How do I wash off plumber's putty from my hands?

[T]

Hi All,

I got some plumber's putty on my hands by accident. My
hard smell of it pretty bad. And it ain't washing off
with soap.

I need to do some cooking and I don't wan this stuff on
my hands when I handle food. Any secret to removing this
stuff?


Many thanks,
-T

Turpentine is the go to removal product!

Yikes! Anything not so harsh?

Go to any Walmart, big box or auto parts store and purchase some GOJO® hand cleaner. It will remove just about anything from your hands. ^_^

Thank you!

[Ed Pawlowski]

Try mineral spirits. You may get it off with linseed oil and they you
can wash that off with soap.

[T]

Hi Ed,

I don't have any turpentine, mineral spirits or linseed oil.
But that gave me an idea. I do have heavy mineral oil, USP.
That worked! Thank you!

I am going to do a follow up with Enviro Cleanz just in case.

I was fun trying to get the mineral oil off, but that was edible.
It fell to dish washing liquid after a good wipe off.

Now to cook. Zucchini fear me again!

It will also leave your skin soft after rinsing.
Sugar adds roughage.

I worked not only with my brain but my hands and both of them got dirty from time to time. I still haven't found a reliable way to clean my dirty mind. ^_^

That "Orange flavored goop" they sell in the home improvement
stores has worked really well on whatever I've tried to wash off.
IIRC, it has a little abrasive in it.

Yes, Goo Gone and similar orange products shuld work. In the
meantime, wear surgical gloves when preparing food. I often wear
then anyway when prepariang food that I don't want to handle.

Only you dumb arse would think I was suggesting that. I pretty much wear
nitrile gloves whatever work I'm doing. Not for cooking though.

I read the health and safety instructions and I know what all the little
warning icons mean. I practice safe working procedures. I ventilate and
suck fumes away from me, like when I solder. I wear a mask when rubbing
down old lead paint and so on.

Guess which one of us is most likely to have a long and healthy
retirement.

Many years ago I saw what not doing so caused to gentlemen who didn't
take care with chemicals in photographic labs. Not pretty.

You can be tough and not fucking stupid. I recommend you try.

The disposables work out about 10p a pair from recollection. Try Amazon.

[BurfordTJustice]

Rub lead paint...LOL what a pathetic life you have.

We have an old house. Most of our housing isn't wood and roofing felt,
like yours. It lasts for hundreds of years. Lead paint dust will give
you a stinking headache. We conserve at least as much as we replace.
It's a character not a cost thing. You Yanks love to come see our
history. That history is everywhere, not just in the palaces. I live
with it everyday. I'm off to do some work in the cart shed and stable in
a minute. It's 100 years older than the house. I often wonder about the
men who worked there and the horses. A little bit of them lives on in
the lime wash, the oak, the tar. You seem quite impoverished by your
view of the world and have I spotted a touch of envy?

[BurfordTJustice]

Wny envy for a Pathetic life style??

No idea. If that's what you think why do you keep on trying to prove it
to yourself. Lack of confidence? Doubt even? Most of the world is
interested in how others live. Personally I've learnt a lot from
watching others but you seem fixated on proving your way is the best
way. Bully for you. Whatever makes you happy. I won't share with you in
future and I recommend you stick fingers in your ears, close your eyes
and shout lalala at the top of your voice every time you see the word
Pooh.

Wanker.

Boiled or raw? Years ago I stopped using canola oil when I noticed the
smell arising from the frying pan was similar to that when I was rubbing
linseed oil into axe handles.

I grew up in a house that was historic by US standards. 'square' and
'plumb' were two concepts I was not exposed to. I suppose it was good
practice cutting trapezoidal glass panes and other touches.

My father enclosed a porch and paneled it with knotty pine. It came out
well but the molding around the ceiling was unfinished when he died.
Cutting compound compound (if that makes sense) bevels in crown molding
was more than his patience could bear. It enriched my vocabulary somewhat.

[Frank]

Composition of plumbers putty is said to be clay and linseed oil. I
would think cooking oil would even remove it.

I have these gloves. I need to fix something that was leaking in a

[p-0''0-h the cat (coder)]

I use raw. I forget why but I did research it. Like you I use it on
tools with wooden handles. From recollection woodworm hate it and of
course it's a prerequisite for willow cricket bats.

Hate cricket btw. So boring.

Patrick Ryan's 'How I Won the War' wasn't served well by the movie that
was derived from it. iirc, whenever the wogs showed up with some request
or complaint the Army officer would say 'That wouldn't be cricket.' When
the poor fools asked 'What is cricket?' an explanation would be launched
that would last until they got discouraged and left.

I've never seen cricket and have no desire to. It can be no worse than
baseball. The last ballgame I witnessed was about 60 years ago and came
about when a local sausage manufacturer included a free pass in each
package of sausages. I did go to the local stadium once -- Willie Nelson
was playing there.

I never could hit the ball and my reaction to hard flying objects is to
get the hell out of the way, so my schooldays enforced baseball playing
usually had me so far out in the field I seldom bothered to come in when
the teams changed, to everyone's great relief. It scarred me for life.

And now the wogs play cricket better than the colonial power that taught
them to play it.

Oh, it is. Much worse. People have been known to fall asleep while
playing cricket!

in britain it is the girls and young children that play

I have used a lot of plumbers putty. It's just a putty based on an oil,
which is like linseed oil. It's pretty darn harmless. If anything it
might add some needed oil to dry skin. I can understand not wanting to
get it into your food, but it's not hard to remove. Any degreaser and
some hot water will take it off. Dawn dish detergent comes to mind. Put
the Dawn on your hands straight, rub well, and rinse with hot water.

Or use those hand cleaners like Goop or Gojo made for mechanics.
Everyone who does auto or home repair should have some of that stuff at
home. It's cheap and it works!

[SlimD]

As a plumber I’ve found white spirit gets it off your hands easily and then wash them in some washing up liquid. My skin is NOT sensitive though as I have my hands in all sorts in the course of my work and not much affects it. You may want to reconsider if your skin is sensitive.
