The Case of the Gorilla Hands

One more for the seasoned veterans. Gorilla Glue is GREAT but how in the heck do you get it off your hands? I couldn't figure out why my fingers had turned brown. I thought I had washed all of it off but appearantly not. Not even an SOS pad would take it off. Ouch!!!

Now I know why David Marks uses rubber gloves when he works with it on Woodworks.

It will come off in a couple of weeks - wear gloves

I always wear disposable blue nitrile gloves and still manage to get it on myself. I gave up on using a glue brush and spread it with my finger. I usually end up with it all over my blanks and my work surface. I found that if I lay the blanks on a small sheet of plastic while they dry, the slopped glue won't stick as bad as it did when I put them on an old sheet of cardboard to dry.

Try aceone on your hands (I keep a dampened cloth nearby), but be careful, it's highly flammable and you may get a skin reaction if you expose yourself too often.

Carburetor and choke cleaner works for me.

Thanks for the input on acetone. It took most of it off. I'm pretty much back to normal now.
