New to trimming? Washing your hands and not using gloves.

[Ponky]

if you get your hands covered in plant resin it basic and straight forward. But if no one tells you, you never know. Cover in canola or olive oil. If you have some salt or sugar for grit toss that on there. Get most of it and rub it off on the old paper towel. Then dish soap. Oil again and soap one more time. Bam. Done. If you canola oil and wash your hands with soap before you trim. It's even easier to clean up after.

How about cleaning off the lenses of cheap loops and scopes? Probably plastic lenses.

rubbing alcohol will remove resin as well. I'll have to try the olive oil method.

The Perrel hand sanitizer everyone has around nowadays cuts it pretty good to.

Lemon or orange essential oil and voila... easily done.

Any kind of base (I think, not a chemist) that breaks oil bonds will work. The stronger, the faster.

Rubbing alchohol

We use baby oil and then soap on our hands, alcohol on the scissors.

Thank you for such a simple, but in turn really useful advice. My most favorite and probably the main hobby is growing various plants. In addition to the usual flowerbed, I also have a large aquarium in which I grow various plants. Every day I spend about seven hours in my little garden. I use special tools and gloves to work with flowers. Although recently, due to poor-quality gloves, I started having problems with the skin on my hands. And after reading on https://medrux.com/sterile-vs-non-sterile-gloves/ , I found out that it turns out I'm not only using the wrong type of gloves for gardening but I'm also allergic to certain type of gloves. Who would have thought that gloves could be allergic?

coconut oil works great too

collect it and smoke it..
the middle black piece is from hand trimming with fingers, wild thailand finger hash..

 

[Allegedly]

So true, we always have spray vegetable or canola oil. I use that, then dawn.

I like saving finger/scissor hash but if my fingers are just sticky I just drip some rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and start rubbing and twisting till they're not as sticky lol

Anyone who doesn't collect finger/scissor hash should be beaten with all their own fan leaves

I just recently discovered scissor hash what an awesome treat.
