Finger Oil

[ocoma123]

To remove finger oil from people touching then chips, Windex and drying it out is the best way correct- No Alcohlol Ever?

I hate that darn finger oil from touching chips. Lays and Ruffles arent too bad and Pringles are ok but watch out for Cheetos and Nacho Cheese Doritos! Man that stuff gets everywhere if you aren't careful. I usually just lick my fingers and try not to wipe them on my shirt. I guess in extreme cases Windex might work? And nothing wrong with a little alchohol. A cold brew to wash em down never hurt anyone! Just remember, moderation is the key and use a designated driver when needed.

Best to not spray any kind of cleaner on the chip. No use in introducing any moisture or contaminents into the chip. I usually simply wipe the chip gently with a clean dry cotton cloth. I don't use paper towels because many contain lanolin. And alcohol would be ok as a surface cleaner as long as you are not getting it into the chip itself, but really no need to use it.

this is why im confused......


2. Clean the pit area. In almost 98% of the time after damage to
the windshield occurs, the owner or driver tends to get out and
touch the damage with his or her finger. This deposits finger oils
onto the pit area and this must be cleaned. Use a very small
amount of isopropyl alcohol 91% or better on a paper towel
and lightly wipe the pit area to remove the finger oils, road film,
etc.


this forum says not to......whos right

I use a scribe to remove loose glass and other surface contaminates from the surface of the pit area. Unless your customers are dipping their fingers in some 30W before they decide to touch their windshields, finger oil is a non-issue.

If you are still concerned here is test you can try yourself. Rub your oily finger all over the glass, then place a drop of pit resin on the oily spot, place a curing tab over it and cure as you normally would. Did the pit resin stick? If the pit resin doesn't stick you might consider a new pit resin.
