    I have been slowly (with the help of spunky) been building a dollhouse for the girls. I have it built, and the exterior is done. I am now faced with the challenge of the interior. I have been buying the furniture for each room (that you assemble yourself) which is a pain in the ass. But to assemble it yourself it is only $6 per room and you can make it look however you want, wheras to buy it premade, you have no choice in color or fabric and you pay $30 per room. So I have been painting and staining and polyurethaning furniture and I now have a thin coat of polyurethane all over my hands and don't know how to get it off!!! HELP!!!

    it's already dry i take it?

    just wait and it'll wear off

    or the extra nasty style nail polish remover might work

    actually i recommend using hospital style latex gloves when using any of that stuff

    it's not good for you



    [there's oil and water based poly with different clean up requirements, doesn't it say on the label?]

    It says use mineral spirits for clean up, but I was just planning on throwing the brushes away when I was done, so we didn't get any. I think I will try the nail polish remover, I have some of that stuff, not good for the acrylic nails, but oh well. I will definately wear gloves for the next coat.

    battery acid might work. you might also try a hatchet or a garbage disposal.

    If for some wild circumstance, I happen to be
    in the position of building a dollhouse, I will
    model it on the house from "Psycho."


    The above can be taken in one of two ways:

    A. I should never ever have children.

    B. I will make the most kick-ass dad in the
    history of the universe.
