I thought that woodworkers would have more experience with this sort
of thing.

I had to wash some parts in odorless mineral spirits (which is not
really odorless). I mostly used my right hand to grap parts from the
tank. Now I have a "funny feeling" whenever I would fold my hand to
make a fist, as if the hairs on the back of the palm rise.

It cannot possibly be good? Any comments? Gloves seem to be a must?

You might want to take that hand over to the local urgent care center.
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.

Gloves would be good for next time. The solvent has removed the oil from
your skin. A little hand cream will take care of it.

Just listen to CW I have used OMS for Years same thing just wash your hands
with soap and water and apply some hand lotion, or just wash and do nothing
it will go away quickly.

Make it a habit to read first and play with the chemicals after.
Google whatever the chemical is and MSDS. Pretty much anything you
wouldn't drink, you should wear gloves.

Now that is a pretty good rule of thumb.

Trip to H/F and $5 will get you a box of latex surgical gloves.

Add a couple of $ for nitrile.

Probably just sensitization.

More exposure will desensitize your skin. Rinse your hands daily in the
stuff, and soon you'll not feel a thing.

I'd get a funny feeling when making a fist and holding something tight. It
was a good feeling though.

I agree with CW that hand lotion should take care of the problem
although I'm still trying to figure out the "hairs on the back of the
palm" part. It sounds interesting! :-)

The kind doctors wear when doing prostrate exams in a neighbourhood
