I've just been mending the printer in my office and my hands are now black, and I mean BLACK! I've just tried to wash it off, nothing. I've tried thinners and nothing! There's nothing else to try is there? Except strippers I suppose, but I'd prefer to keep the skin on my fingers.
Can anyone suggest anything to try, please? I can't walk around all weekend with black palms!
Thank you for all your suggestions, you lovely people!
I tried terps and then bleach, they still didn't work. Then I used a nail brush and some 1001 carpet stain remover (oops!), that seems to have shifted it a bit after half an hour's scrubbing. It's more of a light blue colour now and the feeling in my finger tips is slightly returning... :o)
Buy the cheapest, strongest vodka you can find, scrub in a cap full, it should work,(it used to get boot polish out of carpets in my army days) if not drink it and you wont give a shat.
Finished work an hour ago and I have cracked open a couple of beers, I havnt seen you turn into an arse yet, dont go to bed and leave me high and dry!!!!!!!!
DO NOT TRY BLEACH!!! bleach contains absolutely no cleaning agents!! it will sterilize your hands but it will not clean, people believe bleach is a cleaning agent but in fact it just turns thing white by removing the colour and this is only done by soaking, if you soak your hands they will go red and get very sore!!
