Resin aint nothin compared to Zep indusrial orange gel degreaser. We use it to clean asphalt off of parts. If left on the skin for any length of time it burns worse than a leaking Zippo in your pocket. One evening I had a 4 inch pressurized hose blow and cover me head to toe with warm AC. On the way home I grabbed a bottle of this degreaser and jumped straight in the shower knowing that this was the only thing besides diesel that was going to cut the stuff I was covered with. Within minutes I relaized just how bad I F'ed up. Id honestly rather roll naked in hot coals than cover myself with that orange stuff again.
Here is the spot where I sat, after fixing it up:sifone:
This is a painful thread, chem burns are the absolute worst.
I had a buddy with a quart of resin between his legs. He had on shorts. This was in the early 80's so they were short shorts. Lets just say his package was covered in the stuff. We heard some screaming when he was washing that off! :D I ussually just let the stuff harden and peal it off. Sucks ripping off the hair but it seems to be better then the acetone.
The funny thing Joker is he will probably out last us all!!! LOL
Midnight Express had a guy that would grind without a mask all day he did that for years,The Egyptians I had welding at the factory would not wear a shield until I forced them.
I had a helper splash hot resin down my back ,the pants and shirt went into the acetone bucket and I finished in my underwear by the door. the front of the shop was very busy with traffic walking and cars both, the people there thought I was nuts.
Our industry has been one of the most studied and so far if you do not drink the stuff all is well.
I had a soap like system for Epoxy cleanup, Rst-5 it came with a heated 35 gallon bath that was kept at 110 F and you dumped in the soap concentrate at $112.00 a pop, pretty neat the way it was setup.
Anyway when talking to the supplier he told me a story about a guy using air pressure to dispense Epoxy from a drum (I have had these Einsteins working for me before)Anyway the poor drum (not being pressure rated)popped and covered the guy from head to his feet with Epoxy resin, They made a quick bath out of plastic film poured a gallon of this soap and added water then made him take a bath in it.
Presto One dumbazz good as new.
