esantoro Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 I spilled some spirit dye and got a good amount on my hands during clean-up. Is there a method or good soap to cleaning dye off human skin? Thanks, Ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com

Members celticleather Posted July 30, 2009 Members Report Posted July 30, 2009 Ed After my disastrous day with dye spillages, I found that denatured alcohol (methylated spirit), followed by white spirit, followed by a week's holiday - snorkelling in the sea - worked quite well. I now have pristine pinkies . . . until the next time! Terry Quote When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody
ShirleyT Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Turtle Feathers carries a great hand cleaner - ReDuRan - that works great and is on sale right now. We've been using it for a while and find it takes dye right off of our girly hands just great. And just like Brylcream - a little dab'll do ya. http://turtlefeathers.net/ http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/cgdye.html Quote Shirley Aspen Leather Workshop Aspen, CO
esantoro Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I'll have to get some of the ReDuRan. It's good to know about denatured alcohol, as I should have some on hand. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com

Members $$hobby Posted July 31, 2009 Members Report Posted July 31, 2009 80 grit sandpaper you can use some IPA, however it wont get it all off. i just let it wear off. it will take a couple days unless you dont wash often.

Members Deb59 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Report Posted August 1, 2009 Try a little cream rinse hair conditioner. It helps in a pinch. It may not get all of it off, but it works fairly well in a pinch. Quote
Members westtxcowboy1979 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Report Posted August 1, 2009 If you can was your hands pretty quick after getting the dye on them. Gojo orange hand cleaner works good. If you have dry skin use tide powder to scrub with. It works for me. Quote
