Removing Hammerite from ones hand

[Graham.J]

I put a coat of hammerite on my handbrake lever as some of the paint had come off and it was looking a bit shabby, then went off to finish painting off the bootbox replacement cover thingy (which looks sh*t anyway because somehow fine grit has got onto the paint and stuck there )

Went to go and try and sort out the hazard warning light/button thing, go to sit in the seat and by force of habit put one hand on the sill and one on the handbrake to help lower me in........ OH BUGGER!!!

Now I have a nice coating of black hammerite on my hand, tried my best to get it off but it's not shifting.

Any ideas??

Not that desperate to get it off

Speaking from experience there Andy

Not got any pummice stone.

Swarfega has got a bit of it off so may just keep trying that for a while.

Wont that be a bit tricky to operate with just one hand, I normally use two

Ah white spirit, forgot about that, will go and see if there's any in the garage.

Cheers!!!

Bu**ger, don't have any white spirit, Dad must've pinched it for something.

I've been wondering why the white spirit hasn't been shifting the hammerite from the brush, will go and get some thinner stuff when one of the parents gets in from work.

Cheers guys

Well I had another go with the swarfega this evening and MOST of it's gone now, just the odd little bit left.

I had to stop as my hand was red raw from the nail brush......was a tad hard, like using a wire brush.

Will have another go in the morning.

Thanks for the help and errr.......entertainin replies
