Purple hand
Author: sum (FL) I accidentally knocked over a can of purple primer and in my attempt to catch it in the air I end up getting this stuff on my hand. So my fingers and part of the hand is now looking dark like it's been bruised up. What will clean it off? Mineral spirits? Ethanol? Hydrogen Peroxide? I mean something won't kill me not Sulphuric Acid.

Re: Purple hand
Author: Fixitangel (NC) Another poster informed that PVC cleaner will remove purple stains from flooring; I tried it once and IT WORKED. Got to work fast, that purple stuff dries quickly; otherwise it's scrub a dub in a hot shower/tub.
