WD-40 always gets it off my hands.
Carb cleaner works okay, but WD-40 works the best.

i use a d/a with 80 grit


no really most oils will help cut it.. if not did you try acetone? its a thinner for fiberglass anyway.. that should cut it if nothing else does.

Thanks for the help i think i'll try the angle grinder first. If that don't do it then maybe some WD.
Thanks guys

What ever doesn't come off with hand cleaner and water will usually wear off in a few days. Bonds to fingernails worse than flesh it seems.
