wow.. so here is the real answer : coconut oil, use coconut oil like go-jo then dish soap and rinse off. good for your skin, smells nice and removes the stick like a charm! kinda pointless if your breaking up to roll a J but if your trimming, it the bomb. (second to latex gloves)
AND - you get scissor hash!

I'd use a glass bottle and some scissors if you don't have grinder, if this is a long term solution make sure the scissor tip is blunt otherwise it could put glass fragments in your weed when you go crazy chop chop haha!
If you gotta crush it up with fingers I'd recommend crushing it in paper if it's dry enough then you don't lose the goodies. I'm a vaper so I rarely get sticky fingazzzz!!!

Just keep some isopropyl alcohol nearby. I use that and a paper towel to clean my scissors.
the alcohol will break down the resin and evaporate pretty quick.
the other day I was trimming some big branches and my fingers had so much resin on them i literally took a lighter and could burn the resin on my fingers and smoke it
alcohol is the answer. i always have a box of alcohol pads on hand for quick jobs like cleaning weed goo off my hands or wiping down a glass peice. easier than fussing with the liquid, but i have a giant jug of 93% for big jobs like cleaning the bong and stem and shit. the pads are real good for scrubbing fingers though.

I use a small jar of isopropyl 91%. I dunk my fingers in it while trimming, then top off the alcohol when it gets low. When it's pretty well saturated with trichomes, I pour it into a glass pie pan and let it evaporate. Fine hash.

The Vegetable oil is what I use when trimming. Just rub it around real good and dish soap it off. Scissors as well, AFTER I scrape 'em really well with a razor blade. The Coconut oil sounds like it would work well also. I gotta try that.does that work with trimming?cuz everytime i trim, when im out of gloves, i cant get the stickiness to go away no matter how long i wash my hands. lol
I rub my hands and fingers together to "roll" up the hash on them, then scrape the scissors with a single edged razor to clean them before I wash 'em.Just keep some isopropyl alcohol nearby. I use that and a paper towel to clean my scissors.

You must have had awful acetone, or something mislabeled. Acetone is an absolute resin piranha.

wipeing it off on your hair? doesnt even seem like it would work.

I am splitting hairs here, but acetone, while a fairly polar solvent, is less so than the shorter alcohols, like methanol, ethanol, the propanols. Alcohols are quite polar.
I've had good luck removing resin with alcohols, acetone and various hydrocarbons.
ANC, after a solvent wipe, have you tried a vegetable oil? Works a treat ime. cncn
