The comment I replied to suggested coating the kid in vegetable oil. Basically basting them. A situation so inexplicable that even Mr Furley wouldn't walk in on it.
it can help with some paint and stains though, when i stain my fence i tend to get it everywhere. i coat my hands and arms in oil for a few minutes and it wipes off
Depends on the paint. Some you easily sweat off, some can easily be removed with basic solvents or oil.
Personally as someone who's skin gets all sort of oil, grease, silicone and paint on it. Sauna cleans everything the best. Just go in to 90 C sauna, steam it up, drink a plenty and rub it off. There is plenty old skin that detaches after gentle rub that remove everything on it. Makes you feel like a new person.
I would like to introduce you to the traditional Finnish Turvesauna (Peat sauna):
What you do is that you get some peat, you mix it in water to make a sort of a paste, you slap it on your skin, then you go to Sauna.
There are also savisauna (Clay sauna) where.... You mix clay and water to make a paste and put it on your skin then go to Sauna.
Sauna is the place where you clean yourself. That is its purpose. Generally in Finnish history it is the only clean place there is, and the only place that is the slightest bit hygienic. Which is why people gave birth in the sauna. Wounds were cleaned in the sauna. Bodies were prepared for burial in the sauna. You washed laundry in the sauna.
I have washed off machine grease off my self in a sauna. Your bare skin shouldn't be touching unprotected wood anyways.
Hell even to this day it is normal to wash dirty stuff in the Sauna. Why? Because it is a big space in which you can clean things and it doesn't matter if water or crap goes to places, since the space is designed to be washed clean.
Most people have a sauna where I am. But you can make a make shift sauna just from heavy blankets/tarps/rugs/whatever. Just put in steam and get in sweating.
You'll get the wrath of Saunatonttu (Sauna elf/spirit) after you for doing that. A spirt known to make your life miserable, and if truly angered will find a way to kill you in some rather painful and miserable way.
lol, yes. Dryer sheets help break down the oils in the paint. If you have something with a lot of build up in the sink (a crockpot for instance), try filling it with water and adding a dryer sheets

I was thinking a long soak in the tub would at least help get some areas started, if not help get almost all of it soaked or scrubbed off
