Hand cleansers

Just wondering what most of you guys use for cleaning hands of stray paint, epoxy, and sealers?

Use rubbah gloves. I was washing epoxy with lacquer thinner, but that's dumb. Thru the skin and into the liver. Liver's reserved for cocktails so rubbah gloves it is. If'n your paint is acrylic, hot soap and water will do it.

My fingers are almost permanently black lately. I can't figure out how to clean them. And I did try lacquer thinner too. Been using the Orange stuff with pumice. It's a combination of: Oil, stainless blackmundge, and polyurethane glue.
I could tell you how to clean them Scott, but the unfortunate side affect is going blind

Best thing for getting you're hands clean,
LOTS of time on the ocean!!!
Nothing cleans my hands quite as good as salt water!
