Did you sit in a bath and soak or did you stand in a shower?Originally Posted by Ashley in Jersey
I've found pure friction works better than soap.
Soap does nothing but make one smell pretty.

surely that must burn the skin dosent sound 2 good sorry . by the way nice pic lovr grace .LONDON
I stood in the shower. However I feel 4 twenty minute showers when most of the time was spent trying to get this stuff of shoudl be sufficent enough. I am not worried about it anymore. It will come off when it feels like it. The residue isn't painful and the blistering is bearable and getting better. I wont be using it again though.
Ibuki, WADR, please, please. Dana and I recommended lighter fluid. It is not carcinogenic (well, maybe if you drink it regularly). It is not irritating (although it shouldn't be put on open sores, etc - but that isn't what was being suggested), and it evaporates in seconds, it is not absorbed into the skin. It's so benign that you can (as people I know did back in adolescence) pour it all over your hand and light it without burning yourself (put it out quickly, though).
You squirt some on a paper towel and rub off the adhesive which breaks down almost instantly and comes off on the paper towel. And do it quickly, because it evaporates so fast.
And I'm not talking theory here, I have used it for removing stubborn goo and adhesives from most everything, including skin, for decades.
So, it's low flammability, if you do ignite it it won't hurt you unless you're too dim to put it out within 30 s or so, and you don't have to wash it off because it evaporates completely.
Acetone and gasoline, fo' sho', are another ball of hydrocarbon compounds entirely...
...or maybe not. Who knows?

I knows.
I know that sticky gummy substances are easily broken down by these things, and that the skin is designed to keep things out, and that petrol distillates and the like evaporate fairly quickly.
But my point is why go through the trouble of finding some, and you know it should only be released in a well ventilated area.
Fumes are ick.
I also know that I got caulk on my hands today and after it dried I just scraped it off with my nails, then washed in a sink.
Not all of it came off, but I imagine some good hot and wet rubbing will get it off.
I am just suggesting a logical alternative.

As someone who has a track record for stupidity, I figured I'd give it another go round.
Tonight I taped up and hung out again. Again I am all red and lots of glue residue. I was taped up for about 5 hours. When I was done, I couldn't get the tape to come off, it was that sticky. Lots of pulling and biting my lip finally got it off. Left residue everywhere again, but I am not too worried about that. It will come off on its own.
I really liked the look of having boobs, but there has got to be something else I can use. Any suggestions?
If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now.
[size=3]Actone works great. Not the fake crap, but the real deal. I had to buy another bottle. Withing 5 minutes it was all gone. the residue, not the redness. But it felt cold on my skin but quickly evaporated and didnt sting a bit. I wholeheartedly would reccomend ACETONE to everyone for this purpoes. [/size]

Hmm, this is a little ex post facto, but
a. Being a heavy smoker I keep a topped off Zippo in the 5th pocket of my Levi's, and when I had an overflow two weeks ago I had a super painful rash in the area that scabbed over. So I'm with Justina on that one.
b. Acetone is great and all, but in the long run it actually gets absorbed through the skin, collects in your brain, and makes you go horribly insane (well, I can't confirm this since I was already probably insane before trying acetone, but that's what my Chem teacher said).
c. They actually have a medical term for those little tape boogers that get left behind (they have medical terms for everything, even tape boogers and gooches). The term is "wisk", and it's a problem for people that deal with the elderly, since they go to the hospital alot, and in many cases have paper-thin skin that actually comes off with the tape (ouch). So they use something that's called "Wisk Remover", and it's a hypo-allergenic soap based solvent that gently removes the wisk. Not as dramatic or macho as acetone or gasoline, or even as effective, but it's better than soap and won't make you insane.
d. If you can't get your hands on wisk remover, I've had some success in the past with Goo Gone (not sure if it's the same as Gojo). It's basically purified orange oils, so it should be fairly non-toxic, plus I've used to even remove white clown makeup from my black clothes.
Ya, I know I'm already late on this thread Ash, but ah well, maybe you should go watch a Girls Gone Wild vid or something

...to remove the glue goo...use eucalyptus oil on cotton wool.

Sorry to hear you are such a wuss. lol. But seriously Wuss.

I dont think that I have much to worry about that. The sheer quanity that would probably be needed to make that happen is more than I'll probably ever see in my life time. Plus, who said insanity is bad? The insane sure seem to be having alot of fun.

Where in the world would I find wisk remover? And why lose the drama from using chemicals that might hurt you. Where is the fun in that?

Gojo is industrial hand cleaner generally used by auto mechanics. Goo gone is a totally different product. I use gojo in my wash to get heavy grease off of my clothes, as I am a moron and can't look at auto grease without getting it all over me.

Hehe, I'm not the one who started the "Help me with my owie" threadBut since you're He-Man and all, go ahead and smear honey on your chest and hang out with bears, that might get the wisk out too. I've been trying to track down a wisk remover retailer, but no luck so far. You can always just call up a medical supply place and see if they carry it. Not sure what it costs, I always used to get it for free. They might even have something that works just as well but just isn't marketed that way. I know with convalescent homes, alot of times they use a substance officially known as "Composition C" as a deep acting skin moisturizer. It turns out it's really Crisco shortening (thus the "C"), but that's hush hush.
Uhm, I figured since you always had your hand in there, the squirrels would have been scared away already. You might want to try luring it out with the peanuts you keep in your pocket.
