ubure Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I mean during pouring and afterwards? Do you wear gloves in order not to have fingerprints on the containers? I hate it when candles are finished and then they have fingerprints all over! How do you handle this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 You could just take a towel and wipe them after you're done. I find it hard to work with gloves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Microfiber towels are the best for fingerprints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doneen Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I do wear gloves sometimes, the ladies gardening gloves with the rubber grippy nubs on the palms. They protect my hands from getting burned when I'm wiping out a hot pouring pot or presto pot (I'm a wuss, lol) and the rubber grips stop the handle from slipping out of my hands too (good if you tend to be clutzy like me sometimes). For fingerprints, baby wipes or alcohol wipes are handy. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artcwolf Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've got a couple of ov' gloves one with the rubber on it the other without. It's nice for getting the cookie sheet out of the oven, wiping out the presto pot, and if heaven forbid you need to move a hot mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 After cleaning the jars in a solution of Parson's Sudsy Ammonia and HOT water, then allowing the jars to air-dry upside down, I never touch the inside of the container again. The jars stay upside down until they are wicked. I wear gloves when wicking. Any fingerprints on the outside after pouring can be quickly removed before attaching labels, lids, etc. using a lint-free cloth or paper towel moistened with GlassPlus or any ammonia-based glass cleaner.

Flicker Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I wash all my jars in the dishwasher before wicking them and dry on the heat cycle with rinse aid. Yep, I am OCD with fingerprints too. I wick my jars using an Ez Wick Setter and I wipe the outsides after they are done before they are labeled using industrial window cleaner on paper towel. I could not work in gloves if ya paid me to. I don't even wear them when I make CP soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenny Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I use the unscented baby wipes on my jars and if I've been a little messy with the wax it takes that right off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Okay, thank you all! I can't stand wearing gloves, too:D .But I will try the baby wipes, that's a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
