    Tape Glue on Hands

    I haven't bought shop hand cleaner yet, so I tried various other cleaners and had adequate results with toothpaste.

    Different solvents might do the job. Whatever you have on hand.

    Diesel fuel or kerosene.
    Alcohol ... denatured,rubbing alcohol, a bottle of dry gas
    Gasoline ( risky stuff )
    Paint thinner,turpentine, mineral spirits
    Spray carb cleaner
    Goof Off
    Lighter fluid, naptha,
    Acetone , fingernail polish remover

    The idea is to use something that dissolves the glue stuck to your hands.

    If you prefer abrasive cleaners like toothpaste .... a bar of Lava hand soap works well cause it's got pumice in it.

    Product called (glue begone) original intent was removing stickers from glass but it will even remove pine trees sap. Find it at the home cleaning product section of a larger store.
