Sticky Hand Cleaning - found solution

[Bootsy]

Hi. Much reading and doing over the years, and I still couldn't get the stickiness off my hands when trimming. using isopropyl followed by soap a couple times was my best results. I really don't like using gloves, but still did occasionally till a recent brain-fart. I use oils to dilute hash oil, so I tried using it to wash. it removed the stickiness, but then required multiple soap wash to get the slippery residue off. then I thought - hmm, hand lotion is oily. a single slow generous application of hand lotion, followed by a simple rinse with soap actually did- and now does the removal very nicely. and - my hands are softer too. In case it is of help to anybody, I don't remember seeing this anywhere. give it a try.

Lotion helped get the sticky resin off your hands after trimming?

Interesting, I will definitely keep that in mind when I inevitably forget to put on gloves!

I have found the easiest way to remove sticky resin from hands is to wash with liquid soap, isopropyl alcohol and a scrub brush, and skip the water until rinsing is needed.

that used to be me, alomost exactly except I'd wipe with paper towel before soap. that's in the past now.

Great advice, Bootsy.

That sounds like the same concept of waterless hand cleaner like would be used after working on an engine.

That hand cleaner was called GOOP, and it worked well! Don't know if it would take care of sticky fingers from the ganja

I will like to try it and will let you know what I think. Anything that helps with that sticky mess is a winner!

Since the ganja resins are hydrophobic, then maybe the oils from the lotion loosens the bond between the sticky trichomes and the skin allowing the sticky to be wiped away easier. Like dissolves like!
