Spray Paint02/22/2005
I found an easy way to remove spray paint from my hands -- I used a little Pine-Sol and it took all the paint off without having to scrub!

Water based paint - use water, soap and a green pot scrubber, (like a Scotch Brite pad).

Oil based paint - use mineral turpentine, then soap and water with a Scoth Brite pad.

The mineral turpentine can be drying so moisturise well after scrubbing.

For wood stain I always use rubber gloves as its virtually impossible to get all the stain from round the nails - you have to wait for a few days of repeated washing until it wears off and it looks very unsightly - don't ask me how I know! lol!

I am an artist and continually get paint on myself - face, hands, clothes. In responsed to the previous post, I have a bad reaction to turpentine on my skin. I have found that if I wash off or wipe off my hands as soon as I possibly can after getting the paint on them, I can usually get it off with just soap and warm water for oil, acrylic or even latex house paints. The dark greens and browns are harder to get off, but with a little scrubbing, I can usually get them off, too, with only soap and warm water. I keep old rags handy in a large leftover plastic food container (no lid) to wipe my hands, one for my brushes and anything else I need to wipe off -- usually just worn out towels or dish cloths or even old socks or undershirts. This is easier on sensitive skin.

Degreaser works great no matter what. Use it within 24 hours though. It cleans up anything and doesn't burn.

While spraypainting a bunk-bed the spray paint went psycho and splattered all over my hands. I searched under my sink for something to get it off and chose FANTASTIK all purpose spray cleaner... it worked perfectly. I just sprayed it on my hands and rubbed it in and wiped it off with a washcloth.

To get varnish off your hands use lamp oil... i used citronella lamp oil and worked great. Remember to mosturize!

I used thunder blast by (quick stuff) and with a little bit of wiping it took it right off! You can find the cleaner at dollar general. Quick stuff is a degreaser.
