Hi,

How do I clean the sticky resin from a cut conifer,
from my hands? The only effective cleaner I have found
is methylated spirit, but I suffer from dry skin already,
so that is not ideal.

Have you tried surgical spirit, ordinary petrol or lighter fuel?

Please don't suggest that anyone put petrol on their hands- it
contains
benzene, for instance, which is really not nice.

I days of old, when I designed and used vacuum systems, we often used
benzene to clean mechanical components and, occasionally, our hands.
My hands did not suffer any ill.

Franz
