Lloyd90 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Anyone know how to get this nasty stuff off ? Moved a load of logs painted with it today. My boss told my mate for me n him to put on gloves but he failed to mention it to me n he didnt bother. Its on my arms n a bit on my neck. Ive washed n scrubbed 99% of it off but it still burns like a b***h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 well if its the real thing they did ban it because its carcinogenic I believe but most people who worked on farms over the years have been covered in it. Keep washing it fairy liquid gets it off eventually. Not been burned by it personally so may just be you have delicate skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 It wont do me any harm right ? lol You didnt want any kids did you? Only kidding! Neat washing up liquid normally gets it off skin and the creosote you buy nowadays isnt carciogenic.That stuff was outlawed about a decade ago.

DSPUK Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Cor blimey I just painted me log store with real creosote and used engine oil - still got few gall stashed away - if it does you harm it works a treat - that's why fly spray don't kill flies anymore.

whiskymac Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Bin covered in it loads of times when I was younger. Try washing down with horse urine, then a liberal coating of tar, a dousing of feathers, six hail marys an you'll be good as gold.

Yup, we still have loads of it at home and can get it locally no problem. (agricultural use). There's nothing to beat it to be honest.

Pushkin Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Like an earlier poster said "Try Butter" that used to be the remedy for all things - just rub it in till it lifts the creaosote off your skin. Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
