Yea joe, I have.

Uh oh! <br /><br />Orange gojo for me.. I keep a regular bar of soap for after the gojo so I don't smell like an orange..<br /><br />FWIW.. I took to wearing them "Mechanix" gloves when doing heavy stuff like pulling props and such.. They saved me from many a busted knuckle.. They also protect from them nasty sharp barnicles too..

I've developed an allergy to certain kinds of soap

Joew94th - Fwiw, it is not an allergy…although you probably don’t care. As I understand it, your body has been ‘sensitized’ to the chemistry of certain cleaning products. It’s not uncommon. Happens with people in darkrooms that can’t keep their hands out of photography chemistry, too. Whenever you come in contact with the chemistry you have been sensitized to you will develop a rash, but only where you come in contact. If it were an allergy you would get a rash everywhere.<br /><br />Good news! It’s temporary…it’s supposed to go away anytime within about 20-years…no kidding, 20-years. …IF you stay away from the irritating chems.

Well Trent, FWIW, I was being serious again.<br />Dawn dishwashing liquid does it for me.<br /><br />I like to use it to wash the wheels on my truck and after using it, my hands look like they were put in a microwave, no don't ask, all red and stuff, so I had to quit using it and started using a regular wheel cleaner.
