Getting silicone off of the fingers?

[echoofformless]

My tube exploded and it's all over my hands. I've been peeling it all night but it's taking forever and not doing a complete job.

get yourself some molasses (or honey), and white sugar, and make a thick gooey paste with it.. use it as an abrasive on your hands, it should take most if not all of the silicone off.. with the additional perk that it's pretty good for your skin anyway.

oops!!!! lots of soap and a little bit of water!

does anyone in your house have gardening soap or any type of soap that is 'chunky'/abrasive

2 tips that i have found are, hot water and toothpaste, WD40, gasoline, and simply...wait

if they are sticky and you need to do something rub your hands with dryer lint...

Ugh, I've done the same thing myself. I'm patient, and just waited till it came off on its own. In fact, I have black Krylon Fusion slowly coming off one hand right now.
One thing that will work is Goo Gone, or any of those sticky thing removers. Just make sure you wash with soap and water when you are done, and then use a hand cream. That stuff isn't great for your skin, but it works.

acetone is HORRIBLE for your skin, and to breathe, but in small quantities it won't do much damage, and it is really good at getting waterproof adhesives off. Haven't actually tried it on silicone. I'm wondering, will holding ice until your hands are really cold cause it to get brittle and flakey and come off easy?

GOJO Heavy Duty Pumice Hand Cleaner or something similar always works for me.
