Can't remember how or where I found this idea years ago, might have been right here, so I won't claim that I discovered it.
Just haven't heard anyone mention it lately.
Lots of people wear gloves, which is probably best if you have them. I ran into the problem once or twice of wanting to start harvesting, but had work or plans right afterwords, and no gloves. Usually it takes a while to get your fingers to smell and feel normal after harvesting, even if you wash and scrub them for a while.
So I started pouring a little vegetable oil on my hands. It can be olive oil, canola, whatever. Then I rub my fingers together with the oil for a minute, which starts to make the resin ball up and come right off your skin. Then use a lot of soap to wash the oil and crap off. Hands are not sticky and smell normal. Repeat if your fingers still stick together. Sometimes I need to do it twice to get it all.
Try it out if you don't have gloves around and want to harvest. I swear it works even though it sounds like some crazy shit. Been doing it for years. Somehow the oil binds with the resins and chemistry magic happens or something....![Joint :joint: :joint:](/styles/smilies/joint.gif)
