At least you can still crap....

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.

You have to really know what you're doing when working w/ fiberglass. Here one of my guy's shows the proper way to grind.

Yup, that cigarette he's smoking just makes the glass dust taste better

Yea I know what you mean. I'm a warehouser for some chemical companies. Alumnabrite and caustic degreasers don't give you a second chance.

[MetalBrosRacing]

This is a painful thread, chem burns are the absolute worst.

Good Lord! Glenn is crazy, you could put a countdown clock next to that guy for the amount of time he is taking off his life in that picture.

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! 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.

His current working conditions are much better than his past personal habits. He sees it as rehab - haha.

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.

Don't let OSHA see him doing that.

Our industry has been one of the most studied and so far if you do not drink the stuff all is well.

WD-40 works for that and Lestoil.

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.

Those Egyptians are used to that bright sun, they figure they could handle the welding, lol. What work did you do with Midnight Express? Nice boats.
