Horrible dirty job Sam indeed! Exhaust soot is a PITA to get off your hands and gets well engrained. Just one of those jobs though where i cant abide to wear any type of gloves cos you need to feel everything with it being so fiddly [emoji36]

It’s a trade though and a gift to be able to repair an engine. The dirt does get ingrained into your skin but it just makes you a hard working man ?? A manly job ? you big macho bugger ?

Don't put your hands in your pockets and learn to piss no hands then. Who knows what the first recognised industrial disease was and why it re appeared in the US in the post war period?

Yeah the old oily rag in the pocket etc and bollock cancer etc. 95% of time i wear the blue nitrile gloves, but the exhaust job is just one of those where needs must.

Understood but it's no laughing matter, a lad I was at college with in 69 was being treated for it, poor sod fell asleep all the time.

Totally agree its no laughing matter, i use barrier creams also in the events where gloves cant be worn.

A very long time ago I did a Chemistry degree, mixed in with drinking - a common pastime for chemists, it seemed. Anyway, one of the lecturers pointed out that being a chemist is the only profession in which you wash your hands before you go for a wazz...

Sounds like he was a bit wrong, but you get my drift...
