I did all the solvent waste soil, then solvent waste 2nd fix shower wastes etc in confined rooms in Doughtys Mill apartment building Lincoln for 4 months solid, i was as high as a Kite.

 

[Blackcatgas]

Laco in eyes is a good one too.

 

[WaterTight]

Hmm, not tried it in the eyes. Sounds soothing.

Expandable foam on skin/hair is the hardest thing to remove in the world.

 

[so-solar]

agreed, expanding foam is terrible stuff once on your hands it is a nightmare to remove!

 

[tweakyboy]

When you get Kingspans glycol on your hands it makes your hands feel like they have been stuck in water for the past year!

 

[dontknowitall]

Don't know why the thought occurred to me but expanded foam must be quite lethal squirted up an exhaust pipe ...

Now what car does Tony Blair drive?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Blair once had the same car has me a rover 75 but he had the mega bucks limo version i expect hes got something newer now LOL i agree on the filla foam bugger to get off

 

[Dannypipe]

Denso tape, get the crap from that on your hands and you know about it. I use gloves with that stuff everytime. Everything else I say bring it on!

Those builders wipes are pretty amazing. I always have a tub in the van. Cleans silicon a treat, and even wet expanding foam will come off with em.

Solvent weld is a different story, a soak in the bath tends to be the answer, that or managing to not get it over your mitts....which can be tricky when you want to wipe away the excess and dont want to use your T-shirt!

The cans used to be steel so when it came near the end you could flatten the can to get the brush to reach the bottom. Since they now come in plastic cans i find myself sticking my finger in to scrape out the dregs. Gives me something to do a night picking it off.
Best way to get expanding foam off your hands is sandpaper or rough concrete
















Just kidding

[buffy27]

we were in a crawl space for 2 hours doing wastes under a huge country house .when we came up we were wired ..i went for a walk down the fields for 20mins to straighten myself out a bit ..when i came back it seemed like i was gone for hours !!! it was so weird ...

another day i was doing wastes over my head for condense off air con units and knocked a full pot of pipe glue over my head ..i got some fright it ran down my nose and around my eye sockets but never touched my eyes ..i got a buddy to do the cleaning up and very carefully !!! it was a horrible feeling to have the glue on my face and in me hair ..
the stuff i hate is tech 7 ..the black outdoor stuff !!! ahhhhh and red stag ..some messy ****e ...

 

[Discreet-Heat]

haha red stag here too an old boy i used to work with had a trick he would get a handful of salt or sugar cant remember which and then put some handwash on it and wash hands as normal the salts grittyness did not bad in lifting whatever was on his hand.Sort of like a home made swarfega lol.

i got la-co in a cut - quite painful, this then developed to bad eczema which was on almost every finger - pretty damn painful, the eczema then split and solvent weld got into that - jesus F*****g mother F****r, my word id prefer a kick to the balls anyday. i now use gloves with laco till the damn eczema goes away.

Similar to this...A good trick I've used if your out of Swarfega for oily dirt, is a scoop of marg or butter plus some sugar. Rub it in works great. just try to scoop the marg out with something other than your dirty hands!
