How do u get oil based paint of ur hands???

turpentine or gasoline then REALLY WASH THEM!How do u get oil based paint of ur hands???
Wet oil-based paints and varnishes can be removed by using mineral spirits. Turpentine is a little stronger, but works better on dried paint: You should always work with the weakest chemical thinner that will remove the paint you are using, for the sake of your skin, your lungs, and the environment. Indeed, wash your hands well after working with ANY chemicals. I used to paint at construction sites for a living.How do u get oil based paint of ur hands???
If the paint is wet, it can be removed with any gentle soap (like dish soap) and water. If the paint is dry to the touch but still soft, it can be removed by rubbing gently with vegetable oil or motor oil (yup, like from a car). Then, wash the oil off with soap and water. If the paint is dry, there are several soaps available at art stores which will dissolve the paint on you or your clothes.





DO NOT USE turpentine. It can give you a bad chemical burn if you are not careful!
Try washing with plain old Borax. That is what I use in the studio. If you need something a little stronger use Turpenoid not turpentine.
turpentine and then soap and water and then lotion to prevent dryness.
