   Paint Thinner works great.

   Better yet, wear gloves.

   (I just used the Dark Mission Brown - even with gloves, I got some on me and use paint thinner to get it off. Then I use a hand mosturizer to undo the damage of the paint thinner).

   Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with an ax.

   mark,

     I thought of wearing gloves but it just doesn't feel as comfortable to me using gloves to get a good feel for the coverage (weird I guess). Yeah, makes sense to use paint thinner and I do have it already in my shop. Thanks for the suggestion...Regards,

   You might try a barrier cream.   You rub it into your hands before you start a dirty job, and it prevents nasty stuff from sticking to you.   http://www.manoproducts.com/ is one.  You can find similar products with the fiberglassing supplies in most auto stores.

   Try one of the mechanic's gel hand cleaners, Go-Jo, Orange Goop, Fast Orange, etc. They all work for me.

   As said, paint thinner and then good soapy water.

   I'd get the wife to do it...

   EDIT:: I just cut the fingers off of the rubber gloves.. Hard to get on but works for me...

   "Painter's Wipes" might work.  I use them to get glue, Watco, some other stuff off.  They're sold at Lowe's in  one of those dispensing tube-like things.  In the paint department (surprise, surprise).
