Got something like uncured epoxy or Tru oil on your hands and nothing decent to remove it?
I just discovered a convenient way to get them pretty much clean (still a little lingering smell) with stuff you will undoubtedly have on hand. (pun intended)
Just rub your hands with some sawdust, otherwise known as "man glitter" and then wash them with some dish soap. Don't rinse the sawdust before applying the dish soap and rubbing hands together using the sawdust like a slurry. I've tried it with Tru oil and epoxy so far, and it seems to work pretty well for me. Don't know if the dry sawdust sucks up the offending product or the slurry acts like a mild abrasive to remove it.
In related news I'm progressing well with a second wooden handle on a knife kit. Those double bolster kits are a pain to fit, but look great when finished. With three separate epoxy gluings and multiple applications of Tru oil, I've had to clean this stuff off my hands quite a few times over the last couple days.
