I got dried oil based paint off my hands with soap, water, and a long shower. Also lots of scrubbing with a loofa.

My favorite is GoBeGone.. It takes only moments to remove the goo.

Goo Gone stinks! I use UnDo. It evaporated fast and loosens anything stuck or sticky. Non toxic too.

Olive oil.

I learned this after taking a wreath-making class. We had sap all over our hands and arms. I was shocked when I saw that all they had for cleanup was a big jug of olive oil and a roll of paper towels, but holy cow it actually worked, and worked well! So now I use it for cleaning up after doing anything sticky. I pour about a quarter-sized amount in my palm, and I've taken to adding some sugar for the scrubbing effect. Works beautifully, I'm not absorbing toxic chemicals in my skin, and my hands are soft afterwards.

Acetone will take June Tailor spray off tables. Some nail polish remover is acetone, some is not.

I have had good luck with Murphy’s Oil Soap. It removed the overspray from my counter and my hands!0

YES!!! Thanks! I used WD40 for getting off my hand and then cleaned out all the goop that was preventing my can from spraying.
