Removing paint, sealant from hands / skin?

I was working yesterday using sealant and waterproofinf paint, should have worn gloves but did not,





This is now all over my hands and no amount of scrubbing will remove it, any tips or products which will take it offRemoving paint, sealant from hands / skin?
Why don't you use some gasoline. That is why mother uses when she gets paint on her hands. It always works for her all the time.Removing paint, sealant from hands / skin?
Fanella`s suggestion is BRILLIANT, my girlfriend tried most things in the house which just made it sticky, but Washing up liquid and sugar worked in less then 5 mins. Thankyou.

washing up liquid mixed with sugar might shift it
Baby Wipes. Scary but true.
Best to apply something like vassaline or oil to your hands before you paint---
try a bottle of (goof off) it's also in the paint area just rub like if it was lotion for about 5 min then wash hands
put a bit of cooking oil on it and then wash it with soap
lighter fluid,gas, nail polish remover that stuff remove anything
Surgical spirit, cheap from any chemist.
buy and Use a tinner from a hardware store
meths spirit gets rid of most things like that or paint remover
Go to your local Paint store , they have hand cleaner that will remove everything from your hands... most sealants ,and waterproofing are toluene based or some other oil based substance , soap ,and water will not penetrate , nor will paint thinner . go to the paint store tell them exactly what you were using , and they can help you





Pro Painter , not a half @sser with a truck ,and a brush
yes chazza their is , normally the paint will come of your hands with cold water , but with the sealent , not so easy , the only thing i know that will get both of these of your hands is Myathalated Spirts just rub that into your hands , then it well came loose , then wash your hands under the cold water tap , not hot, and when the paint and the sealocone is of wash your hands with soap and water , Now if this does not work then get some cold water in a bucket , and put 2 table spoons of cystalize bleech into the bucket. Not the Liquid Bleech. and this will get it all of for you , , when it is all of your hands wash your hands with soap and warm water , hope this will help you ,
Mineral Spirits. I swear this gets everything off. You can get it an any hardware store, and I think at Wal*Mart too.
