Default Funny feeling in hands after "odorless mineral spirits"

This one comes under the ounce of prevention rule.


I couldn't agree more. There is NO reason to take a chance with this
stuff, or any other thinners or solvents.

You can go to HF and get a ton (100?) of nitrile gloves for $10. They
are powdered so they actually come out of the box even after you have
them a month or three.

All solvents are dangerous, and with gloves so cheap, there is no
reason not to use them.

As a word of warning and food for thought: ever see an old
professional painter?

If so, ever see one that is a well man?

Do yourself a favor. Get the nitrile gloves on the cheap from HF, use
the hell out of them, and get some proper respiratory equipment to
protect yourself when using any solvents or solvent based materials.
