somewhere. That's what happened yesterday.
Ok guys,
I guess I left off the part about the cheap latex gloves from
Sears that I always wear 1.49 for six. They are also great to grab
the roller and remove it and gloves at the end of the task. Then the
Lava Soap.
I have tried the vinegar schtick before. It was not as effective
and I had a craving for antipasto for about a week. (no anchovies
please). Please do not use solvents such as lacquer thinner or
acetone on your hands. It is readily absorbed into the skin and may
increase the tendency to develop a sensitivity to epoxy, it is also
a known carcinogen.
Port side is glassed, now waiting to smooth it with a dull paint
scraper at exactly the right time. One more thin coat and off to
more fun things.

There is some concern that the vinegar will react with the hardener (I
think), and that we don't know the safety properties of the resulting
chemicals, and that the vinegar might actually help the chemicals pass
into the skin more readily (ditto with acetone).
He recommends soap and water--and I think it's an easy and safe
recommendation to make.

vinegar trick on tools, etc., but not on skin.
There is some concern that the vinegar will react with the hardener (I
think), and that we don't know the safety properties of the resulting
chemicals, and that the vinegar might actually help the chemicals pass
into the skin more readily (ditto with acetone).

Even better yet, buy a large box of disposable rubber gloves, wear
them religiously and avoid getting epoxy on your hands in the first
place.

them religiously and avoid getting epoxy on your hands in the first
place.

I suppose everyone knows gthe vinegar trick? A quick wash with that, followed
by hand soap and your hands are clean.

Try waterless hand cleaners like "Go-Jo" or "Goop". It works great.
It only took a minute to get the googe off of me after glassing the bottom
of my AF4 yesterday.
