Hi All, Just thought I'd share a tip. A great way to get rid of the resin stickyness after working with your plants is to rub a little canola cooking oil on your hands. The resin is much easier to scrape off. Kind of rolls into balls that wash away with a little dish soap. I use this method to clean the glue from labels on jars that I wish to use for some purpose. (Pickle jars, cheese whiz etc,) GF  | ||

 | Rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball works well too, and you don't have to wash oil off afterward.  | ||

| I would just like to add...After cleaning your sticky fingers, smoke a joint with some Raw Papers. Best damn papers in the world.  Very high post. Sorry Alcohol works best for my sticky problems. | ||

| I've always used hand sanitizer gel. It's mostly alcohol. Great for getting the smell off your hands after a joint, cleaning resin from skin after cleaning a piece, etc. I'd have to figure it'd work wonders for post-manicure cleanup.

| i use latex gloves. the hash sticks to the gloves, and i replace with a new one if it gets too thick. just leave the stuff on the gloves, and let it dry, it comes off very easily and is ready to smoke.

| glove-rub hash is somethink that will have to wait for a bigger pantry and unfortunately OCD alcohol-use was drying my hands crispy even diluted and mixed with moisturizers so for most quick clean-ups and to kick off major glassware scrubs i use this VIM dishwash powder  this stuff'll take off rust but won't scratch paint or enamel!  it's just the business for cutting sticky grease and grime-- off anythink! hardwater, soapscum, walls, glass, toilets, etc, etc!  and it doesn't dry out my skin too much with excessive use whoops i think i accidentally wrote a commercial *blush* but i swear i don't get commission and it's just from the dollar+ store  Pen

| Just a quick tip. If you handle enough trim/harvest with latex gloves or just your hands, when your done working, you can literally hold a beer in your hand without actually holding it. The resin holds it for you. That's nice after a long day - the beer is just attached to your hand bert | ||
