It is nasty stuff on your hands. I don't have any advice. Gas isn't even all that effective. Maybe try some acetone(nail polish remover)

*Remove as much foam as possible from your skin. Try using a pumice stone or nail file. *Rub petroleum jelly or mineral/baby oil into the foam.

*Cover the area with plastic wrap.

*And allow to sit for several minutes.

*Gently try to push the foam off the skin using your finger.

Wd 40 will work in a pinch.

I know the feelin bro. I got it on my hands when I was using it to fill a hole in my basement wall. I had to let it wear off.

usually have to let it wear off - takes 3-4 to be completely gone.... try not and get you hands dirty otherwise your hands will be black until it wears off

MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) will take it off and it's not real hard on your skin as far as being an irritant. You can get it at WalMart or any hardware store.

Don't get it on anything else though, because it will damage finishes, plastic and paint in an instant.

I got some of it on my hands before, then I didn't wipe it off right away.I ended up doing yard work, my hands were brown/black for about 4 days.

The only thing that I tried that really worked was nail polish remover.Sat there scrubbing for about 10 min. per finger, washed with dawn lots of times.Then the rest came off naturally a few days later.
