Lacquer thinner typically evaporates faster than alcohol. This is because lacquer thinner is a solvent that contains a mixture of volatile organic compounds, which have a lower boiling point and higher evaporation rates compared to the ethanol or isopropyl alcohol commonly found in alcohol. The specific formulation of the lacquer thinner can affect its evaporation rate, but generally, it will evaporate more quickly than alcohol.

How do you get oil based paint off your hands?

The best way I know of is the use of a skin friendly oil. Work it in well and keep rubbing. If you are having trouble, use a bit of abrasive, such as corn meal mixed into the oil. To prevent this happening in future, put lots of hand cream or lotion on the exposed areas of skin, wear gloves or invest in the product "Gloves in a Bottle" which can be found in many good paint retail stores and some craft stores.

What would happen if you use laquer thinner on your hands followed by hand sanitizer?

Using lacquer thinner on your hands can cause skin irritation, drying, and potentially lead to chemical burns due to its harsh chemicals. Following it with hand sanitizer may exacerbate the irritation and dryness, as the alcohol in the hand sanitizer can further strip the skin of its natural oils. It is not recommended to use lacquer thinner on the skin, and if accidental exposure occurs, it's important to rinse the affected area with water immediately.


Are the black trims along the side of the truck riveted in I would like to remove them but I am not sure if they are put on with a tape or rivet?

Usually they are held on by double sided tape. It is easier to remove them by using a heat gun or hair dryer then slowly pulling on it. Then remove the leftover adhesive with some laquer thinner or sometime some strong rubbing alcohol will work. Good luck.
