Wear gloves. AND...don't tell me you can't do delicate work with gloves on. I do surgery all day long wearing them.
Neurosurgeons can work on you BRAIN wearing gloves, so don't try to tell me you can't work with small bolts/nuts/washers wearing them.

I think i am too. Whenever i get the stuff on my arms i get all these weird red lines for a day or too. Although i can tell the three apart by taste.
I have a pic somewhere of my eye after some oil dropped into it. Felt fine, but it looked disgusting. P.S. JB weld does NOT taste like chocolate, just incase anyone was wondering.
