Washing Coral Slim Off Hands

[MarkoD]

so after handling SPS corals i always get that slim on my fingers. I can wash it off but the nasty smell just stays.

I've tried washing with:

Soap
Orange soap with the sand things in it
Vinegar
Dish Soap
Body wash

and nothing can get this smell off my fingers.

anyone got anything else?

White toothpaste works, it's gritty and helps scrub it off.

Fast orange hand scrub. Gritty and had a great lingering scent.

And call me weird..but i like the smell of living acropora,just not the dead smell when you open a cooler

I know cooks in restaurants use a (i think) stainless steel soap bar shaped thing, its supposed to work in sinks too, to get odors out, i believe it is pretty common, u should be able to buy one at walmart or maybe even the dollar store

They can be found in most fishing stores and the fishing departments of big box stores. I think I purchased mine at The Fishing Hole, but I've seen them at Canadian tire.

I don't find that it works particulaly well.
