How do you get 3m5200 off your fingers?

Question

I figured out that lower unit lube will take uncured resin and leave your skin feeling soft with an odor that, well, chicks don't really dig all that much, but the 5200, so far the best I've come up with is an emery board from the wife's manicure kit.  Not so bad I guess.  

Don't worry, it's cured to the point where it's not transfering to the computer keys.

After 30-odd years of messing about with seagull"spit", as we call it, I have finally smartened up enough to wear nitrile gloves (when i remember).  Now it just gets on my clothes, tools, service manuals, boat upholstery, and almost everywhere else. Thanks for the tip about the resin and gear oil.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the problem.   if you do nothing it will get "rubbery" in about a day to a day and a half, then you can rub your fingers together and it will "roll off".  The natural oils in the skin keep it from sticking for long.  There are solvents but as i say they have drawbacks.

Or you can just peel it off slowly after it cures or try to get your hands  sweaty first mostly any resin is a pain to get off your hands most just take time

Thanks for the tip,that's good to know.It is great stuff but as anyone who has ever had it on there hands knows,it's almost impossible to get off without removing a few layers of skin first.I will try your tip the next time I need to use it.Thanks again.
