jiawei_91 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Was working on my model when I accidentally spilled future on my table, some parts...and onto my pants and shirt. Wasn't wearing any undergarments, so the future went through my thin-material pants onto the privates. Went into emergency mode, went for a shower, washed the affected body parts with soap and water. Is there anything else I should do? Is future poisonous or what? This has gotta be the worst spill. Ever. Lim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 well you wouldn't want to eat it, but I think you'll survive with a shower Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gundamhead Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You ought to be fine. Possibly sticky if you missed any. For a real adventure, try spilling laquer thinner onto your privates. You'll know the difference between worst spill ever then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 now give yourself a panel line wash then a flat coat followed by some drybrushing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiawei_91 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'll pass the weathering this time, thanks. Seems to be fine after the shower. Thanks for the replies. Lim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Per the label, ammonia removes future. Scrub the affected areas vigorously with full strength ammonia and report back to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Rubbing alcohol work too although i would get that near the affected parts in question Now you know that for modeling you need Latex gloves, safety glasses and underwear Edited July 14, 2011 by Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there anything else I should do? Is future poisonous or what? This has gotta be the worst spill. Ever. Lim Hardly the worst spill ever. Its probably one of the safer products in modelling. Think about it, its a general purposed finish for floors; if it was poisonous then it probably wouldn't be used in households where children can come in contact with it. Its also one of the easier ones to clean up... alcohol should get it out of anything. As Gundamhead said, try spilling Lacquer thinner or even getting it on your hands. That dull tingling sensation you get is the poison at work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 As long as you got it cleaned up with some hot water before it set up, you should be just fine. Cleaning it up becomes rather more labour intensive after it has set. Your clothes might be a loss if you left them to sit for any length of time without soaking them. Now, had you spilled CA....

turboz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Gasoline down the front side and onto the private parts isn't fun at all either. I was sitting in the back seat of an ultralight. My instructor was filling the overhead fuel tank with a handcranked gas pump. He couldn't see the level and overflowed it onto me. Second was spilling MEK and getting it into my eye. No harm done, but scared the @#$% out of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ross blackford Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) :D, Was refuelling a C-130 late in the afternoon, just on dusk, at Richmond once and was doing the manifold drain when I thought I heard the drain pump cavitate (there was a lot of other noise going on at the time). Anyhow, I thought I heard the drain pump cavitate, pressed the fuel hose cap in and promptly copped quite a few litres of Eau de Kerro all over me from head to toe. Obviously the manifold drain hadn't finished and it was something else on the tarmac that had made a noise like the pump cavitating. I must have looked a right swell walking into 3 RAAF Hospital in my underdaks and sox carrying my clothes and boots in my hands. Fortunately the hospital staff had been forwarned of what had happened and my impending arrival in the tarmac van but they still had a great laugh at my expense. After a beautiful warm 15 minute shower and a good lathering up with lots of soap followed by a proper examination I was relieved of duty for the rest of the night and sent back to my barracks in a hospital gown, much to the amusement of the rest of my mates. , Ross.
