Anybody find a go hand wash for neutralizing resins on skin?

[StarQuest]

Up until last week I've never experienced a skin irritation from using my repair resins. Well that all changed last week, both of my hands got really messed up. I'm thinking it had more to do with it being above normal humid and hot here it may have found it's way into the pores and then cured under the skin. Where talking bump city here I normally just spray windex on my hands if the've made contact after a repair but apparently that doesn't help much. Any suggestions as to a better or more effective neutralizing hand wash? Until then I quess I start using nitrile gloves again.....but I really hate wearing those.

I would definitely recommend nitrile gloves. There is also a product called Derma-Shield that you can get from us or elsewhere. It's a foam barrier that you apply to your hands, which blocks resin from getting to your hands.

Works pretty well.

Jeff,

I've seen your product (Derma Shield) listed in your catalog but have never seen any post with feedback regarding this product. Maybe someone that's already used this product could respond. It's so weird that I even had a reaction to this. I've had my hands in 106 octane gas, acetone, mineral spirits and much more without a problem. The only contact I ever have with resin is from simply touching blue shop towels with spots of resin on them while draining injector. Oh well, better take your advice and use nitrile gloves until this clears up. Can't afford any off days this time off year. Like I already said, think it had more to do with our very humid michigan weather, where the skin pores may have opened up enough to allow absortion.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, some people just have a very low tolerance to resin.

Not sure if you're a customer of ours, but I would recommend switching to a low acid resin from now on. Our MagniBond resin has very little acrylic acid in it, so if you're using Premium Bond now, I would recommend the switch. If you use other resin, ask your supplier if they have a low acid resin.

Derma Shield works pretty well, we use it during our training classes. The person that demonstrated it to us put it on their hands, then put battery acid on his hand to show how well it works.

I do NOT recommend doing that, but it was a pretty persuasive demonstration!

In my previous (pre-retirement) life I sold industrial chemicals for 32 years. Use the gloves or Dermashield for your personal protection Read and understand all the M.S.D.S.s provided on each chemical you use or are exposed to.
Make up a book of all of them and keep with in your vehicle along with a first aid kit with eye wash, band aids, waterless hand cleaner, etc.
I don't mean to come across as an OSHA guy but you know the old saying of C-Y-A.

I use "Gloves in a Bottle", a barrier lotion available in beauty supply stores. Hairdressers use it to protect against the harsh chemicals they are exposed to daily. After each repair, I clean my hands with "handy-wipe" type product, and reapply the lotin. I also use acid free resin, which also reduces the irritation. Some people are more sensitive to the resins than others, but it is probably a good idea to use some type of protection from the start.

Thanks gold star,

Actually, I already found info from one of your previous post and ordered some direct. Been using product for couple weeks now and it works great. No more skin problems
