Please can anyone help. I am currently typing this with my hands covered ion white bathroom sealant, and the more I've tried washing them, the more sticky my hands are getting. Any urgent advise would be great.

    Will it not just peel off when it's dry?
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I saw a bit about this on one of the DIY programmes - I'm sure they said to use a baby wipe!

    I saw this and groaned......about 5 years ago, I had a tube of bathroom sealant split whilst I had it in the gun......I squeezed the trigger and it went absolutely everywhere.....it took hours to get of my hands and arms - I was panicking -I wish i'd known about baby wipes, I tried every bottle of smellies/shampoo in the bathroom!!!!!
