Fibreglass removal problem
I was using some black fibreglass material used for armcasts and didn't wear gloves. Well, now my palms look like they belong to "Cheetah the Chimp". I've tried acetone, laquer thinner, orange blast, quick brite, you name it. Does any one have any idea what gets this stuff off????

Time and patience.
Pick away at it, but gently. There are no solvents I can think of that will dissolve resin without nasty side effects to the skin. Epoxy or polystyrene based(like bondo)?

your skin will shed underneath it... should take about a week to have it all flake off or be easy enough to pick at...

When my hands get trashed from too much work and not enough protection I soak them in HOT water and dish washing detrergent. Make the water as hot as you can handle w/o burning yourself keep a couple beers within easy reach and drop in a dvd and soak.

In the meantime, avoid scratching the privates!

This kind comes out only by prayer and fasting.
