    How harmful is 'KURUST' to skin??

    Just been out doing some bits on the Calibra, ground some small patches of rust off underneath back end, and was applying Kurust to areas i'd ground off...I was wearing them thin rubber gloves, but i didnt realise the fingers had spilt and the kurust had run down the brush and through the gloves and onto my skin...

    Says on the bottle something like 'avoid contact with skin and if contact wash with plenty of soap and water' which i did as soon as i'd realised it had got onto my skin, and i got most of it off, but there is still some ingrained in small cracks and in nails etc

    Just wondering is it ok and will it come off in time or do i need to run myself upto hospital tomorrow??

    Hope someone knows?

    Thanks

    Sounds as though you've done everything you can - I've managed to get loads of it on my hands and arms over the years with no detrimental effects.

    I think the oils on your skin will neutralise it anyway, I've got loads of various chemicals onto my skin, it just leaves a rash in worst cases.
    As long as you don't get it onto sensitive parts like eyes, mouth or helmet, you'll be OK.
