I see all this about hand cleaner and I have to put in my .02.
I don't use near as much hand cleaner as I used to because I started using
rubber gloves when I work on the B. They are inexpensive and fit tight enough
to still let you feel what you are doing. Sort of a "condom" for you hands.
They do break sometimes but then you only have a small spot on your hands to
clean and I never have to scrub my nails any more.
They are availble at the drug store in boxes of 50.

..after using "magic glove" which is mixture of sodium silicate and other
stuff, I've started simply coating my hands with ivory soap before
beginning work! I'f you're not going to get your hands wet, this
works great. Just get a bar of ivory, get it a little wet, work up
some soap slime, and then just work it into your hands, paying particular
attention to the fingernails, cuticles, etc.: all those places that
require a wire brush and Lava to get halfway presentable.
Once you've worked the soap in until your hands are dry again (1-2 min.)
You're ready for work. When you're done, you'll find that the grease and
grime come off much easier!
an' it's cheap, too!
