In Response To: Epoxy: How to get it out of your hair (Chris Ayles)

I keep waterless handcleaner (SBS 30, I think is the label) around for stuff like that. It works well for oil paints, too (no need to break out the spirits or thinners).

: Last night, whilst trying to glue a cockpit rim into place, I got epoxy on
: the back of my head. That is, epoxy mixed with fast hardener, that had
: just started to kick.

: I know I am not the first to experience this, so here's how I averted a very
: short haircut: 1. Rub and comb Fast Orange hand cleaner into affected
: area.
: 2. In the shower, thoroughly lather and comb with mint-oil shampoo.
: 3. Rinse and dry.
: 4. Put an old pillowcase on your pillow just in case.

: I still can't believe it worked; in fact, I think my hair is particularly
: lustrous today. Maybe I should approach System 3 about marketing their
: stuff as a hair-care product...

: Happy new year,
