How to remove Flex Paste off skin

Flex Paste® is a thick, rubberized paste designed to adhere to various surfaces and create a strong, waterproof seal—but if it accidentally gets on your skin, removing it quickly is key.

Step-by-Step: Removing Flex Paste from Skin

1. Act Fast If Flex Paste gets on your skin, work quickly to remove it before it starts to dry.

2. Wipe with a Clean, Dry Cloth Do not use water. Instead, grab a clean, dry cloth and gently wipe away as much of the paste as possible before it begins to set.

3. Use Mineral Spirits or Baby Oil (If Needed) If any residue remains, apply a small amount of mineral spirits, baby oil, or petroleum jelly to a cloth and gently rub the affected area. This will help break down the paste without irritating your skin.

4. Wash with Soap and Water Once the Flex Paste is removed, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water to eliminate any remaining residue.

5. Moisturize Your Skin Since Flex Paste is a strong adhesive, it may cause dryness after removal. Applying a moisturizer or lotion can help keep your skin feeling comfortable.
