How to get jb weld off skin

I don't find J-B Weld to be as wonderful as some others, but I use is occasionally for non-critical applications where nothing else works except more expensive products or methods.

Unless you're very careful you'll get some of it on your hands (and maybe other areas of skin).  I've found the hand cleaner used by mechanics works for this.  I use a product named FAST Orange because it's readily available at my nearby auto supply store, but I imagine almost any such hand cleaner will work. If you don't have hand cleaner or it doesn't work, try acetone or lacquer thinner.  I clean my hands soon after I get the stuff on them.  In my uses I'm through working with it in about 15-20 minutes and I try to remove it within twenty minutes after that.  You may be able to wait longer but if you wait 'til it cures it may not come off. 

Another J-B Weld tip:  The stuff keeps practically forever, but you may not be able to get the caps off the tubes after one use.  If you dab a little Vaseline on the threads (I use a Q-Tip) you'll probably have better luck getting the tube open next time you want to use some. 

The people saying you can't, or use a belt sander 😂, are surely being silly.

And that's ok, because I'M the idiot that didn't use gloves! Lol

But for the record, isopropyl alcohol and a greenie weenie worked awesome for me.

Granted, that shit is nasty and I won't forget the gloves next time.

Need to learn how to remove JB Weld epoxy from your skin and other materials such as plastic, car paint, and metal like aluminum, then look no further.

We'll be honest we were a little apprehensive to test this one out, but the outcome was great!

Alright guys, heres another "How To Remove," video but this time we answered the request for JB Weld Epoxy.

As always, we like to say get it while it's still tacky to help dissolve the JB Weld and take it off not when it's cured, and as you can see in this video we did just that.

We went a head and used our Grip Clean Heavy Duty Hand Wipes to start and got some pretty good results.  Then we got greedy and went in for a second test and used our Grip Clean All Natural Hand Soap Formula to see how that would perform.

Watch the video to see what happens next!
