Cleaning paint etc from your hands with lacquer thinner seeps into your skin's pores ( I did this for years ) it is carried into the blood stream and over time builds up as a toxin in the bladder, kidney and liver. ... With my past history I have read up on a lot of this . It's a must to wear gloves
I like working with lacquer and with lacquer thinner, but I discovered a long time ago that I did not like thinner on my hands, so I wear rubber gloves. Didn't know that it could do harm through skin though. I clean paint from my hands with that orange mechanics hand cleaner, or I just leave it on. It falls off within a day or so.
