    both really gooner, I actually find modified grout residue the hardest to get off my hands, but usually comes off ok with a rough pumice stone.

    I find the standard set harder to remove, especially Larson's CTA it's an absolute bugger to remove from skin once set.

    I wear gloves about 60-70% of the time.
    I'v seen too many men with serious hand skin problems.
    No joke when you see people suffering with bad hands.
    Without them we couldn't tile !
