Juglone dye

[RobArb]

How on earth do you get it off your hands?

 

When i wash my hands (its on both thumbs and index finger) it goes darker, even tried the good stuff that normally gets oil, grease and the like off:cursing:??

[RobRainford]

i find one of them green scouring pads that normally live in the kitchen works well on some things, failing that, a metal scourer has worked in the past, if you dont mind having sore hands!

 

can you not soak it in the bath or something for a while and then have a good scrub?

[RobArb]

done that:thumbup: I now have dark thumbs??

[RobRainford]

id leave it to work its way off, ive got felt glue on my hands and arms from helping my grandad fix his garage roof, white spriit was ok but wouldnt get it all, im just leaving it!

 

would white spirit not work? or petrol?

Been playing with walnuts, have you?

 

If white spirit doesn't help try alcohol. Failing that you'll have to wear it of as it's gone into your skin. I've used it to dye wool and leather before and it's in your skin pretty quickly. If it's dyed your skin rather than just stained the outside and you insist on having it off the only thing for it would be sandpaper or a bench grinder......

haha, i'll leave it for now then:lol:

 

I rather like my skin on!

You sure you've not been at the cash machine.

That dye is a git to get off too.

So I've heard.

Pumice stone. Also works well for finding embedded thorns, getting glue off etc.
