lol - not after all that painting! ... don't forget to put some handcream on after, the mix will leave skin feeling extra dry. Good luck. Sylvx

Hi Carol :):) If you have any nail varnish remover, that is an acetate that may remove it, again rinse well after using it. Colin :):)

Any white spirit will do.... water won't shift it. If it's on skin you could try putting a squirt of washing up lliquid on your hands,, then rubbing them in salt. The mix usually gets the worst off skin.... Then rinse well obviously. Sylvxx

apparently washing up liquid will get some of it off but not as good as turps. Hubby just said petrol will work as well but hes not sure thats a good idea unless you have a mower to get it out of

I've run out of turps and as usual have got more paint on me than on the brush--is there any other way of shifting it? carol
