This really ain't too Techincal but the question is. HOW DO YOU GET THIS SHIT OFF OF YOUR HANDS ?? I know I shoulda worn gloves !!!!!!! I have tried Laquer thinner, nail polish remover, Orange Go Jo, and I'm about to try a wire brush. I know, just live with it and it will wear off eventually, but is there an easier and quiker way? BB
Bob, I found that naphtha(sp) is the only thing that will cut this stuff but if it's already dry it's harder to get off, after having this problem several times ( read= I didn't learn the first time) I found that soaking your hand with baby oil helps speed up the process, it kinda gets under it and helps to release it from the skin. Hope that helps.
Difficult isn't it, I had it run down my arm. Took a while and lots of scrubbing (hurts). On the other hand it spilled on the painted concrete outside a friends shop back in 1995. The section with the spill is still there the rest of the paint is long gone.
Yeah, gotta be careful with this stuff. Was under a car and didn't care how much dropped on the shop T-shirt I was wearing. Didn't think about it bleeding through the fabric. Took the shirt off and looked like a dalmation dog for awhile.............
Once it dried on me ... I got it off, I had to pick and scrap it off .... but a couple layers of skin came with it.
take a washcloth and some soap. Its really not that hard to get off. You might be a little red but its really no harder to get off then regular paint
Ive used chassis savor. Its alittle cheaper then por-15 and a single stage. Took me 2 weeks to get it off my wrists and arms. I had gloves on. I scrubbed with orange clean every day till it hurt to bad to continue.
Sorry Bob, you are f--ked. That stuff is wicked. Give it 6-10 days, with regular washing, lots of soap, and good terry cloth wash rags should take care of it.
Okay Gnome Brain read the damn can before using. Also don't spray this shit without a mask. If you do you will know why. As far as getting it off, everybody i know that got it on them had to let it wear off ( 3 - 4 days ).Have fun sambo hands.
The wire brush works best. A little advice, next time have a "friend" do the application for you. Tell him you down in your back or some other flimsy excuse and could sure use his help. Might work. Later, Dick
better be a damn good mask too....it takes me to bronchitis almost right away if i don't.nasty shit in the lungs
bob,put some tight rubber gloves an with a little water in each one and wear those suckers around for a few hours..the por 15 will come off.
It took about 5 days for the little speckles to come off my forearms. That was with some scrub-brushing. It is way harder to get off than regular paint. The water in the gloves thing sounds interesting. Kind of trying to sweat it off. Just might be worth a try. Other than that I wouldn't rush it. It's gonna hurt.
Gloves are good. I've used POR-15 and never had this problem. But I read the directions, and the guys at the paint store were pretty emphatic.
have you ever painted over a wet surface with that stuff? it seems to stick better lol. since were made up of what? over 50% water, that stuff will stick on you like fly's on Sh&^
bob, i helped a buddy do this last sat.....its still on my elbow and forearm...but it wearin off..........
I work in the Glass trade.(30yrs) , sealing,attaching,glass ,mirrors....etc.I sometimes work with pretty nasty stuff.totaly by accident i tried wd-40 .takes most anything off skin,tools ,carpet .I don't know why, but that stuff works.The urethane that is used on newer cars windshields is black and is permanatelike india ink.takes it off. good luck
Been there. Green Scotchbrite pads. Put one in the shower, soap it up real good, and scrub away. After a few showers it will be gone. After you get out, put skin lotion on the areas, and it will soften things up for the next time. Is it me or does this sound perverted?..... "It puts the lotion on its skin..."(Silence of The Lambs)
If you want it to not look so bad you going to have to paint the rest of yourself that way the spots you have now won't stand out.
If you get a black spot, RUN for the lacquer thiner immediately! wont take it off but now you have a big gray area! more better!!
