Here are all the methods of getting tree sap off your hands that works every time.


[edit] Steps

  1. Mix a solution of warm water, salt, and about 3 drops of honey. Mix this together.
  2. Soak the "afflicted" area in this solution for 3 minutes. If you still have sap on them, soak for another 3 minutes.
  3. Let your hands just dry in the air
  4. Rub your hands together under hot water then dry them.


Alternately

  1. Grab some rubbing alcohol or on-the-go hand sanitizer.
  2. Apply to the affected area and rub vigorously. The alcohol in these should dissolve the resin.


Third Method

  1. Pour some vegetable oil or olive oil in your hand.
  2. Rub on the spots.
  3. Wash with soap and water.


[edit] Tips

  • Stay calm. Sap may seem harmless, but it can turn into a mess.


[edit] Warnings

  • Sap is very hard to get out of clothing or off furniture... try not to touch these things.
