I'm not sure if this has ever been posted before...but awhile ago when i used to grow big...and it was time to trim the buds...instead of using your hands to hold it and getting your fingers all sticky and stinky...i started to use the gloves that doctors wear....i would go half the day using 1 set then after lunch i would use new ones...and then at night put them in a drawer...when i would come in the morning i wold just peel the finger hash away from the gloves leaving none behind at all..and none on your fingers...after i was done all 300 plants, i would have a ball that was about 2 golfballs together, maybe slightly bigger actually...hope some of you try it and have good success like i did with the gloves.

I thought we all used gloves/ I couldnt image not using them lol I use like 12 pairs at a time per manicure and I keep 4 or 6 pairs of trimmers at hand or else they would stick shut after first couple hours lol.I have seen the auto manicures but until I try one I cant spend that money on them

I thought of the gloves and then forgot lol... never got around to using any but now I definitely will. This whole time i've just gotten glue fingers but no problem... after my first time with glue-fingers i tried bleach and it gets rid of the sap immediately. The latex probably works best obviously but if you ever find yourself in a pinch for some bizzar reason... just wash your hands with bleach for a few seconds afterwards, just make sure you wash it off well since bleach can be some nasty stuff.

Yea latex gloves are the way to go. I was using gasoline to clean off my fingers before.

ahahahahaha ya gasoline is the perfect non harmful cleaner, just great for removing that air polluting, deadly if swallowed, flammable, cancer causing resin. wait i think i got those two confused rofl. seriously why gasoline though? the stuff is bad for you, and costs way more than rubbing alcohol or goobegone

Ya, I don't understand it either.
I use to have a boss that used gasoline to wash his hands after work
He swore it was the best thing for getting grease off his hands.
I would politely refuse and grab the "HAND"cleaner, but that's just me.

I used to me a mechanic of sorts.. I used to clean my hands with gas or contact cleaner. BAD idea don't do it. Especially the contact cleaner!

Bleach for a few seconds does the trick but isopropyl/rubbing alcohol would do nothing. Of course, I only used 70%... but since it did nothing that i noticed, i would assume the 91% is useless too.

wow the things ppl put on the largest organ of the body.... sound not so healthy

i always use

1 part iso alch
1 part vegitable oil
1 part liquid dish soap
1 part salt

it mixes up to a thick but slipery liquid/paste and u just use it like u would hand cleaner. rub a bunch on ur hands and scrub off the resin. dont use water.
the salt stays solid in alch/oil and soap as long as there is no water. and it acts as a pumis that works the resin into the solvents

then all u got do is rinse off in warm water the soap will activate with the water and leave ur hands healthy clean and maby a lil exfoliated lol

If you put your non-powdered latex gloves in the freezer when your done it makes the trics peel right off......just my 2 cents.
