Glad you liked the post.I wouldn't say my hands are like iron but they are reasonably tough from my profession. That said, I tried a latex glove at first when doing this but the acetone soon started destroying it and I didn't want residue from the glove mucking the works up so I took it off completely and did it "in the buff".
I found the volatile nature of the acetone on the skin quite refreshing actually. I should have applied some to my temple after the third failed try to cool my head off.
That aside, my wife doesn't show any inhibition with nail polish remover which is essentially acetone, and it apparently doesn't bother her fingers either. The process of getting the old film layer off was quite quick actually as well, just 2 or 3 minutes.
It's all about the music...
