    I am wondering if there are any teams in Florida that have a gallon or 2 of old nitro laying around, It works wonders for getting carbon fiber resin of you hands....and hair.......
    I'd gladly make a small trip to pick it up.

    Please shoot me an e-mail or call if you have some, Thanks.

    Your going to wash your hair with nitro? Probably should avoid sparks and open flames.

    And you might want to take a peek at the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for nitro. If you do, I think you'lld change your mind....

    Nitro

    Hi Guys, Just doing what I was told and it works great, no spontanius human combustion....yet....but theres always hope. Hey Jim, I know your good w/ carbon so I'll take your word for it and give that a shot.

    Thanks guys, now I can finish the bodywork and make her pretty. Is it weird that whenever I hear a song about a beautiful woman I think about my car?.....

    Thanks guys,
    Trev

    Mineral spirits works for me, as long as the resin is not hard yet.

    And to add when I work with glass or carbon in addition to the gloves I also use an old long sleeve flanel shirt to keep it off my hair and arms.
