Conifer resin - removal

[simong]

I know there is not much resin in the conifers so late in the year, but my wife had heard somewhere that milk helps remove resin from your arms, i laughed at first, but i give it a try and it worked, amazed!! Might try cleaning my flip-line next with the stuff!

banana peel works

Sawmillers were talking about this the other day and I'm sure they used WD-40 .

Rub soil onto your arms:thumbup1:(not your ropes)Better than petrol

I know butter works very well for removing sap from ropes, not tried it on arms yet. I heard it's something to do with the fats in it.

I don't worry about my hands but spent a while this afternoon getting conifer sap chipper spray off the roof of the pickup. I'll try milk next time but was using ever so trendy Lakeland Plastics Sticky Stuff Remover and didn't quite sneak it back into the house before the wife came home. Jon's in the doghouse again...

I always get a bit of cloth an put a bit of petrol of it an rub the arms before a shower an takes it straight off! Or the misses nail varnish remover works a treat! If it gets on the ropes, straight in the washing machine!!!
