After a session basing, I usually have epoxy glue all over my fingers, and right unpleasant 'tis too. My cure is to take the coffee grounds reposing in the macchinetta from the coffee I've been pouring down my throat with a funnel while modelling, and rub them well over the skin over the bin. I have to wash coffee off after that, but it doesn't need industrial solvents.
Coffee grounds are also superb sources of nitrates, if you have a garden.
Pumice stone takes off pretty well anything (including skin). And they last for ever - unless you drop them on a stone floor. :'( :'( :'(
I use a bit of green basing sawdust and rub my hand together: takes all the gue with it ;)
I don't pour glue over my hands - I find it saves time... :d

Avaunt thee, Satan! :D
When I was working at Southern Water, we used cyanoacrylate all the time for gluing stuff together, with the inevitable result that at least once a week someone would glue themselves to something. We had a good stock of debonder for those eventualities. On a few occasions I'd managed to glue myself to the cyano tube. My personal best however was when I glued myself to the cyano tube, reached across and grabbed the debonder, only to find that I'd glued myself to that too. Wandering into the office with cyano glued to one hand, debonder to the other, and asking if anyone could help me resulted only in gales of laughter. :(

In the 60s, you could have sold that as a movie plot ;)

How you going to catch me, given you will be stuck to figures, furniture, FSN...
When my mum stuck her hands together my dad took her to Halfords, as they would be quicker than going to A&E. That is how an engineer thinks...

It'd be nice to have someone real to talk to.

The sad news is that it's not a crab hat. I'm a crab haemorrhoid.
