Lol dont worry itll peel off. Sometimes it takes a few days

Mechanical removal is about the only way. Peel it off. I also use tweezers to scrape and help remove as well. It will wear away over time.

 

[Pure Fishigan]

Thanks lol

Nail polish remover.

Option: Soft soap and a scotch brite scrub pad

It’s a badge of honor in the reefing world. Usually from mounting corals not grabbing a glue tube but we won’t tell anyone.

+1
But it has to be ACETONE nail polish remover, not that new "safe" stuff.

I scrape it off with a knife but my hands have been through a lot and are not tender or sensitive at all. I just love the feeling when it coats your the part of your finger where prints are taken

It'll come off on it's own. Welcome to the joys of fragging coral!

Yeah - alarming perhaps, but totally benign. One time I got it so bad (annoying is all) that I tried the vegetable oil trick and it helped with manual removal, but it wasn't actually doing anything crazy.

I’ve been fragging for about five years, although never that bad to the point where it’s jammed under my fingernail lol, on a side note BRS dries very fast lol

Salt and water actually is what google says to remove it.

Pumice stone or some fine sandpaper I used when got loads on my fingers when aquascaped.
Can just let dry and peel off but like said above will find some left day or so later, I just peeled off and gently sanded my fingers with sandpaper lol
Fingers was smooth as a baby's bum ^_^

Just go soak in a bubble bath until your skin gets wrinkled, then scrub it loose.
